You had me at “Re: Information Request”

  • 2 min read

After a good couple of days of research, I've decided to take a chance on vortexhost.com. Unfortunately, I could not find any feedback on the webhost-reviewing sites about them, which doesn't help put my mind at ease. But in the end, the really good comments I've read in vortexhost.com's forums, combined with the really quick and professional replies to the e-mails I've sent Justin Reel (the admin of vortexhost) won me over to at least give them a try. They offer a 14-day money-back period, so here's to hoping that I won't need to see if I can get my money back.

Wookin’ for Dub…

  • 1 min read

So, I'm tired of having things sort of work and sort of not sometimes with regards to my web hosting company and e-mail. In researching for webhosts, I've found some interesting comments from others, most notably that most people start off with web hosts searching for the best price (like me--currently using hachour.net for their really cheap prices), and then after becoming frustrated with the lousy service and support and unprofessionalism, become willing to pay money to not have to deal with it.

kpilot memoconduit accepted into kpilot proper!

  • 1 min read

I realize most won't care about this, but it's an encouragement to me nonetheless. Adriaan has kindly accepted my new memofile conduit into kpilot's CVS repository!! =:) I need to fix it up some as soon as I get a chance and make it kde-compliant for translations, etc., and I still need to get my hand-drawn UML diagrams into a tool and into CVS to go with the code, so those are the next 2 things on my todo-list.

Still alive; kpilot memofile conduit coming along nicely

  • 2 min read

I should have known better, but I dove straight into code with my kpilot memofile conduit. To be fair, I had no clue about kpilot's code base or classes, so it wasn't a waste of time or anything. It was necessary, and now I have a decent understanding of how things work within kpilot. But I reached a point in my conduit where the code needed to be designed/architected, not just thrown in, so I took a break from coding for a day and looked at design. I used umbrello (kde's UML tool), and it does a fairly nice job. My only complaint is that it doesn't do live round trip code syncing/generation, but I due to the fact that both Poseidon and Visual Paradigm for UML don't offer that either with their free versions, I suppose I shouldn't complain. I don't suppose anyone knows of a good UML tool that does live round-trip well with C++???
