More and more updates!

April 5, 1999

I've decided to take the Music Repository offline. Click the link to find out why. I've been working on the web page for work -- check out the preliminary design here.

My CS406 page has will be changing drastically in the next week or so -- we've decided to do a tests on a distributed web server with an SQL backend instead of a Beowulf cluster. I'm a little disappointed, but this will still be fun (and I'll learn a lot about SQL and running web servers to their limits).

I started a complete re-write of Themble early last week. The old version had some interface quirks, and the code was getting a bit unwieldy. I've ported and cleaned up the internal representation of E data structures from the 0.1.x source, and written the parsing (and saving hooks) for my own proprietary format. After that I plan on implementing exporting, and _then_ the GTK+ interface. This should keep my code more managable, and allow Themble to be used as a non-GUI editor also. I've chosen to leave the web page as-is for the time being, because I've noticed everybody likes screenshots (and I can't exactly produce them with 0.2.0 just yet).

Finally, Tim did get a new computer after all. I hope people have been emailing him so he will change his ugly-assed web page. Anyways, school is starting to pick up, and I've been working a lot more hours at work recently, so the page may not get updated as much anymore. Feel free to send me some email, though.
