I have upgraded my shared hosting account to allow for 1GB of space, and 15GB of traffic a month.

As such, I am temporarily removing my external file mirrors from my download options – I should be able to handle all requests locally, however, should traffic pick up astronomically, I’ll put them back into place.

I’m still without a Mac – I sold my aging PowerBook and am in the process of purchasing a used iBook 933Mhz to do my development and day to day tasks.

As things are quite slow, I’ve done a few astetic changes to my software download page.

Oh, and I’m going to see Journey on Saturday. YEAH!

Further news as events warrant…

Today is a sad day. My current machine can no longer manage my existing code base for development and production – it’s taken me nearly three weeks to try to make a current build of MyPasswordSafe – which doesn’t work.

I’ve sold my old PowerBook, and am looking to obtain a new system upon which to develop existing software, and port current builds to MacOS X.

As it seems that supporting free software (free as in beer) doesn’t merit equipment, or even mirrors for software – it’ll be a few weeks until I get things back… and obtain a new system, if not a couple of months.

Thank you for your support and kind words.

[Edit: December 19th, 2004: I finally managed to save up, and obtain a used iBook. Development will continue shortly.]

The DOSBox team has been quite busy, and while it’s been little over a month since 0.62’s release, there’s quite a few new things in 0.63:

* File redirection added.

• Shell improvements.
• Fixed various crashes.
• Fixed programs complaining about too low FILES setting.
• Fixed some CPU/FPU instructions.
• Small dos changes and fixes
• Lot’s of additions to the internal debugger.
• Due to popular request, drive unmounting.
• CD-Rom and drive label improvements. *Wave and raw OPL writing improved.

  Sounds great, doesn’t it? Well, what are you waiting for?

We’ve finally reached the 1.0 milestone.

As Mosu so eloquently put it:

I’ve meant to release this for over a week now, but something always got in the way. But no longer :) After… – nearly one year and ten months after joining the Matroska team on 2003-01-14, – over one year and five months since the first public release on 2003-06-12, – writing more than 62000 lines of code, documentation and examples, – a LOT of bugs, – as many bug fixes, – way too many hours of coding, idling on IRC, writing mails and posts to various forums

... I’ve decided to call this release 1.0.

Thanks so much for your hard work, Mosu!

Here’s the MacOS X 10.3.x build.
