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!

( 3 / 680 )Hi! Yesterday I went to a house where there's a girl my age, and she also invited a friend of hers. So we played Chopsticks and Spoons (Spoons is the best card game ever for breaking the ice, by the way) and then we messed around on some DSs and a computer. So they've joined my forum (hurray!) and added a comment to my blog! Super hurray! Today we're going swimming (another hurray) and having lunch with grandparents and some of my cousins. This is going to be a GREAT day! Hurray! (I counted four hurrays
)The related link is to the website of one of those girls I was playing with. It's all about animals! She also has a website (like me!) about her imaginary world.

( 2.9 / 636 )Two forums so far look good and I don't know any other possibilities. One of them (Navboard) is currently trying to save settings. It doesn't look like it's succeeding. On the other hand, Navboard supposedly lets you not show their logo, which I would like! On yet another hand, I would much rather have a good, dependable forum with a logo that's not my logo than a buggy forum with my logo. Go figure!
Navboard is still trying to save settings...hurry up...

( 3 / 738 )I found a forum...a good one...one of those free versions of a commercial forum. So far its dependable. The only problem is that it shows the company's logo on the main forum page. Blah! I'm looking for a better one.
I hope to see you guys down there!
