my reality, you're escape

So..

What could this post be about?…

Well quantumRadio, by the end of the year, will cease to exist.  Thats right, it’s time to bring in Renegade Music to our family, quantumRadio will however stay up for archive purposes.  The main quantumRadio page will redirect to the Renegade Music site.

Now for the “Powered By…” part of this post.  Renegade will be powered by Crystal Engine along with Project Crystal (it’s not being referred to as Crystal ID for a reason.).

With the final release of Crystal Engine, which will be getting a new name, we will have a working draft of the Project Crystal ID API.  With this API you will be able to create login connectors for various platforms.  We will be working on a plug-in for WordPress shortly after the draft spec.

Now for a short little blip about the backwards step in the naming convention.

Project Crystal will be getting a public name within the next few months.

That is all for now.

No it’s not done yet. Not in either sense of being “done” either.

I’m working on two versions right now, one for Windows written in C# / .Net 4 and one for Mac OS X 10.6.4 written in Objective-C / Cocoa.

With writing it in C# I can use it on all platforms that support Mono, and it gives me the flexibility to use the core of RazorIRC to write a silverlight version for the web and Windows Phone 7 version, etc…

With writing it in ObjC it’s basically limited to two platforms iOS and Mac OS X.

But my primary goal when I first came up with the RazorIRC idea was to write a client for Windows, and it would be the spiritual successor to one of my older projects EvolvedIRC, which was an IRC client writen in VB6 / Winsock.

So it’s that time of year again, the time where I become a prick… Well more of then usual…

I hate February’s so much it isn’t funny, I can’t really explain why as I don’t know why.

Anyways she promised that we’d go out next month so it brightened this month up a bit. J

Work… Well I’m working in supplies for this month… so I’m on my own for the month, I kind of like it, gives me time to think and think a lot I do…  I started planning out stuff to do with her so I’m happy… But because I have this time to think a lot that one fucked up day of this month will bug me even more as it gets nearer…

Anyways enough of that…

I’m starting the design process of RazorIRC.com I’m also working on the backend now since I have a local web server set up on my MacBook now…  By either the end of this month or next there will be a limited beta of the websites user systems and storage systems.

Once we start rolling out the RazorIRC betas we’ll open the site up to the general public and also start implementing the billing systems, we’re probably going to be using PayPal for now.

There’s also going to be some major changes to the blog soon, I’m thinking of ditching WordPress and writing my own the ties into the backend network for quantumRadio (oh there I go mentioning that again) but that project is still under wraps

This backend is part of Project Crystal and you’ll be hearing about it soon, I don’t plan on releasing much details on this project though as it’s actually completely un-related to RazorIRC.com, quantumRadio and Escape From Reality and I want to keep it under wraps for as long as possible.  All I’m going to say is though it may have something to do with the business I start up soon

However I will shoot this information out about Project Crystal.  It has nothing to do with Crystal Engine (which actually doesn’t exist anymore.).  So if you were planning on asking that question don’t;
