NextHub development ceased

I’ve finally decided to make it official. If you view the NextHub SourceForge project page, you’ll find that it now states the following:

As of 2010-01-21 18:00:00 CST, this project is no longer under active development.

That’s right: NextHub development is indefinitely suspended. Neither Andy nor I have had time to work on it [...]

More on the Digsby SA emoticon pack, NextHub news

I wrote my own packaging solution in Python for the Digsby SA emoticon package that I’ve been maintaining.  I was previously downloading the Gaim SA emote package from the SA emoticon pack site and modifying it manually to fit Digsby, but it didn’t seem right.  For some reason, the package has way more emoticons [...]

NextHub and Base32

I’ve actually had some time the last few days to work on NextHub.  I’m fixing some bugs, making semantic changes, performance improvements, and I’ll be adding some new UI features and making sure that the features we currently have in place are working properly.

Today, I decided to tackle a base32 problem we were [...]

It’s been a while

Well, I thought I’d post to say that the new WordPress 2.5 is really neat. The admin dashboard is excellent, and I quite like the changes they’ve made. If you’ve got a site that runs on WordPress and you haven’t upgraded yet, take 5 mins out of your day to do so.

I’ve been [...]

ADC Protocol is now released!

I just thought I’d pop in to mention that the ADC Protocol is no longer in beta. Version 1.0 was posted 12/2, and that’s really exciting. Yay!

I’ve resumed work on NextHub

After taking a break from the project over the last several months, I’ve resumed working some on NextHub (I really like that name ). I’ve reorganized the layout of the files under Subversion, and I’ve fixed a few irritating bugs. I want to fix a few more things that we’ve broken along the way, [...]

New name…again!

Our 6 month waiting period is up! After accidentally changing the name of FHub to SexHub, we have yet again changed the name to NextHub. It rhymes, and I think it embodies what we think of the project. It provides the Next generation implementation of the ever popular Direct Connect file-transfer protocol, the ADC [...]

There are releases!

Andy’s done a fantastic job working on FHub (SexHub) recently. This is quite possibly the busiest I’ve ever been before. I’m in the process of applying to grad school, taking the hardest semester I’ve ever taken here at UT, and working 15 hours a week on top of that. It’s not easy, and I [...]

Well, I guess I’m a liar

Progress on FHub has gone slower than expected due to work and more work. I’ve been working on some pretty serious web work outside of my normal 9-5, and there’s a lot that goes into it. Two of my roommates and I are doing all the back-end and database design from scratch (using JSP/servlets), [...]

Preparing for the first release….and big oops!

Andy and I are working really hard to get a first release out (0.1.0 alpha) this week. We hope for tomorrow or Thursday. Andy’s worked really hard at getting Lua-based plugins working, and it’s looking great. What we’ve done makes FHub incredibly extendable and powerful, yet uniquely simple among its direct connect hubs brethren. [...]
