RE: Darth-Apple's not-so-personal blog - Darth-Apple - July 24th, 2013
I might do that actually. Nice suggestion.
RE: Darth-Apple's not-so-personal blog - simlink - July 24th, 2013
Good luck with it.
Sounds like a cool idea.Perhaps you could do Anchor CMS themes as well.
RE: Darth-Apple's not-so-personal blog - Darth-Apple - July 24th, 2013
I might consider it actually.
RE: Darth-Apple's not-so-personal blog - simlink - July 24th, 2013
Most excellent.
I've found a few I've considered using...
RE: Darth-Apple's not-so-personal blog - Darth-Apple - July 26th, 2013
Alright, it turns out anchor isn't compatible with nginx, and neither is fork CMS. The search continues...
Off that vein a little, I am now working on a new theme with a new color scheme. I hope to have previews soon.
RE: Darth-Apple's not-so-personal blog - simlink - July 26th, 2013
Looking forward to it.

In my inability to find a decent awards plugin, I decided I'd jump into the MyBB plugin coding world and create my own. I'm simply going to create a plugin that prints more than one usergroup image on the postbit. That will allow us to add badges here at Makestation for users.
It also of course gives me experience writing myBB plugins.

Great! I miss my stamp of blessings...
RE: Darth-Apple's not-so-personal blog - Darth-Apple - August 2nd, 2013
As soon as my little plugin is complete, it shall return.
RE: Darth-Apple's not-so-personal blog - Darth-Apple - August 2nd, 2013
Well I finally got the original plugin to install after fixing the faulty code, but it doesn't work at all. I guess I have no choice but to code my own haha.
RE: Darth-Apple's not-so-personal blog - Darth-Apple - August 3rd, 2013
I have officially written my first MYBB plugin, and it is in use here at Makestation. It simply displays the usergroup image of all usergroups that a user is a part of, instead of just one. It will allow us to assign as many badges as we want to users, and as you can see, the stamp of blessings has already gone out.
I have now designed both a myBB theme and a MyBB plugin.
RE: Darth-Apple's not-so-personal blog - Acko - August 3rd, 2013
I like it!
RE: Darth-Apple's not-so-personal blog - Darth-Apple - August 5th, 2013
Thanks!
Turns out the original plugin I was trying to install was an ancient plugin that was not compatible with our software. It had no info and the plugin did not have a compatibility tag, so myBB still attempted to install it anyway.
Either way, I might have a contribution to the MyBB mod community very soon. Might be very minor, but hey, it's a start haha!

I've decided I really need to improve my graphics design skills - so... I've decided I will start going through some tutorials @ http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/
I also plan on designing some new graphics for Makestation. It's much needed I think.

I just reinstalled both Windows and Linux on my PC to get rid of malware. It has definitely been a very busy time lately, but the past few weeks have been great, despite the emergency reinstall of Windows on my PC.
Hope to get back to coding this weekend.

Reviving a terribly old topic... man have things changed a lot in recent months for me.
Anyway, I was recently listening to some old music I had recorded years ago, and I'm a little surprised at some of my more youthful inspirations. Unfortunately, I lost the license to the recording software I had been using due to an old reinstall of Windows, and I'm not feeling like spending a good $250 on new software after expense after expense has already hit me in the past few months.
Anyone have any particular recommendations by any chance? I'm feeling inspired, but to be honest, I've forgotten pretty much everything I used to know about this stuff.

Ask MandelSoft on Simtropolis. He uses a good recording software, but I forget the name. It may be called FL Studio 11, but I'm not sure.

Any updates in the world of Darth-Apple?
