The Website

As you may or may not have noticed my personal website (currently hosted at http://iyou.cyberbotx.com) is down. I'm not sure how long it's going to be down for. Until the real site comes back up you can check out a mirror at: http://iyouboushi.netfirms.com

Unfortunately the mirror has ads that even Firefox's adblock can't remove. But at least the site is up. Most of the files that were being hosted on the site, however, are still down. I went ahead and uploaded a few:

Kaiou Battle Bot Files
Kon, the C# Chatter Bot, Files

The rest will just have to wait until the real site pops back online or I get unlazy enough to upload them all.

Hopefully this outage won't be for long.

A Small Update

It's been awhile since I last posted in this little blog and I thought it was time to let people know I was still alive and kicking.

I've been working on Kon version 1.0.11. So far here's the changelog for that version:

• Fixed a small issue of certain modes not displaying all of the data (such as opping not showing who was opped).
• Changed the logger and display so that it shows which channel the line appears in. I.e. [#channel] <> message
  
• Fixed an error that would cause the bot to chop off the ":" in an emoticon if that was the first thing said in a line.
• Added a /CLEAR command to the console. Will clear the window of all text.
• Worked on the reconnect code...again.
• Added method to handle the appearance of KICK messages.

Regarding the reconnect code this time around: I'm pretty sure it works a whole lot better but it still seems to have flaws. For some reason I just can't seem to get it to work correctly. Sometimes the bot will reconnect, but most of the time it gives an error that persists. And sometimes it'll reconnect but disconnect immediately after without reason. But I'll keep at it.

This version is not available for download just yet.

For some reason I felt compelled to sign up for Twitter. I really don't know why and I'll probably rarely even use it beyond this initial mention of it. But who knows? http://twitter.com/iyouboushi

I entered, and failed, NaNoWriMo this year. My (unfinished) novel can be found by clicking here. I still need to update the blog and continue the story. I do intend to finish the novel, I just don't know when.

Barring some pointless Internet Drama, there's nothing else to mention. Thus this update has come to an end.

New Site is Live!

Woohoo! I finished my new design faster than expected. Soooo... my new site design is now up and ready to be viewed by the world!

I'm actually rather proud at how it came out. It may not be the most complex site in the world but it works great for what I need it to.

Everything that was up on the previous site is now on this site. There are a few things that aren't quite done yet, such as the history of my site (a look at my site from 1999 to now) but I can add that at a later date.

New Website Design Coming

I've finally gotten sick and tired of my current website design. So I'm working on a new one. It's going to be a little easier to edit pages down the road if I want to add more pages to a certain category. It's also brighter.

Here's a sample image.



Hopefully this site will be done in a few days.
