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.

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!

RazorIRC dun dun dun….

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.

The edge is on!

Yes the codename for RazorIRC still lives on, it’s code/internal name is and always will be “Edge”.

So, now that we’re talking on the Edge it’s about time I tell you some of the internal details.

The way I’m developing Edge is the stand point that I want to keep everything as separate as possible as to keep the code portable, this isn’t going to be an easy task since the initial versions will have code all withing one project, but to help with this I’m using the beauty that is namespaces and classes.  RazorIRC will be made up of multiple namespaces that all start out as edgeSomething.

So it’ll breakdown something like this:

  • edgeMacUI – This is the Mac OS X UI for RazorIRC, this houses all the Mac specific code.
  • edgeMobile – This holds the iPhone OS specific code.
  • edgeIRC – This is out IRC (RFC 1459) implementation.  This will actually be an open source framework released under a modified MIT License.
  • edgeChat – This is the mother of all frameworks, this is our in-house chat protocol, well half of it anyways, it’s just the client implementation.
  • edgeAddon – This is the addon framework.

Also the initial versions of RazorIRC will be free, they will be free but not open source.

Zooom!

So… Everyone please update your bookmarks as the final steps have been taken to phase out the RazorIRC.info domain.

I’ve started to work on the iPhone version of RazorIRC already, this will be done before the Mac client.
The iPhone will have two versions a Paid for version and a free version (though the free version you could possibly in in app purchases to gain the full functionality).

The RazorIRC website will be launching this next weekend

The iPad version (yes I’ve just said it…) will not be free however and it will be in higher price bracket (nothing over the top, just higher, say $10-20 dollar’s US).  Though the iPad version will probably only get the go ahead if the iPhone version does decently.

Objective-C is really growing on me though, it oddly makes more sense to me then C++ :S.

Now onto the personal stuff…

Yup I fell for her, very hard…  But I’m not acting any differently around her then I normally do so all’s good.

Now just to find a way for her to change her mind on the age gap thing.
