FilePirate Moves to CodePlex – Hoping to be ready for LAN
May 3rd
After some dealings with Google with regards to FilePirate, and not dealings in a good way – I determined to move FilePirate away from Google Code. What sits there currently will continue to for a couple months, and will be deleted within a few months. So, with that move, FilePirate found its new home on Microsoft’s CodePlex. Now I’m usually not the fan of Microsoft products or projects, but CodePlex is actually pretty cool. Luckily they offer support for a non-crappy SCM solution now that they’ve picked up support for Mercurial. So, the new home for FilePirate is now http://filepirate.codeplex.com/.
With that being said – it is my plan to actively bring FilePirate back into development, and I hope to have it completed for use at this month’s LAN69 – which is May 28-30. If you’d like to see FilePirate in action, sign up for the LAN and get some fragging in as well. We’ve got some awesome prizes, too!
Vault Head Game’s Release – It’s (hopefully) REALLY Around the Corner
Apr 29th
Okay, so I know I said nearly a month ago (possibly more than a month ago), that Vault Head Game’s first game release is right around the corner. Yeah, obviously, that didn’t happen for reasons you can read in the archive. Well, now we have it all worked out (hopefully), and the release of the game to the App Store should be coming soon. Obviously, I will do my best to keep everybody posted.
Vault Head Games and its first release – just around the corner!
Mar 30th
That’s right! I’ve finally seen a project through to its entirety! Vault Head Games, my game development company, is going to be releasing its first game very soon! The game right now is in it’s post-beta, final build, and is going to be going to the app review department at Apple at the end of the week! Within a few weeks, hopefully everybody will finally see Vault Head Games on the “What’s New” list on the iPhone/iPod App Store…and preferably not too long afterwards be seen in the “What’s Hot” lists! More details on the game and its release will come as we get things ironed out and hashed out – so keep your eyes peeled!

Long Awaited Release of the WordPress-SMF Bridge 0.2!
Nov 23rd
For those of you using this plugin, the long-awaited 0.2 release has been made today. It has only been tested in a development environment and may have bugs. For anybody wishing to report bugs do not do it here! Instead, please go to the Google Code page (http://code.google.com/p/wp-smf-bridge) and do so there. My response to questions here will be severely delayed. Please use Google Code and the Google Group created for this plugin. Thank you all for your support!
WP-SMF-Bridge is a simple user registration and logon bridge between WordPress and Simple Machine Forum. To get this working, it is highly recommended that you have a fresh, unmodified install of SMF 1.1 or higher installed and running. To install the plugin, either use WordPress’ built-in plugin installation features, or visit the Google Code page for more information.
LANRails Website and now Unified Logins!
Oct 28th
So, with my slated date for LANRails’ beta launch (scheduled for this weekend – hopefully I can hit the date), I figured it was about time to set up an actual webpage for it. So, feel free to go to the new LANRails website: http://lanrails.jonnyfunfun.com/. LANRails will hopefully be fully functional by the weekend, and if so will be posted up on the LAN69 website (www.lan69.com) to run the signups and pre-registrations for my first LAN party since the purchase of the new house, scheduled for the second weekend in December.
Also coming with the LANRails website is unified logins! When you create a user on either the base website, or on the LANRails website, or any website part of my network (hereon dubbed the RicePaddy Network), you will be able to use that username and password amongst all of the websites! So, if you have registered here on my personal site, your username and password combination will work on the LANRails website and vice-versa. They’re also the same for the forums, which are active on the LANRails site.
Beginning my iPhone development…
Sep 18th
Well, I’ve finally broken down and done it. I’ve replaced my Windows desktop with a Mac, and now I’ve been sucked in to the realm of iPhone development. So if anybody has been wondering why it’s been a while since I’ve made a post – it’s because I’ve been spending my time working, being with the family, and developing for the iPhone. So keep your eyes peeled, because sooner than later, Vault Head Games is going to have a game on the App Store! More details to come soon!
Lots of changes in the pipe, LANRails on github!
Aug 3rd
WOw, so it has been quite a long time since I’ve done anything here – I guess I should probably get off my butt and do something. Well, I am, in fact. Coming up soon there will be a new theme, as well as all of the subdomains using the same WordPress install – you know what that means: unified logins! Yay! So keep your eyes peeled for a new look for the site, as well as a special look for all of those of you who like to follow the cult favorite RicePaddy.org. I will be resurrecting the old RicePaddy theme, though the content will still be the same!
In other news, for LAN party management website software solutions, there’s another player in town – LANRails, your Ruby On Rails solution for managing a LAN party! Visit my LANRails project on github.com if you are interested in it.
And also in other news – there’s a new beer in the primary as of yesterday – a Chocolate Coffee Stout! Keep your eyes peeled on the site for recipes!
MassiveLAN – T-4 days and counting!
Jul 6th
That’s right, there is only 4 days left until MassiveLAN ‘09! Pre-pay is closed, but you can still register on the website and show up at the door to attend this year’s amazing event! Now, for those of you that have been following the development of FilePirate – you might want to know that the beta test of FilePirate at last weekend’s GPA gameday did not happen – it was nowhere near done. And, actually, it still isn’t done – but it will be just in time for MassiveLAN! So come to MassiveLAN, frag your friends, meet new friends, frag them, and use the latest, most advanced piece of file sharing software possible!
