QuickLinks v1.1 is here! 3/24/2020   Hi, everyone! Lately, I've been working on some of my old Windows programs that haven't been updated in a while. As a result, I have decided to release an update for QuickLinks. Version 1.1 doesn't add a ton of new features. Rather, it focuses on perfecting the current ones. Keep reading to learn more! What's new: I have made it a lot easier to  create definition files  in QuickLinks. Making definition files is now a breeze! This update improves the user interface in a pretty major way. For example, I have updated the  color scheme  to be more friendly and inviting. Nice! I have added a new tab in the main user interface that helps you identify errors you may encounter when using QuickLinks. Pretty handy! Bug fixes. Lots of them. I have made a number of other small improvements that I'll let you discover for yourself! This update might seem kind of minor, but it actually is very important. I have vastly improved the stability and

Cello Browser just got a huge update! 3/22/2020   Greetings, everyone! Up until now, I have always viewed Cello Browser as being a pretty minor project. However, this has changed with the release of Cello Browser v1.5. This update introduces several exciting new features. Keep reading to learn more! What's new: From IE to CEF:  Good news! Cello Browser is no longer based on Internet Explorer. It is now powered by the Chromium Embedded Framework! All of this browser jargon essentially means that Cello is going to be a lot faster and more reliable. Internet Explorer is being phased out by many websites these days, so I think it's a good thing that Cello is now based on a more powerful and reliable engine. Dark mode:  Dark mode shouldn't come as a surprise addition to Cello Browser. After all, it's an important new trend in software design. Cello's new dark mode is sleek and pitch black. I think you'll like it! More controls:  Back, forward, and reload are now here

Octua 16 has been released, and it's epic! 3/17/2020   I'm just going to cut to the chase. Octua 16 is the biggest update that the program has ever seen. I have added countless features, fixed a  ton  of bugs, and have improved the user interface in a major way. In this post, I will go over all of the changes that I have made to Octua. (that I can remember) I think this is going to be pretty exciting! What's new: Darker UI:  I have made the user interface a bit darker.  It's not a  genuine dark mode, but it's still awesome. New font, larger menus:  I have increased the size of the tools menu and changed the main font from Open Sans to Verdana. History:  Octua now saves your history. It logs your visited sites and saves them in a text file, which you can view or remove at any time. Identity change:  Google doesn't allow embedded Chromium browsers to sign into accounts anymore. As a result, Octua now pretends to be Firefox to avoid this issue. It's not the mos

Very important bug fix for PyCalc! 3/5/2020   Hello, everyone. I am deeply sorry about the launch issues with PyCalc. However, all problems have been fixed in version 1.1.

Updates on my new Palm OS app 3/5/2020   Greetings, everyone! Yesterday, I posted a "totally" subtle hint on Twitter about my new Palm OS app. However, if you missed that, I’ll explain what I’m working on in today’s blog post! First and foremost, the app I’m working on is a Pythagorean Theorem calculator called PyCalc. (not to be confused with Python) Anyway, this calculator can solve for the hypotenuse or legs of a triangle. You can also choose how far the result is rounded. It’s really neat! PyCalc should be released very soon. Stay tuned for more updates! The photo I shared on Twitter.
