vBulletin

vBulletin has become my favorite (paid) bulletin board software as late. Why? It’s use of Javascript is much better than IPB’s, and it’s become more user-friendly to use than IPB because of that. Big-Board’s Statistics show that by far, vBulletin has more boards that are “big”, than IPB. Big-Boards define “big” to be a [...]

Invision Power Board

My (used to be) favorite bulletin board software, Invision Power Board is pretty powerful. The framework of Invision Power Board is fairly stable, and easy to mod.
However, recent releases of IPB (2.1.x) have been so buggy that 2.1.0 was virturally unusable, and they have since then (september) gotten to release 2.1.5, in 1/2 of a [...]

AJAXwrite

While Crusing around the KL Slashdot News forum, I found something rather interesting. It seems Michael Robertson, and apparently a team of coders, although not specified, are designing a suite of free tools to compete with Microsoft Office, and possibly others. They plan on releasing a new one each week. Using AJAX, this is done [...]

Forum Software

There are four main pieces of software that people use when making forums. They are: vBulletin, Invision Power Board, PHPBB, and SMF. Looking at all of these pieces of software, it’s confusing to pick which to use when there are so many. Over the next four days, I’ll rant about each one. Right now, I’ll [...]

Note to Auto-Updating Software Developers:

If you have Auto-Updating software, for the love of god, only make the user’s download changes! Don’t make them redownload the whole software. This is like the 5th update where my Auto-Assault demo has downloaded the same 2 gigs of info! Guess what the changes were? It was something like sometimes you couldn’t see ammo, [...]

Expect the Unexpected

I know this is overstressed, but here, I’ll stress this again. Expect the Unexpected. How?
I honestly cannot tell you how to expect the unexpected. If I knew, I’d be somewhere near the status of God (hehe!). But, what I CAN do is tell you a story.
Six months or so ago, I played some arcade games [...]

Saint Patricks Day Ads!

Saint Patricks day ads have arrived! You can see them on Krazy Letter!
For Google’s explanation about the ads, see their help topic. They are limited to only some countries.
There were also Halloween, Christmas, and Chinese New Year Google Ads, so this is not the first time Google has done something like this.

Hello from GameClaw_268

Well, hi people! I guess I’m gonna be helping Lappy with this blog… partially because I’ve got nothing better to do. I’m one of the more active members on the Krazyletter forums, recently. Technically, I’m also one of the oldest… but I took a year-long or so leave, for various reasons. I also make video [...]

Windows Start Beta?

I’ve noticed that after Live.com has a new layout…for people who miss the old one, I’ve recently found a Start.com, which is basically the old layout of Live.com.
What do you think is with that? Microsoft wouldn’t buy Start.com for no reason at all, it would be an expensive domain to buy. Are they going to [...]
