Well it seems like the 24 hour session of coding is going to take place on Thursday 31'st August at mid day to Friday the 1'st September mid day.
The main project will be delta cms, but of course, many other projects will get started, finished or updated anyway!
We hope to have Phil Wylie over from PWnet joining us, and Adam Cosnett from Cos-Net will also be attending, though maybe not the full 24 hours.
Phil will be helping with Delta CMS as it's our joint project. He'll also be trying to make a start on HowToUseA.com aswell as many other web based app's.
Adam is hoping to get some C++/SDL based particle engine working for a game he is currently developing along with helping us with our other projects.
I am hoping to get some programs rolling for this site, and also to get Delta CMS and HowToUseA.com done or at least started.
There will be a 24 hour webcam feed alongside a msn address, teamspeak server and skype name for you to contact us.
We'll post some pictures up once the event is done.
24hour Code-a-thon
August 29, 2006, 9:52 pmWow, like....work has started!
August 27, 2006, 9:30 pm
Yup, shocking news plamnet readers!
Some work has started on, well, everything!
- Delta cms:
Well we decided we needed a proper plan so we wouldnt mess things up and work on seperate projects within the project. So once we get a meeting done we might be able to start some good hardcore coding!
- Content:
Well I got one program allmost done, I might leave the last tricky bit and move onto updates for the winamp control, or start some other projects, dont know yet!
And some more idea's we might want people to help with:
- 24/hr code-a-thon:
Me and Phil might try an allnighter to get some serious work done for a change, and that way we can also try and get as many projects done in the time. We even discussed doing it for charity, but it was more of a late night ramble than a serious idea.
- Online RPG:
I might get roped into quite an interesting game project...
- HowToUseA.com:
Another palmnet/pwnet concotion. A wiki devoted to showing users how to use a...light switch, or a bottle opener. Anything really. The wiki would then mean people can give tips, or add in new items to use, or different types of light switch/bottle opener's.
And much more which I might post later!

Forum is gone!
August 26, 2006, 4:59 pm
Well nobody used the forum, and it got spammed to hell by wonderuful spam bot's advertising the latest in free japanese porn.
So I have just removed it forever, however once the new blog system is up, it's also going to have user posting, just like the forum, so dont worry!

Well the delta CMS has been set up, testing done in the test folder.
You can see any releases and other info at out google project page.
Also I added my flickr to the links section, just incase you want to have a look at me and some of the odd random pictures I have.
As for content, I started a text based gaming system, but then it got a bit out of hand, so I have started a re-write which is going alot better, hope for it to be done soon, but many new features are added each day so who know's when the first alpha will be!
I might do some more work to the winamp control, give it some updates for it's display and cut is memory use.
I'm also looking into starting my second year computing project, but there will be more info on that later when I see if my plans are possible!

Well Wim has not been seen nor heard of for some days now, so I might give up all hope and start out on re-doing the blog myself!
I may need some help with that though, so feel free to mail me if you can lend a hand. palmnet [at] gmail [dot] com
Anyway, on the content side I started my uber text game system up again, then it died the next day, but last night I re-did most of the code for version 2, which I hope to release soon once I have programs running smoothly and nesting right.
Anyway, hope to post some more soon!
EDIT:
Phil, long time friend and host of this site, has agreed to share resources and knowledge in comming up with the new blogging code.
However we have a long history of grand idea's and never starting them, let alone completing them, hence why we re-opened development of "Delta CMS" as the new bloggin system will be known.
We had the delta idea about a year ago maybe, but didn't even start it, but we have our google project page up, and the test site has started as a copy of this one for the meantime, I'll post links to these when there is something worth going there for!

AS Exam results:
August 17, 2006, 5:02 pm
Computing: C
Electronics: B
Physics: D
Maths: D
General Studies: D
Yup, those are all below my expected grades -_- I even managed a U in one exam for physics.
Anyway, none are fail's, which is good, so not all bad. And I did get an A for one exam in computing.
Anyway, as for the palmnet updates and new blogging system, not spoken to Wim for a while, he has some studying to do, but I will get on the case soon.
I have been making several programs, all to be uploaded here when completed, of course.

Up's for you, downs for me :S
August 13, 2006, 8:49 pm
Well start with the downs:
Today was crap.
Lizzie left for america this morning.
Work starts again tomoro -_-
Confused with some code, more confused than I have been for some time now.
And the Up's
Spoke to wim about the development of the new site, decided some features and to use ruby on rails.
Got lots of code done!
Either way, work means less time to work on my own stuff, but my own stuff is going ok.
Anyway, as usual, more news when I get it.

I'm back!
August 10, 2006, 3:42 pm
With yet more plans and no time or effort to do them ^^
Anyway, I fixed the rss feed as that began to un-validate itself, and I have been thinking of many new features that this site needs.
Also going to try and relax and do a little bit of programming over the holidays to fill my time and this site.
More news when I can be bothered to post about it!
