Zenwerx

I have started to record some of my programming experiences under the new “development” section. Inspired by an issue I ran in to at my day job. These posts won’t display on the front page but can be reached from the category menu.

I just wanted to note that I have turned on a mobile friendly version of the site for any users who are using iPhones or iPod touches. If you have any difficulties with the mobile version, please get a hold of me.

Also… There’s a new section under oddities. Something which has been laying dormant for about 4 years and I figured should see the light of day.

I am sad to report my new project has been slightly delayed. I’ve been doing some contract work lately which has been keeping time for personal projects to a minimum. Hopefully some time will be available soon!!!

Yes, I finally got around to updating the site. It looks a little more modern now, as well as includes a “Portfolio” section which includes a selection of my consulting/contract work over the last few years. Where did I get the time to do an update, since I haven’t done anything big in roughly 4-5 years? Well, the thing is that during those last 4-5 years I have been working full time and completing my Comp Sci degree part time (previously I had a College Diploma). It’s been a busy time! Well now the degree is done, so I have some time to do more work that I want to do.

And since I have all this free time now, I think I’m going to start on a new project I’ve been meaning to get around to for a while now. Should have more to post in the near future.

I have removed the forums from the site. I haven’t been using them for some time now, so I don’t really think it’s necessary to keep them around any longer. Maybe I’ll get off my butt and redesign this site at some point too…

Just a note that my resume has been updated.

The site I used to host at http://neuromancer.ca has now been moved to this domain under the http://zenwerx.com/neuromancer/ folder. If you happen to visit and spot any errors, please drop me a line in the forums. More details are available there.

We had a webserver hard drive failure last week. I think that everything is back up and running, and should be back as normal. If you happen to notice any broken links or errors, please leave a message on the forums.

Also… the PI webpage has become the traffic driver for the site. Funny, isn’t it?

FYI for everyone out there using DBC 1.6.2. I’ve had some reports that this version will produce SQL files with no field data or no data at all. I haven’t been able to debug the issue entirely, but there is an “unoffical patched” version (I’m calling it 1.6.3, but it’s not really… )

To get the new version (only if you really need it) download it here.

We wanted to warn our downloaders about some Sony CDs which are infected with DRM. Please take a look at your CDs and see if any of them are on this list which is not complete, but you can do more research if you like. This sony rootkit/DRM infection is also (allegedly) using stolen GPL/LGPL code, which is against what Zenwerx stands for (providing free software and respecting free software licenses).
