After making my most recent additions to the phpBB code base of PHP syntax highlighting and the usermode toggle based upon ‘authenticated’ users for the login schema, I’ve opted to further close the gap.

Unlike default phpBB boards, mine now also touts the ability to discern if a local user is accessing as a ‘Guest’, and as such will not print links to user’s profiles, or their most recent posts. This not only cuts down on unnecessary spider accesses, but also malicious spiders, which seek to obtain email addresses for spam lists. This in no away affects any ‘normal’ user, and the only drawback is that guests are unable to view a user’s profile.

The forum is a great place to get support from myself, and other users of my software.

Upon updating the rest of my website, ensuring that things have a common flow, I realized that I have been neglecting something rather important – my resume!

The brief synopsis is still rather dull and lengthy, but I have added a bit of pizzazz to the plaintext and word documents.

For those of you who want a friendlier launcher for DOSBox, Radnor may be just what you are looking for.

Sveinbjorn brought it to my attention when asking about my optimized DOSBox binary distribution. In his own words:

Radnor, my launcher for DOSBox, is pretty much done and can be downloaded at http://sveinbjorn.vefsyn.is/radnor. I’ve bundled your binary with it and it runs like a charm.

Thanks for your work, Sveinbjorn – many MacOS X DOSBox users rejoice!

After a few years deterred in California, I’ve made it back to Reno. The weather is exactly as I remember; the highways seem to be under perpetual construction, which is certainly a sign of growth.

Ah well, it’s nice to be back home. There’s certainly more of a technological industry, but I must admit that I do miss the saturation of geekiness of California.
