I was experimenting with apache server, url rewriting and php scripts. Made a little script which works with url redirecting and allows to download a file from my hdd. (that worked remotely too :), but ofcourse under username and password and ssl for security)
I am willing to continue to explore php.
Will update (maybe) tomorrow.
Category: Old weblog
Bought a book to help me learn to code in PHP because I need to build a real website. I like this blog, but I think I should create a more real website on the main page instead of this blog. I will probably keep this blog, but I want to move it away from the main page (maybe ddscentral.110mb.com/weblog or like that) and create a real website.
I’ve got a lot of templates available, just need to decide which one to use.
P.S. Maybe I should just use Dreamweawer and html… but I will need to learn php anyway…
Decided to waste some time for some new computer games and shooting virtual monsters. I like shooting virtual monsters from time to time. (or trying to destroy a few virtual ships while playing Empire at war)
Also did a simple PC fix and got some money for that. Well I love getting some money just for resetting bios settings 🙂
Tested my new Infrared Control device connected to com port. This device allows to control your pc like a TV (you can even use your TVs remote control). The Infrared receiver is kinda easy to make (although, I didn’t make it myself, I asked a friend to do it). And it works. All you need is a piece of software called Girder and a plugin for it to work with IR receiver (called IgorPlug).
The infrared control thingy works, but the software is unstable (crashes frequently with no reason). I think, our old windows install probably needs to be re-installed 🙂 .
P.S. There’s also an usb version, but it’s harder to make, and there is no free software for it.
Will post more details after OS re-install.
Update: Early version of LAC* is in the server along with source files. You can use and modify if you want, but you may NOT claim that you created LAC (!!!) or distribute this project (!!!). This version of LAC is for personal use only.
LAC can be found here or here but please note, that current version will allow you to play the game, but not more. The options dialog does not work yet. Will finish LAC later when I will have more time.
* – Lucky Aces
P.S. Note our old nice logo 🙂 And, our new host does not allow hotlinking. Use mirror2 as a hotlink if you want to send the link to someone.
Some news:
CardDef project has been updated. The old installer for the sticks game can be found here or here. Two new games are being added to the project and creation of the third one will soon be started when projects LAC (Lucky Aces) and Project3 are finished.
Project3 2.0rel can be found here or here. Will upload LAC tech release soon, because it’s kinda buggy now and not ready for publishing yet…
Was playing a little C&C3 today. Will return to playing after posting this. Not much going on DDS Central these days. We got some old unused hardware, maybe that will be useful to build a small FTP server, but
some hardware is as old as Socket 7, so a lot of computer parts will probably be going to the trashcan. Will post some pics later.
P.S. Anybody needs a Pentium 1 cpu, or some SIMM, PC100, PC133 RAM sticks ? Maybe you need an old Slot 1 or Socket 7 mobo 🙂 ?
