An internet service outage took the site down from roughly 13:00 to 13:45 EST.

15 Feb 2006
Some site navigation updates have been made, hopefully making things a bit more organized.
Also, the forums are now embedded in the site, don't open in a new window, and follow the same basic theme/style of the site.

9 Feb 2006
TradeWars game server has been moved to my personal site. For a couple weeks or so, it will still run from the old address as well, but you should update your Telnet / game clients.

1 Feb 2006
I have added forums to the site. You can now discuss public applications, request support, etc.

25 Jan 2006
The web server has been upgraded, as well as the scripts that handle automatic generation of program information (Latest version, documentation and download links, etc). The scripts are now .NET. This went flawlessly, but an internet connection outage kept the site down all night.

24 Jan 2006
New support contact option: You can use Jabber/XMPP (or GoogleTalk) to reach us via the ID .

22 Jan 2006
Due to customer requests, NinjaTimer will be ported to the .NET Compact Framework for Windows Mobile 2003 devices, and the price will remain the same.

A few suggestions by users will also be implemented at this time. For a list of these changes, see the project page.

Of course, existing customers of Ninja Timer will be entitled to a free upgrade.

Well, what better time to switch to a new mail server machine, IP address, and software than New Years Eve, on a weekend where there won't be a single (sober) tech support person to be found in case of disaster?

Everything seems to have gone smoothly.

18 Dec 2005
The initial version of SuDoku is now available!

15 Dec 2005
Email server was down for several hours this morning, but is back up and running now.

15 Sep 2005
Currently developing a few graphical ActiveX controls for a separate project, which will include a Distribution Graph, Strip Chart, and a few others. These will be available once the otherproject is complete.

As mentioned some time ago, TWEdit is going to be open-sourced. Expect the full package to be available within the next week - executable and installer, as well as the source code.

12-2-2004
We're back to normal now, on the primary server.

11-2-2004
The Blue Ninja Software site will be partially inoperative until mid-December, as the site is now temporarily hosted on a machine that does not support all the custom extensions to link to the projects. The development PC that typically runs the server (and thus automatically delivers the latest downloads and documentation) is being used to do development work on a few special projects in Australia, and is located behind a firewall which prevents it from serving directly.

We apologize for any inconvenience - any questions or needs, contact us.

Several notable changes coming over the next week or two. As you can probably tell by the recent frequency (or lack thereof) of news updates on my public projects, I've been busy on a bunch of private projects. But I will be squeezing an hour or two here and there to do the following:
  • Cleaning up the site to remove outdated info.
  • Making several of my projects open-source, such as the web server and TWEdit.

1-29-2004
NinjaTimer has been submitted to TUCOWS, and a link will be made available when it's reviewed and accepted.

1-19-2004
I've finally fulfilled a long-time promise to a long-time friend of mine and set up a TradeWars game server. Details here.

Also, I've re-packaged TWEdit, and updated the old beta expiration date.


1-14-2004
All PocketPC Apps will now also be featured on Pocket PC City, though they do not provide direct purchasing and registration capabilities.

1-6-2004
Ninja Timer (and future PocketPC apps) now also available on PocketGear as well.

1-4-2004
The latest version (1.5 Build 4) of Ninja Timer (Formerly just Timer) has been posted on the Handango site. It now enables full use of all features for a 30-day trial period, rather than only some features. It also has a bug fix, and a few internal changes.

10-30-2003
Latest project: The as-yet-unnamed project codename "KIT" (Keep In Touch) is well underway. Unlike most of the utilities on here written specifically for myself and then made available to others, this will be one of the applications designed specifically for wide use. See it's link for details...

10-2-2003
Finally got around to updating the ProjectViewer plugin to this webserver. ProjectViewer is the handy plugin that dynamically generates all of the pages of this site pertaining to specific projects. It shows the title, description, any optional comments, development and release versions, and provides links to online documentation (if available) and the download .zip file (if available).

Also threw a simple navigation tree over on the left side, so everything is always one click away. "F" for style, perhaps, but "A" for efficiency! :-)


9-5-2003
Redesigning site layout, updating projects, etc. I sure wish I was a web designer.

Also adding several new projects, and posting several old ones. A new GUI for the Shredder library (now packaged separately or with the GUI interface) will be posted soon also, with better Recycle Bin support and a nicer interface.


7-19-2003
XM Assistant is being sent to XM for evaluation. Further details soon...

7-9-2003
XM Assistant is nearly complete, including documentation. The details are no longer available for general viewing on this site, since it has come to my attention that it may reveal proprietary information.

6-18-2003
Many changes and enhancements are being implemented in XM Assistant, including automatic PMI processing and a better (I think) organized display readout system.
 
6-11-2003

I have posted more information on XM Assistant, a helpful tool for XM repeater service technicians.

The latest builds of MailServer and WebServer have been posted, primarily for client evaluation. They're still in Beta testing, but feel free to try them and give me any feedback.
