My hobbyist coding updates and releases as the mysterious "Mr. Tines"

Janus v1.2

Firewall traversal proxy Janus v1.2. The updated (less CPU intensive) Pump.java class to ferry data back and forth through the application should be of equal use in my SOCKS classes that use some of the same code.

I suppose I really ought to get around to writing a Java SDK 1.4 version using the new I/O classes for even better performance.

Tines' Dice 1.1

v1.1 (supports Fvlminata). From the RPG page.

Blue Planet applet update

More tidying, with bug-fixing the XHTML and the Blue Planet applet (fixing UI problems and allowing for collisions between moons).

From the RPG page.

Geocities site cleanup

Purged release news and bug reports that have been superceded by later releases of various projects. Also purged other stale (a year or so old) news, and dusted off most of the other pages, deleting ones with well old bug-fix notes and the like.

See the wayback machine for more.

Tines' Dice 1.0

New freeware program, a PalmOS (3.5 or later) die rolling aid using the PLua runtime, details on the RPG page. You can roll pretty much any sort of dice (23d31, anyone?)

CTClib++ port

CTClib - I've decided that I'm not masochist enough to keep this as pure 'C', even though I could. The things you have to do emulate interface polymorphism are cumbersome, and just got in the way, especially when you don't want to have to separate out definition and declaration for a helper class internal to a single file.

The changes are currently limited to all of folders ctckey and ctcpka, plus ctc.c has become a ctc.cpp, and the version is currently pre-3.0 - how much more will change in the slow progress to v3.0 I'm not sure.

The current 'C' based interfaces will stay fixed, so the library will continue to be call-compatible with 2.x releases.

Angerona suspended

Might as well state that I'm as sure as I can be that the Angerona (Java 1.1/Swing port of CTClib) project is dead. If anyone wants to take it on, be my guest.
