Neuromancer

By barneyb on October 12, 2004

I downloaded Neuromancer today, which is a JavaScript library for doing web service calls without page requests. It's pretty slick, though it definitely has a few quirks. However, I spent some time working with it and managed to tack on what amounts to listeners for remote actions.
To put it in English, what you [...]

Fusebox Moving Ahead

By barneyb on October 11, 2004

I'm happy to say that the Fusebox development effort is at long last using version control. Yee-Haw!! After much persuasion and a few hours of work, I've set up a CVS repository and gotten everything squared away for it's continued use. Currently, both read-only and read-write access are both restricted to specific [...]

And the Brackets are Done

By barneyb on October 10, 2004

I spent a bunch of time this weekend designing and mocking up the monitor brackets for the counter computer out of paper. Very high-tech stuff. After that, I laid them out on the computer, all to scale, so I can print out the plans, mock it up again to double check, and then [...]

FB & CFCs Presentation and Example code

By barneyb on September 28, 2004

After numerous requests, I finally got my presentation from the FB conference, along with the example code, zipped up and available for download. It should also be posted on the conference web site, but I'm not exactly sure where.

More from the Conference

By barneyb on September 22, 2004

While I was at the conference, I also had the opportunity to work with John Quarto von Tividar on some fundamental changes to the way the FB core files work. The mods will make the guts of the core files much simpler, make the new custom lexicon features that are being demoed in the [...]

2004 FB Conference

By barneyb on September 21, 2004

I went to the 2004 Fusebox Conference over the weekend, and had a good time. It was held in Rockville, MD, which is somewhere around 20 miles northwest of Washington DC. Nice to see everyone face to face again, and meet various people who I'd not met before.
I also had the privilege of [...]

Counter Computer

By barneyb on September 15, 2004

Amid the rush to get my presentation for the FB conference finished, I also started working on building me a little computer for the bar at our house. I'm planning to mount it inside a dead corner in the cabinets, and hang a monitor from the overhead cupboards, mounted with a super-slick fold-up hinge [...]

Fusebox Conference

By barneyb on August 12, 2004

The annual FuseBox Conference is coming up September 18 & 19. Once again, I will be attending. I'd hoped to go to CFUN as well, but that didn't work out. Should be an informative and enjoyable couple days, including the release of FB4.1, and the announcement of Team Fusebox (whatever that is [...]

New PasswordSafe Coming

By barneyb on August 9, 2004

I got an email from a user of PasswordSafe this morning saying that he'd made some very nice improvements to the project, and wanted to contribute them back to the code. A new encryption algorithm, some enhancements to the UI (tooltips and shortcut keys), a new icon set, and the ability to print out [...]

Enhanced SETI@Home Stats

By barneyb on June 27, 2004

Long ago, on some lonely night, I wrote up a little display engine for showing the status of the various machines I control that run SETI@Home in a single place. Nothing fancy, but it worked. I took some time this evening to make the needed data files from all my machines available via [...]
