Small side project

I have started work on a very small side-project.  I quite often end up spending time away from my computer, but by others that I could use.  I am writing a small C program that can read in my include and library setup for compile commands, and build a batch file to build files.

The idea is to put this on my USB stick, and then when I am out I will have a simple way to compile my programs without having to worry about setting up all the new include paths.

It is a very simple design, and I figure it will be done fairly quickly.

Code written today:

145 lines of C

06102007 - Monocle Changes

I have decided to remove certain functions from Monocle version 1.0 in order to hopefully get a working product sooner.  One such option is the encryption system I had planned.

The plan was to make all data files capable of being encrypted, and the system would pretty much take care of encrypting/decrypting them by itself.  Unfortunately, that is a fair amount of work for me, and really is more of a fun thing then a usable option.  Not saying it won't be there eventually, but not for now.

It doesn't help that the test web-server I am using seems to randomly decide which files I can and can't download.  I can upload everything just fine, but some come back 404 when I try to download them.  I'm really not sure what to think there.  It's a friend's web hosting account he said I could use.  I may just switch over to using Apache, since it is already installed.

Still working on updater for now.  The defaults are there, but there is a long way to go.

Projects

Since I have this new blog, I may want to speak a bit about my current projects.  Thing is, before I got this blog, I already did a bit of a write up on my personal blog.  It can be found here

Personal blog

From now on of course, all data will be here.  There is not a ton else going on, just some side projects when I feel like it.

Welcome to the official Kain Research blog

I decided to separate my Kain Research blog from my personal blog, so here goes.  From now on all Kain Research posts and progress data will be found here.

I am working on Monocle still.  Logger is working, net installer is working.  Not much else is functioning, but the current project is the updater.

Progress will be posted here when it's made.
