I have been rewriting the AutoResponder code to be 100% PHP and not handle email submissions. This change lets me use a typical web page provider to handle the processing. I started this change a few years ago but didn’t get very far at that time. I decided…
Continue readingI don’t like writing a bad review. In fact, I don’t like writing reviews. But I just can’t let this go. No Man’s Sky is just broke. It’s a fine idea for a game and it looks pretty good on my PC. It’s even quite fun. But it’s…
Continue readingI have a new Beta test version of the Linkage program. This version has an okay link triangle handling feature as well as a few connector alignment tweaks. it also has a way of selecting links and connectors by name or identifier. It’s still all being tested by…
Continue readingI don’t think that I posted anything about designing a board game. My daughter and I have been playing lots of board games recently, maybe to be able to play together and not with a screen in front of us, and then one day I started creating a…
Continue readingI have a first draft working for the link triangle simulation. Like I said recently, I am opting to support the most common type of link triangle configuration and ignoring all others. Here are videos of the two variations of supported link triangles: What I did on this…

Continue readingI got my new code singing certificate and I fixed a few minor bugs. Super short dimension lines were becoming infinite due to the space calculated for the arrow heads. There was also a problem with gear and link rotation angles that went wrong after about two rotations…
Continue readingI have a plan. It’s not a very good plan, but it is a plan. The mechanism above presents a problem that I have written about a few times in the past. The EGJ triangle is what I call a “link triangle.” It is a set of links…
Continue readingFYI, I was able to easily install Windows 10 running in a virtual machine on my MacBook Pro. I got a trial copy of Parallels and it handled the Windows 10 installation seamlessly. I already had a Windows 10 product key so it was free (so far). And…
Continue readingSomehow, I missed that my code signing certificate was about to expire. And Symantec needs me to do the whole notarized identification thing to renew it. This means that I can’t produce a new Linkage program with a bug fix that I wanted to distribute, at least not…
