Jolt Blog 1.6 Official Release
For quite some time now there has been a few minor errors and mistakes on some parts of Jolt Blog, and I've been quite lazy and have never got around
to fixing them. Well I have finally got around to actually fix them. This is the point of this whole update, I did fix some messy coding in a few parts
in the adminstrator control panel.
With this update, I present to you a debate, officially ending maintenance on Jolt Blog. I first began Jolt Blog for an easy solution for simple
features you'd want in a small blog software, and I think I've accomplished just that. There's many things I've never finished on Jolt Blog that
I'd like to such as the help documentation integrated into the script, a possible built-in web template creation tool to let users build their blog
the way they want 100%. These things just will not be accomplished because I am... lazy when it comes to doing this. I am surprised I got this far
in development with my lazyness. I'm not saying I am ending updates on it now, but just let me know what you think. Another thing, I built this for
actually a project... a test to see of my abilities when I began PHP. All for now, download the update :).
Few updates...
You may or may not have noticed, I released a new theme for Jolt Blog, called substantial. Download it, here. There's a small guide on how to add it to your current installation of Jolt Blog. I also ended support for Jolt Board (it never came out of beta stages) so it will no longer be updated or on the projects page. Oh and fixed an edit on my contact page, it is also very early so I am gonna try to sleep, all for now.
Domain Name Checker Broken
You may or may not have noticed, but if you navigate to my domain name checker webpage you will notice it is blank. The cause of it I currently do not know, but it is broken. I don't have the time now to write up a new one, but I will look at it some time when I get a chance to see if I can fix it, it may be simple with a server that is no longer online, so if it was being used on your website it may not work anymore. I will keep you tuned.
Jolt Blog Fixes
Today I have did a bunch of fixes on Jolt Blog, such as...
- Fixed copyrights on administrator control panel
- Fixed top banner in administrator control panel
- Cleaned up messy functions in administrator control
As you can see most of it is in the adminstrator control panel, download the fixes here. Hope you like it, eventually I'll make a form where you can submit your ideas, suggestions and report bugs (because there is probably a bunch).
In the next update (or version) I plan to allow blog owners edit blog name from template settings (now you must go into configuration file) because you may want to change it after installation (where it's set at first). All for now.
Fixed IE problem
Well, quite honestly I looked for easy ways out of this problem. Such as browser fixes,
if($browser == "msie") (
echo "Get new browser";
}
else {
echo "";
}
Tell them get a new browser which most users anymore use Internet Explorer. The fix was sort of simple I just moved the visitors online text from a blank white-background to above the vazzer.net logo and it's all fixed, cross-browser yet again.
IE Problem
Up until today, I thought my website template was cross-browser compliant, meaning it was the same in every browser (if not the same at least it looked fine). Until I load up Internet Explorer 8 and navigate to my website and notice the menu is going DOWN. I was shocked, but this is an issue because IE (any version) reads my cascade style sheets incorrectly and therefore makes it go down.
Usually this means in my cascade I have "center" somewhere near [display] or [text-align]
but I couldn't find it to fix it. So if you're browsing to this website from IE just hover
your mouse below the main button and you will see the other various pages, if you
really want a permanent fix Google Chrome is a much faster, smaller and more secure web
browser than IE is. Get it here.
Mother's Day
Yes, this post is a bit late but I got it done. Happy Mother's Day everybody. I hope all the mothers out there are always treated with
respect and got the gifts they wanted from their children. I got the domain VImage.co.nr for the image hosting script,
V Image, that I created. Anyways, fixing up a few errors on Web Mirror, planning to release a new version eventually, ideas it may have are
- Feature template design (almost done)
- Administrator control panel (to do)
- Log files (done)
- Restriction access (done)
- User/Password requirement (done)
This is all I have done so far, all for now.
My Birthday!!
Hello all, the date is April 27th, 2010. Fifteen years ago April 27th, 1995... I was born. In General Hospital in Pennsylvania. Honestly I don't know how much I weighed or whatever... just that I know is it's my birthday today! Yes... I am fifteen today. Just to let you all know.
Thanks for staying updated with my website all of you.
V Image 0.3 Released!
As you can tell on the V Image page, and the projects page the next update on V Image would be on April 21st, 2010. Wow, I was actually accurate on that. I'm releasing V Image 0.3 today, with a design, and a new way of uploading the image (so you do not have to put the form on the uploaded page). You really will find no use of some of the variables in the configuration file, but two or three are major and must be there. Anyways, view the live demo here and download it here.
Random quotes
To the left, above the small About Me section will be random quotes, I only have about 10, my cousin's website inspired me to do this for awhile, and I got around to do it. Anyways, going to eventually make an official V image website to be completely publicized with a design, have to work on that though. Nothing for now, working on Jolt Blog, none of the immediate updates will be released, just see the changes in effect at this demo.
Order form for GSP
Today, off from school I worked on an order form for a game server provider. I used to run, Optical-Servers but it ended due to financial reasons and I helped run CheapGameServers for a while. Well to be honest, I'd love to start one back up, just need some money for a dedicated server. Anyways, my friend recently started one and has no order form, so I decided to make this, view it here. Oh, as always, it's open source and available for download here. All for now.
V Image released
I released V Image, a small and compact image hosting script written in all PHP. It's current version is 0.1. It currently, has an upload form, uploads it, gives you HTML code, BBcode for forums, and also direct link to the image. It's able to be put on ANY template. View the project page, here and the live demo here. Download it here. All for now.
Moved navigation
I took the logo and put it directly on the top, and moved the navigation under that. I believe that looks a lot better and I like it. Hopefully it's easier to navigate as well. It works so far.
Fixed Website
My website has been down for about 2-3 days. It's because I had my VPS moved from Los Angeles, CA to Chicago, IL. Closer, and lower ping for me when I host gameservers for Counter-Strike: Source. Along with the VPS change, got a new IP address and then basically had to update my DNS, but had it set incorrectly in Kloxo so fixed that yesterday and the website is back up. Not many updates, will fix a bug I saw in Jolt Blog when I get a chance, nothing major.
Fast update
Web Mirror has been getting a lot of usage. That's good, one thing I noticed if you goto a website
the text I have, where it says "This is a demo, etc etc" shows up infront of the page, I've fixed this. I've also just added the Win32/Mebroot remover (see post below) to the Tools for Download page. Thanks.
Oh and look at the top of the page design, you'll see a marquee, with my recent update. I may get rid of it, it's bleh.
Win32/Mebroot trojan
This trojan is a hassle to get rid of. This trojan records passwords, and other sensitive information, can download files without YOUR permission and can control your computer remotely. It
sends all information it has gathered to a remote computer, basically the master of this trojan.
There is a way to get rid of it, and this removal tool DOES work. Please download it here. It has been tested, and works efficiently. It will
notify you if you have it or not. It's still good to download it and look, it was developed
by ESET security technology which is a good and protective
security software.
I was just browsing the internet and heard this was a pretty bad trojan and some people
did not know how to remove it. So this tool will help them.
New CSS script developed!
I made a script for my Counter-Strike: Source clan, JBG. Visit there website: here.
It's a script if somebody enters your server with the name "unnamed" or "Player" it will be changed to
"i need a new name". Those CVars can be modified if you read it, I included the source on the download,
you can compile at SourceMod.com. You can download it on my Game Modifications
page.
I'll soon be developing an anti-lag server protection script.... this will be developed strong to prevent
many attacks, and I will release it once finished.
Wanna talk, need help, whatever...
I added my AIM screen name to contact page, it is "dj7639". The name was, DJ is my nickname for David John, and my favorite number at the time was 7, and 6+3=9 ... anyways, I usually have PC on most-of-the time so you can message me if you wanna just chat, or need help with my script, or coding, I'd be willing to help. Thanks, just figured I'd make an update!
Working on Jolt Board 0.2
Today I began developing Jolt Board 0.2. I thought I was ready to release it for beta, I setup the site with the download until I tried to upload it to my website, until I found this SQL frontpage vulnerability, now it is on halt because I still don't know how to fix it. I'll get around to it, also Jolt Board 0.1 was taken offline, it's the reason I started 0.2 in the fist place, it's really undevloped and full of bugs I just didn't like it. Anyways, all for now, fixed some errors on my part on the website, thanks for visiting.
Fixing and changing a bit.
Okay, did not update in like, almost in a month. I am gonna change up my website, to be like an easy
to download my projects if you ever needed them. I'm going to try to work on a PHP-based game, who knows, just a little
hint that I may. Removed tools page, nobody uses it, the two most used things were the domain name checker
and the web mirror, you can access both on the left-side bar menu, and download them both on this page.
Also, to my surpise, my contact page was not working....and I fixed it, so if you tried to contact me between February 1st, 2010 and
March 10th, 2010 I DID NOT GET IT, and you should resend it, if you'd like. Also, the date was messed up on bottom post because I moved
servers, and I need to fix some MySQL syntax thing in my blog software. Anyways, all for now, I will be fixing ugly text, spelling errors,
any type of errors I do not like, Jolt Stats demo coming up SOON.
Moved back to my server
Moved all my files to my server again, and hoping for a better second-go. I will now keep updated backups. I am also going to use a fallback server backup option. Anyways, all for now. I really want to get a new design, maybe more blog related and just take down my Tools page. I really just want to focus on more better topics, scripts I wrote, etc. Anyways, this won't happen for awhile, besides I am lazy. Ok. Enough for now.
Nik.Im URL Shortening
My friend, Ben Paster, developed an URL shortening service called Nik.Im and I am encouraging my visitors to use it if you have any URLs you may want to be shortened. It's a cool service which has a facebook API and I believe a twitter API which is being developed, refer to my post here about it being developed. All for now.
Happy Valentines Day!
Happy Valentines Day everybody. Haven't updated in about 2 weeks so I figured today would be the greatest day too. I'm going to be working on a new script that can do something useful once I find the idea. I am going to be working on a website for a friend, I figured if anybody wanted a design done for a website use the contact page and if I can do it I'll respond. Have a good Valentines Day!
New twitter API under construction!
My good friend, Ben Paster has created a new, and very
easy to use serviced called Nik.im. It shortens long urls, such as
instead of http://www.freewebs.com/xxmysitexx you would get http://nik.im/5216. It's
under construction and I wanted to help him out by working on a twitter API that would
post to the users twitter account after they shortened an URL so all their followers can see.
It's under construction, but visit this page and you can test the beta
stages of this twitter API. It will post to the VazzerNet
twitter account which I just made. It'll be worked on in due time. Test it out!
New script released, Web Mirror.
Well, a day after my website's back online I thought I'd release my web mirror script. Web Mirror is a PHP/cURL script requires no MySQL and works as if it was a proxy. It's a small script only 27 KB in size. You can view the demo here it will be added to my Projects, Tools for Download, and Programming Downloads pages. It'll be a tool on the website, view my tools here, and so it'll be up for download, and it's a project since I will be trying to expand it and work on it to make it more efficient and better. All for now, I am thinking of ideas to release, have one and may try to make a beta by tonight or tomorrow, stay tuned.
GREAT PROBLEMS!!!!!!!!
Alright. Biggest problem of them all. I had not been saving my updates on Vazzer.net, and look at the post
below, it's October 10th. That's the last update I saved. It's a huge problem, my server host
had corrupted data, and the FSCK recovery scan did not recover any data. So Now I'm back to this.
To the left the twitter image is back, and I think I'm gonna remove it once I become not so lazy again. It's
really sad, I'm glad everything else is fine, just like 5 updates are gone. But, it's not the worst. I mean
it's fixable somehow, no important updates. So yeah, Kloxo isn't working
properly on my server, so yeah.
That's all, good downloads for Jolt Blog, 2,167. One bad
thing is, lost the /joltblog page and the demo, have to get them back up soon. All for now, thank you, and
X10Hosting.com hosts my server, good host, just one problem.
Oh, also, Gallery is indefinitely gone forever. I had found this backup but deleted the older one and did not realize it
had gallery in it so I lost it, all my coding for it is gone and I am just far too lazy anymore to even regather them
images and code them again. Sorry! All photos had at least 75 views.
Want to run a blog using Jolt Blog?
Have you ever wanted to run a blog using my Jolt Blog software but didn't have the website, or
know how to set it up? Well today a new service was launched called Host My Blog. You can visit it at
hostmyblog.co.cc where you may request a free Jolt Blog blog,
or a Jara blog, but I'd be happier if you'd use mine, but Jara is really good too, and smaller. They're
both easy to use and NOT bloated like WordPress. So go ahead over today and request your own free blog,
and use the voucher code "vazzer25" to get a free Jolt Blog ultimate plan which would require 30
posts, all for free. It's an extremely good website. This is a great opportunity to get a free blog
hostmyblog.co.cc visit it today!
Other than that awesome update, not much.... the site is running good, getting more and more visits and
more and more downloads. So far I'm happy, and this weekend is 4 days long.. friday to monday due to some
holiday.. COLUMBUS DAY. You may not celebrate it in other countries other than the United States. Well,
oh well I'm still happy, no school.
SCHOOL BUS
Hey whats up. Good morning everybody. Sitting here waiting for my bus. We heard it got into an accident and they should be sending a new bus soon. But since I have a few extra minutes I thought I'd let you know about the Left 4 Dead hunter skin I made. It's in Downloads, then Game Modifications. Visit the page here. That's all. Still waiting / watching the people at my bus stop get rained on.
My server... and problems (again)
Well, many of you yesterday may have tried to visit my website and either saw that it was not
responding, or saw my temporary page I put up with a temporary host. It was due to my operating system
on my server, CentOS had a faulty bug.. and I had to reinstall it. It could have been fixed in mere
minutes, but I wanted to test out a few other operating systems. I went through, Fedora, SuSe, Ubuntu 8.04 and
9.04, and even went through FreeBSD. So you know, SuSe - Fedora and Ubuntu desktops are ALL the same just differently
designed. It was a ripoff.
I tried them all because I needed an operating system which Wine could run on. Wine wasn't loading up properly on
my CentOS operating system. But I couldn't run Wine on any of the others because they would take up so much memory
after I got everything going it would just crash. Anyways, I transferred my domain incase I found one I liked,
I wouldn't have Kloxo [which comes with CentOS] which is like a nameserver handler, to setup my domain properly.
And instead of installing BIND which I heard takes over an hour and is extremely difficult, I decided to stick
with some free host (FreeWha.com). But now I'm back with CentOS Host in a Box,
and I will try to install Wine and see if I can run it... it may be done due to my low memory 356 MB, I should
upgrade this month.. I'll decide. All for now, everything should be back online... if not contact me.
Also, I added a new program.. it was developed in Visual Basic 6, I developed it today after something over
a Ventrilo Server... won't get into details. But it works pretty well. The program is called "Temperature Converter."
It's a little nifty program that converts Fahrenheit to Celsius and vice versa. Download it
at this page.
FREE DOMAIN CONTEST!
You all remember my last free domain contest, when I had my older design, and I had forums installed for it. The winners were MadLock and pad who both won a .COM, .NET or .ORG for free. Well, I have been wanting to start up a new one, and I think I will. I do not know what it will be around yet, but it will be challenging. Just stay tuned for the FREE domain contest. I should be able to have an idea and have it up and running by October 7th, 2009. That's all for now. It will probably include my blog software Jolt Blog (hint).
Updates | Jolt Blog 1.5.1
Hello everybody. Well, I havent updated in about a week, a little longer. I just thought I'd update. I did however fix my Jolt Blog 1.5 update, where it now uses the advanced editor in all sorts of uses. It should be fixed and you can redownload it and just replace the "adm" folder for the patch. It's now called Jolt Blog 1.5.1 as the current version. Anyways, that idle war (see post below) is still going on, everybody besides myself, Dave, and uhm Kush... are still in it. Visit idlewar.co.nr for the full stats. All for now, will update soon.
My server | Jolt Blog 1.5 Release
Good afternoon everybody. If you read my below post you'll notice my VPS server was not working with KDE a desktop
environment for VNCing to my server. Well, yesterday in the morning was the day of the idle war, so I went on and
reinstalled my VPS and then began installing KDE. I got it working and using not much memory. I went and downloaded
Pidgin for CentOS and got it working too. So now I am in the idle war, lol and not using much memory at all.
More news, Jolt Blog 1.5 is now released! I fixed some minor bugs and what not, and implemented a much more advanced
text editor which no longer requires HTML to format your posts. I'm still working out the bugs in the new editor
such as when you edit a post it goes back to the old and dull editor, but I'll fix this and update the download. Visit
the Jolt Blog page here.
That's all for now, and I am posting because I am sick (SWINE FLU??) and I stayed home from school. Will update in a few days,
or sooner if anything comes up.
EDIT: Regards to the idle war, it's being held on AOL Instant Messenger in chatroom "aids"... lol come in, you may
get banned I don't know up to the room owner. And the stats are being held at idlewar.co.nr.
My server... and problems
Well, I was attempting to install KDE... K Desktop Environment so I may VNC to my VPS server. Well firstly I installed it properly, and messed up so I had two VNC servers. It was working, with Mozilla Firefox. Well, my VPS server doesn't have much memory at all, only 198 MB of memory and 354 MB for a temporary boost... maybe a few minutes. It was using 300 MB and kept continously taking it all. I was trying to set it up for an idle war I will be in in a few days, the 20th. Well, I kept trying and when I got it, vazzer.net went down, then I restarted my VPS server and vazzer.net would work, and not the VNC. This explains why my website was down for this while. I have a few days and will try to get it working properly... firefox takes up all of my space I'll have to look into reducing it. All for now, I am gonna do some maintenace on the site right now fix some errors I saw.
Updates
Have not updated in over a week, sorry. Schools back and I am more outgoing with friends now and
I don't have much time for Vazzer.net but I won't give up on it yet. Well, I do get some developments
done. I made a separate little page for Jolt Blog... may purchase a domain soon enough if it keeps
its popularity up. Visit the webpage at http://vazzer.net/joltblog.
Also since the new NFL season is here, we usually have an NFL website around my area, locals who know
each other to vote who will win. No money, friendly competition. So, I took my NFL script that was
developed when I first began PHP coding, it did minimal... grabbed scores and showed them in an array
and that is it. After a lot of work and over 5 hours of non-stop development, I got a lot done on the
new version. It was up to my cousin and I to develop it with only about 3 days until the first NFL
game [today]. So I did do development on most of it, but it's on my cousins servers and he helped with
the lines, the real real hard part I would not figure out.
EDIT: I edited my original post today because I guess the NFL website hosted
on my cousins website is for locals only, but if you want I do have an official site hosted,
visit this page. It's running good. Will update in a few days.
School starting..
Well, right now I am waiting for my bus which is coming at 7:10 - 7:15 A.M. Today marks the beginning of school, somehow I am nervous... errrr I don't know. But I must keep my grades up if I would like to continue to be able to update Vazzer.net, my scripts/projects and play Left4Dead... my favorite game. So, I will update when I get home... glad to see all my friends again. I just heard somebody laughing outside my door where the bustop is.... uh oh. Well that's all, I'll update when I get home. Have a good day everybody.
New stuff.. lol
Since today I was on Internet Explorer, I noticed a huge problem with my last template. It was
really disformed and what not. I had to quickly sprout to make up and get a new one online. This is it,
not the best... but a good substitution, and it works in all browsers. I believe it's here to stay for
a good amount of time. I also converted all text, like a professional.. it's like I had a program do it
for me. Well, my VPS server's running awesome... no downtime as of yet.
Surprisingly, I've had 5 attempts at a DDoS attack, LxGuard is doing a good job of banning them and protecting
me. People are just out to get my website down. I did notice a 30 second offline time due to it. Will be
looking into Cisco protection for it. Anyways, everything should be online. The gallery will have to wait
[again] unless I find the folder and upload it before I goto bed, probably not.
The demos of the two projects I am working on are offline. I should get around to putting them up in the morning.
Right now I am tired. And yes 2 days until school. I am very upset :(... it sucks badly!
Gosh Darnit!
My old VPS server I had went offline due to me no longer being with Jolt Host. The other owner with me was a bit bossy and I did not like it, so I deleted most of the stuff off the website and left. I should begin a new host soon. But now I have my new VPS server hosted by X10 Hosting. I have the X3 plan. They're really reliable and easy to use.
I am running CentOS Host-in-a-Box. I was firstly confused on how to get my domain off the default page, but somehow I was messing with Kloxo and got it. I now have my own IP address, it's 69.162.115.145. It's officially mine. I think I will be getting a VPS Server X5 plan from them for my new host, or use this server I've been looking at. Anyways, I haven't updated in a bit, and my last post said I would've updated a week ago.
Through this week, I went to Washignton D.C and Virigina. Visited the Arlignton National Cemetary, very sad. We saw the walls of WW2, Korea, and Vietnam... many people died.. real sad. We saw lincoln memorial, passed by the White House... but very far away, top security. We saw the Capitol building, visited a lot more memorials. Saw the Washignton monument, 500 feet.
In my last post I posted I had a Twitter, got a few followers since that.. thanks for following. I also updated Jolt Blog, me updating this post everything should be working again including them downloads. I estimate to make addons to the download section, possibly a separate section for each download, with a thumbnail of that item. I should fix it all soon.
School starts IN ONLY THREE DAYS. September 2nd, 2009. I am so sad. It's back ALREADY!!!!! I plan to not lose any updating time for my website, but I do plan keep it updated. I also added Jolt Board, it's in beta stages but works!
Updated JoltBlog and Gallery
First off, I updated Jolt Blog yesterday and the new update was recorded on the projects page, but me being so lazy I never made a post about it. You can find the change log (what was updated/fixed) on this page. Oh, and I made seperate pages for my projects, and may do that for my downloads (not sections) when I get a chance, it does seem a bit more organized than.
Anyways, today while working on Jolt Blog yet again, trying to fix this administrator login problem, it was fixed in the latest release but it still happens.... so I google searched "vazzer.net" in curiosity and opened the site [vazzer.net] in a new tab and saw "Vazzer.Net Estimated Worth $171.22". I went to it... the website was websiteoutlook.com and they estimated my website for that much. In surprise, I thought that was a lot. It was not updated in 53 days so I decided to update the data and now it is worth $781.01, take a look for yourself here. Also for some odd reason it did not record the Website Title or Description, which are defined by meta tags above. I don't know, may be a glitch in the system but it's worth a lot.
Then while on the website, I clicked GALLERY. To my surprise, there was no interface layout! Just a list of images! I had not even known about this when I moved hosts and now I come to see this is it. I fixed it now, and uploaded a few lolcatz pictures.
Will update on August 24th (according to below) but that is probably inaccurate, may be sooner or may be later.... because according to my last post {below} I was supposed to update four days ago, I am so late. Anyways, I'm gonna work on Jolt Blog and my C++ game.
All posts before August 20th, 2009 are not available due to changing of servers.
