PJIRC

News items

• Looking for help again.

  Okay this project is now going into a bugfix phase. Hopefully this will mean issuing a new signed applet using CACert.org certificates. This will precede a request for comments on a new version of PJirc and it's GUI.

  If you wish to be involved in this new phase please create an account at SourceForge.net and apply to be added to the PJirc dev team.

  We're looking for:-

  Java programmers, and debuggers.

  Compilers.

  Artists.

  Beta testers.

  People who understand CVS repositories to teach the rest of us how they work.

  Project leaders

  If nobody applies then this project will likely die, and there will be no new version of PJirc unless Plouf takes it back.

  It seems that disaster is the name of the game lately.

  Many apologies from the staff for losing the site for more then a week. The domain has now been renewed and normal service is resumed.

  Thanks for your patience.

• Website update disaster!

  I guess you all noticed that the website was down for a few days. Many apologies for that. I hope that you can forgive me.

  It seems that in my zeal to improve the security of the forums I totally killed the whole site.

  Well things are nearly back to normal with a new and improved version of the forums software. There's still a few items of tidyng up to do so please be patient while I work on them.

• Java Web Start HOWTO

  Hey folks.

  I feel a bit like Im blogging here, but I just wanted to say that I've written a very basic Java Web Start script for the PJirc applet, and grew to be impressed by the whole concept.

  Now at last, your users can break free of that browser!

  I'm sure I don't have to tell you what this means for gaming sites etc.

  Whilst I was researching this powerful distribution method I found that the benefits of JWS are so great that it's well worth looking at adding better support for it into the applet.

  With this in mind I will be doing more research into what needs to be done to make PJirc more able to be distributed in this fashion, and still allow users to customise it for themselves so that their experience is unique and repeatable.

  This doesn't mean that PJirc will not still be capable of being an embedded applet, nor will it affect PJirc's stand alone application status.
