Dear Microsoft, I am fed up with having to take your non-compliant shit! I hearby announce Internet Explorer shall not be supported by me... EVER.

My advice to readers is ditch the massive resource guzzling, insecure, standards non-compliant pile of crap and use something safer, faster and better! See my list.

Tarting up the Forums

Posted Saturday 12th June, 2010. @ 21:09

Hello everyone,

Long time no speak. I have been rather busy with other things, however the fruits of my labour have paid off.

In the meantime there is little new on the web front - few tweaks and enhancements to PZTme, and opening the advert-free O-PB.eu.

Anyways, this afternoon I decided to tart up the Forums a little, make them look a little more stylised for Knoxious.co.uk. Basically tweaking the default theme. Enjoy, not that anyone has yet found a need to use it or complain :P

 

Email2Pic Issues being fixed...

Posted Friday 7th May, 2010. @ 17:25

Hello,

Long time no speak. I am currently fixing some of the issues that are being thrown by Email2Pic.

Our partner, RPM-Productions, suffered some hardware damage and so lost their full code for ImgDep... for this reason I have redirected the hosting service to PZT.Me - this is temporary. Your email image will be stored for 1 year and it will be stored privately, hopefully ImgDep will be restored and the service will run as normal.

On a side note, a number of fonts are broken. I am not sure why this is but I apologise and will attempt to fix it soon.

PZTme API in the works...

Posted Friday 2nd April, 2010. @ 21:47

Hey guys,

I have been über busy and not able to get a lot done with sites and what not - I have been stuck in my portfolio and jobs! Joy.

Anyway, I have added two features to PZTme!

  1. Line Highlighting [Demo]
  2. Developer API

At the moment the API is only available on PZTme βeta, but will be implemented into PZTme αlpha once I have perfected it! A sample form to use with the API has been documented here. Feel free to use PZTme αlpha to develop whatever you want (if you want) for our Pastebin script, please keep in mind that I will be releasing the sourcecode soon.

Battle against the WWW!

Posted Monday 22nd March, 2010. @ 23:05

The 'www.' really is deprecated, or it is at least on its way to being deprecated. Stop supporting it, it is not necessary and it wastes time typing it!

Personal portfolio online!

Posted Sunday 21st March, 2010. @ 01:26

I am currently putting my architectural portfolio online. It is nothing special, I just wanted a simple, plain theme to display my works. Don't feel compelled to view it, but it is the product of 3 hard years of my life!

LostAndFound Updated

Posted Wednesday 3rd March, 2010. @ 02:41

Damn, I have been a very busy bee over the last few days. This is just a notice to say I have actually got round to finishing and recompiling LostAndFound and the program can be found here.

Keep your removable media from getting lost!

 

Some jQuery Stuff

Posted Monday 1st March, 2010. @ 16:58

YAY! I have done something new. I have been playing with some jQuery to try and get my head round making something like a sliding carousel image gallery for my architectural portfolio website.

After much faffing around I have decided to try and convert my works to a plugin (something I really should do anyway) and the almost complete product is available for you to play with here.

 

Progress

Posted Thursday 25th February, 2010. @ 20:10

I don't know if I shall fix the support forums just yet, I have a lot of other things to be getting on with. First thing's first I need to finish my portfolio website, sadly. I then need to update some of these pages to incorporate projects I have undertaken.

'Til then, Enjoy :)

 

And we are back...

Posted Wednesday 24th February, 2010. @ 03:26

After a small amount of downtime, knoxious.co.uk is back online. There are also many new features running in the background (sadly) but they make life easier for me to publish without fear of bugs and general predicament.

I am currently working on (Digital)Caffeine to make it smaller and now in C++ using the Win32 API... an 'AutoIt3' pre-release image will be available soon, still rather bulky but has all the features including WINE support.

I am also working on my portfolio, this is taking some sweet-ass time as I am constantly changing it as I am not 100% about it. Hopefully something will arise soon (I hope).

pzt.me has been developed, providing image hosting and link forwarding. I suppose you can describe it as a conglomeration of a paste-bin, URL shortening service and an image host.

What else? Erm. That is about it. I know the forums are down, MySQL is back... will all be back to normal soon.
