A little house cleaning.

Renegade Music

No, I haven’t forgotten about my latest project, there has been more delays so I’m not setting an official launch date this time.

quantumRadio

I’m working on a redesign here, but Renegade Music comes first :P

RazorIRC

So, I’ve started working on RazorIRC again, but on the Windows side first.  I’ve come up with a few UI concepts and I’m simplifying the direction a little bit.

We are not gonna have any add on system or plugin architecture right off the bat.  We’re just going to have a barebones IRC client, we will however in the future be adding these features.

Oh Noes theres been some Delays!

So, there have been some delays with the development of Crystal Engine for use with Renegade Music.  So I’m going to be temporarily using CodeIgnighter to write the backend, hopefully by the end of the year the site will have smoothly transitioned to Crystal.  This has meant that Renegade Music’s official launch has been pushed back to July 1st, 2011 (Canada Day).  The irony to all this is I seem to have a weird attachment to launching sites on that day.

Crystal ID has also been delayed, but with how we are setting up the current database everything will move over smoothly, the only thing is once Crystal ID goes live and the transition is completed you will have to update your user information.

quantumRadio will also be using the Crystal ID unified login once the transition is complete.

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.

The goodies!

So, I’ve decided that I’m going to move back to my own code base for qR, and to kick this change off I’ve created the “Network Bar” for the “Crystal” line of sites, this includes this blog.

By the way, “Crystal” is the codename for the site network internally, I haven’t finalized the naming yet as it will require a domain name and some “other” facets to take off.  The sites will use a unified login system, that means you can register on eg. RazorIRC.com and login with that same username and password on quantumRadio or future projects.  You will also be able to link your twitter and facebook accounts with your Crystal login.

And that basically what is Project Crystal is.

The Project Crystal page will be updated later this weekend with the official logo.

More information will be posted later this weekend, stay tuned!

Here we go!

Man all my titles are random…

Anyways, lets get to it.

I haven’t posted in awhile cause I’ve been busy with work and life.  I’ve met someone and I’m planning on making a move real soon, this time I’m not limiting myself for any reason, it’s all about me being happy first and the other second.

I’ll post about this new girl some other time… Now the biz!

RazorIRC, nope haven’t worked on it yet, waiting on my  books to arrive for Mac OS X and iPhone programming.  I’m going to develop the two versions together and keep the main “chat” features of the app in the base framework (IRCCore or something like that).

The Licensing system is still in the planning stages but it will only affect the Mac OS X version of the app and not the iPhone version.

Oh yea nearly forgot this one important detail!

A new, yes I said New, session is in the mixing bowl, and will be headed to the oven soon!
