Rambling of a Coder

Still coding

Been messing about lately since my last post getting right back into the programming side of PC usage. Been playing with some Javascript under its new name of 'Ajax'. Interesting what people are finally doing with javascript and the web, Calling it ajax and web 2.0 is all a bit bull-shitty though, same old stuff just used correctly finally.
Also been looking at open source software just to see what's going about out there atm, Highly recommend the Free Php/Javascript IDE Called Aptana, Found over here at http://www.aptana.com/
I did notice though that they've released a "Pro" version and are charging for it, Which seems to be quite typical soon as a open source program gets decent and people actually start using it. *Cough* X-Chat *Cough*, Anyway check out the community edition While its still free.

Also though on the open source software front i noticed Mozilla have spread into the IM Client field too with Instantbird, at the moment its very very basic. but it works mostly. Unless you create an IRC account for a server that doesnt exist. you need to actually go and delete all your settings to recover from that one :) I actually only found this one because Windows Messenger Live 8.1 keeps randomly just crashing for me and i was looking for a quick alternative to it. Its that basic I've actually been looking at the source code to it myself see if i can add a few things that i think all IM's require (Emoticons).

Still messing about with XNA too, just been working on my same old TBS game again, nothing really to show just thought it'd mention it. let people know that i am in fact still working on the idea.
