my reality, you're escape

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.

It’s next week!   I never fail to provide

If you haven’t read the previous article then I suggest you do here.

This article will deal with whats going on with the websites, escape from reality (here), quantumRadio, RazorIRC.com, etc.

So here we go!

escape from reality

Yea, this is the first on the chopping block…

So what’s happening to my blog you may be wondering…  Well nothing really, I’m probably going to rename it by the end of the year and put it on it’s own domain.  I haven’t thought of a name yet, but since escapefromreality.tld is mostly taken I thought it might be a good idea

Okay that’s about it for escape from reality….  Next up….

quantumRadio

Well as you know I have stopped doing the sessions, there still up there but I no longer make any, and I very much doubt I ever will again.
So with that I’m changing quantumRadio’s focus and name.

Welcome Renegade Music, a site all about blogging Music and artist’s.  Right not I’m actually writing down all the plans for this.  I’ve already got a few people that I’m going to talk to about this, mostly what will happen is you’ll hear about independent music artists and groups, allot of punk and metal groups.  I’m the dance guy so I’m a bit out of place but this still will definitely be all about the music.

Now once Renegade Music goes live you might be wondering if we’ll transfer all of the content (sessions, old posts, etc.) over to the new Renegade Music site… well the answer is a big bold NO! Why you may be asking, it’s simple we don’t want to pollute the new image with the same old bullshit (yes I said it!)  that’s pretty much how qR died to begin with…

So what are you going to do then?  Keep quantumRadio active, yep you read right, I’m going to keep the quantumRadio domain (and not redirect it!) and just lock down the site so no new posts are made, what I’ll do is upload all the older versions, as well as the unreleased versions (so lets say you want to look at what V1 looked like, it’s be v1.quantumradio.net).  The current blog system that we are using on the qR site will not remain instead I’ll replace that with what qR V5 was originally going to look like (it was codenamed Pearl).

RazorIRC.com

It’s that time..

RazorIRC.com is a unique little bugger, by that I mean I have so many different systems to implement that I’ve never done. (eg. Payment system (it’s how paypal interacts with our site), Addon system (for RazorIRC, this will be the most complex thing that happens on the site I think), etc)

So, when’s it happening?!  Well the design will be happening real soon, once we get a logo designed, then I’ll start uploading the site piece by piece till it’s all there.

Okay I get all that but the payment system.  The payment system will be charged with billing the customer and generating there Software Key, this key will be a one time use key (:O oh I did son!), by that I mean it can only be used once, if you happen to reinstall at a later time you’ll have to browse to the website (or login on the client, I haven’t decided how this is going to work exactly yet…) and click something along the lines of “generate new key”.

I know how this will make some people feel but this is the best way that I see to prevent piracy of my app, I may go with just login on the razorirc client as a way to go about doing things since that would me buy once for supported platforms (besides iPhone, WinMo, etc)

Anyways I think I’m done with these two articles, if you have any questions of comments please feel free to drop one

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;
