I already have 5 languages: Kwywa, Kjaytla, Celdonian, Miishish, and Tai. Some of those names should have funny characters (you know, characters with thingys on top of them like the e in cafe) but I can't insert those characters with this software.

( 2.9 / 495 )Hello again! I have not been working on Clan Keeper--sorry!--but have enjoyed making my text editor and doing linguistics stuff. For example, I can basically write anything in hieroglyphics now reasonably fast thanks to my handy hieroglyphic text editor JSesh. I am also designing a whole language--I'm not using my little cheat that I did with Firguese.
Also, my new free website host has allowed me to play with phpBB, MediaWiki, Joomla!, and all this other neat stuff that needs a database. If I ever learn PHP, I am so going to help out with writing good, flexible website apps that don't need any databases! Power to the text files!!

( 3 / 848 )I apologize that I have not been blogging...
Anyway, here I am in America, in a library with Internet and computers! Therefore I checked my forum for posts, did some stuff on my new website (more about that later), and discovered the awesome phpFormGenerator at SourceForge.
As for the new website: I started using my dad's old computer recently, and one day I was glancing without much interest at his links. Lo and behold, I found one named "Best Free Website Hosts". So I clicked on it and found out about ByetHost, a website host that will give you many subdomains at places like isgreat.org (so I can have something like ourforum.isgreat.org) with MySQL, PHP, and all that stuff! So naturally I signed up and checked it out, very suspicious that there was some dangerous catch.
There was a catch, but it was easily dealt with: the control panel for your sites is full of ads in the worst places, in your face, with popups, plus it was slow. But the website itself was definitely fast enough and worked perfectly. So hurray! I can have some great stuff like a seakitty site without having too long and funny a URL!!
I have also been very very very very very greatly enjoying my forum with a friend of mine. Why don't you sign up do and participate in the fun, if you're my friend?
See you later!!

( 3 / 858 )Hurray! I visited two girls a while ago and they are STILL posting stuff on my forums! It's awesome! I get to interact with them even while I'm away. I am definately going to send some more people emails about it once we're back in the Land of Fast Internet.
I have also put up the Clan Keeper site but for now I'm working on Alison Text, the world's simplest text editor. It has two distinguishing features: there are only three keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl-X, Ctrl-C, and Ctrl-V) and you can click on a menu item to switch the font between Times New Roman and Courier. My rewrite of it has been very satisfying. I have destroyed the unneeded variables lurking around to trip me up and have make a clean, simple text editor that works. It even shows a little asterisk on the title bar when there's been a change! Isn't that so professional?
My website also now has polls at www.peternoonan.net/Alison/polls. Go there and leave your opinion!
Anyway, I'm staying at the house of a friend with a boy and a girl. The boy is about my age and the girl is about Catherine's age. We love playing with their trains and bikes. Today we're going swimming!

( 2.9 / 811 )As the title says...Happy Thanksgiving!
I have made a grave decision that will affect all versions of Clan Keeper for years to come: No Databases. It will be so much easier on me for deployment and compatibility to use plain files. I'll be able to use Java Web Start! Hurray! Now if only I can figure out a good splash screen... Anyway, I'll create .clan files (it's funner when you can have your own file type) with Clan objects. Each Clan object has Vectors of warriors, apprentices, elders, kits, etc. For leaders, I'll have Leader, Deputy, and MedCat objects. Then I can use object input and output streams. Still not as neat as SQL and a database, but certainly not as messy as the second try at Clan Keeper, the failed version that used arrays. To me, this Clan Keeper is Clan Keeper 3, but to you guys its Clan Keeper 1!
Anyway I have a bunch of new ideas for other stuff to add for new versions. I can do prophecies, history, and maps for each clan, and a "History" and "Notes" section for cats. That will make it a lot easier for people to really get their brains going on their clans. I would like to be able to document such things myself!
Now if NetBeans will stop crashing and if the Start menu bar will stop acting funny, I can get working. See you at the downloads!
Speaking of downloads....(this entry is getting a bit long) I'm going to upload right after I'm done the updated main page section plus the Clan Keeper site. Clan Keeper site is the related link. There's forums and more for EVERYBODY! Hurray! Questions about Clan Keeper go there! See you!
