This is just a quick update to let everyone know that I have added the auto perform code into Kon. This post will be a short explanation of how it works so that when the version is released you’ll know how to do it.

Right now the commands will be read from perform.kon which is a plain text file that can be opened in any plain text editor (notepad works fine for it). The commands that are recognized for the auto perform are: JOIN, SAY, MSG and WAIT.

JOIN – Joins a channel
SAY and MSG both work the same way here and lets you have the bot send a message to someone or say something to a channel when the bot joins the server.
WAIT – This command causes the bot to pause for a few seconds inbetween commands. Use this if you have a lot of commands set in the auto perform so that the bot doesn’t flood the server and get booted off.

So what you’ll do is open kon.perform in your favorite plain text editor and add a command one to a line. For example:

JOIN #KonBot
MSG NICKSERV identify mypassword
WAIT
SAY #KonBot hello all my peeps!

And then save it. When the bot is run the next time, it’ll automatically do all of those commands. I’ll include a perform.kon.example file that will basically show exactly that in case you forget.

I’m not sure when I’ll release this update. I want to test it a little while longer and make sure there’s no issues with it before I do. But I’m sure it’ll be soon. :)

I sat down and decided to try and hammer out a better version of Kon Offline and I’m almost done with it. So far I have eliminated the lag that was present when you typed and hit enter to when it appeared in the chat box, added some basic colors for the chat window (to make it look more like an old-school IM program), added a logger so that conversations can be logged, and added a config file so that various settings can be saved.

This version will be uploaded in a few days after I do some more testing to ensure everything is working right. Until then, be patient. :)

I’ve made a few minor changes to the website here. First you might notice that the “writing” section is no longer under the project section. This is pretty much due to the fact that this layout has a minor glitch if your pages go too many steps under one another. Unfortunately the novels section is too many steps and made it pretty much inaccessible.

Second, the reviews is also standing alone now on the main menu bar. Why? Well, why not?

Third, About the Site was updated to show a picture of the previous layout.

And finally, I added a page for my FFXI Blog. Right now it just contains a link to the blog but in the future I am considering adding some content here to this site for it.

Hey everyone! As you can probably tell I’ve gone and changed the website look again. I’m still working on some parts of it, such as the featured content, but hopefully it’ll be done soon.

In the meantime, I went ahead and added a new picture gallery: Pictures of Bri & I. I also added a few pictures to the 2010 gallery. Hooray!

And that’s it for this quick update!

If you are reading this message then it means that my site is now on its own domain and has been converted successfully!

I have been working on websites on and off again for about twelve years now.  I figured it was finally time to buckle down and get an actual domain host for my site.  It makes life a little easier (as I don’t have to constantly hop between free hosts) and it gives me a lot more (creative?) control over everything.

Take, for instance, the message board.  I have set up a new phpbb3 board here on this domain and I welcome everyone to join it.  You can find it at http://iyouboushi.com/forum Easy, right?  Yeah.  And I have full control over it completely unlike the last board I was using!   Very cool.

Anyway, hopefully everything has converted over from hostoi correctly.  If not, leave a comment and I’ll get to fixing it.
