Hello Brigitte, I don’t remember if I responded to you via email, but thank-you for the congratulations.

Unfortunately, I am once again looking for employment.

The skin is certainly cute, and I am a little saddened I will no longer be able to develop it.

Thank-you again.

Hello Lisa, when you say 1.0, 1.05, 2.0, what are those version numbers referring to? The skin itself has only ever been 1.1 to 1.6.

This skin is only usable with version 8.5 of Windows Live Messenger, and I’m sure Microsoft have now forced upgrades to the latest 9.0 version; which the skin is not compatible with. What error message do you see, and where do you see it?

As a side note, I now use Linux full time; and no longer use a Windows based operating system. This means any future development of a 9.0 compatible skin is likely only a clouded dream.

Dear Sir/Madam.
First off all, congratulations on the job! Hope you’re still going strong!
Second, I’m sad I didn’t discover the All Woollie Sheep-skin earlier. It really was too cute.
All the best, Brigitte (Belgium).

Comment on Game: WET. by Tony

Well, after many days of waiting; I have finally received my copy of WET. A game which should have been on next day delivery, but took a total of six.

I noticed the package as I was leaving for my college course at about One-Forty PM, and dumped my bag and clothes to quickly bring it up-stairs; where it now sits on my some-what growing pile of games. Half of which are un-opened.

Working most certainly gets in the way of gamernating.

It will be some time before I get around to playing, so this is a simple up-date to say I purchased the game; at a reasonable £19.99.

At a few points in the game leads you in the right fashion craze. This happens at set times and moments that turn the color palette for the game and everything is red, white or black. This is Rubi much stronger and faster and the body count is terribly high. Although this is the first time, fun and innovative, as its is shown here – http://www.techarena.in/review/11563-wet-game-xbox-360.htm

Correction: Ben’s posts outweigh yours in every aspect except frequency. They’re still more awesome.

Comment on Library Visits. by Tony

I can’t read on-line very well, so after a few paragraphs I would give up.

I’m one, like yourself, who enjoys the feel of a book; the comfortable, yet oh-so-awkward, position you end up slouched in; the turn of a page, just to forget the last sentence and having to re-read it . . .

I can’t think why I ever stopped reading.

I wondered how long it would take you.

This is the UK, I don’t think any business has self respect.

As far as used book stores go, I doubt we have one here. I can’t help thinking now I should just keep my money.

We’re only allowed to borrow the books for four weeks as well. We shall see if it’s worth it.

You could also get Aaron to send you a link where a site hosts an HTML copy of it. Unless you like the feeling of dead wood in your hands like I do. I bought a copy of it after I read it one time.

What sort of self-respecting library doesn’t have a copy of Nineteen Eighty-Four? Really? And what sort of self-respecting public library charges you money?

Next time, go to your local used bookstore. You can probably pick up a copy there for under £3, maybe even for less. Then you’d have it immediately and have it for life (or you could donate it to the library, which seems to be in need of a serious injection of book-purchasing funds).

Comment on Sucky Tab Indexes. by Tony

Tony — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 04:15:43 +0000

Of all the entries you could have replied too . . .

Hai!

Will that work on the links, or is it only for forms? If it works on links, you will need to explain; as I barely know php.

The form side of it I think I could manage.

Use a form handler function.

$tabIndex = 0;
function makeInput($name, $type) { // Handle name and type, and increment $tabIndex. Write out form field. }

Comment on Messenger skin up-dates. by Tony

Tony — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 12:07:47 +0000

Well, the Plus! live website no longer accepts skin up-dates for version 8.5 of messenger.

Oh well, Enhanced Live is complete; and AWS is awaiting version 9.0 up-dates.

Both of these are available in the projects area for your use.
