Supa Comix

So i eventually got around to fixing the forum. It was running a test version of MyTwitterBB that wasn’t working properly. I have just removed the plugin since i do not have time to fix the bug properly. Speaking of not having time:

I have now finished the first version of Supa Blogg, it’s not available to anyone to use right now as I’m testing it after coding and everyone who codes knows how many first time bugs they find when they test a program for the first time. I do not unit test with large programs, i would rather code in the flow of it and then bug test in one go. It means that everything is kept going and im not breaking flow to see whether it’s showing the right time or not. I am continuing to test Supa Blogg and i hope to have it running my personal blog very soon. It won’t be out for Public use until after i have released the new Supa Comix website later this year (hopefully).

MyTwitterBB Version 2.5 has not had anything done to it just yet. I have started University and i have to do that, SupaBlogg and the Survivors Diary so getting things done is a slow process right now. I have so many things that i want to do but cannot do alot of them because i have to prioritise what I’m working on. I was just making a post to make sure that you did not think that we were dead or anything.

I do not know what’s happening with Is it Because I’m Green or Virtually Reality, Adele has also started uni and has more work than me so she’s also very busy. But from what i’ve seen the scripts for Season 1 of IIBIG are coming along nicely.

So after the long period of no posting information, or news or anything on this page i come bearing loads of new information.

Firstly, the Supa Comix website is still coming along nicely, i am working on the blogging platform first. This will be installed first on the new website and it will be the home of my blog where i can test it quite extensivley and continously whenever i upgrade it. I will release more information about it once its done, but before its ready for release. I do not expect Supa Kode to be ready for release until after the new website has come out due to the fact that the major testing of that code will be done with the new website.

MyTwitterBB is going into its next revision, i have been working on some better ways to read XML files and fetching their data and i have found a way to do it i just need to do some more coding around it and add in some more features before i release it.

MyWikiBB has had some more ideas done for it but i have not done anything to that.

The Survivors Diary Community has just had a portal page installed meaning that everything that happens in the community can now be found within one singular place. Including some new content. We have also chosen to move the podcasts release date to biweekly.

Other projects such as Gal X, Zombie Stress 2 etc are remaining uncompleted right now. There is a lot to complete and what we want to do has to be prioritised so the projects such as Gal X and Zombie Stress 2 have to be put on hold.

Wow we are starting to update the Supa Comix website a bit more often than ever before! Yey!

Supa Kode is now moving it’s wiki to a new website address, the old one at Wetpaint was not fulfilling what we needed from it unlike wikidot. Don’t get us wrong Wikipaint was great but we needed something else from it that it did not support and wikidot was the answer. So we have started to move over what page we have on the old wiki to the new one. We have added a couple more and then an article on PHP Naming Conventions. We hope to get this website updated often, Supa Kode is coming towards being completed in the way of alpha and construction level coding. There are many bugs to work out and we are still working on that. But these bugs and additions will be added whilst we code the Supa Comix website.

Check out the website here.

Check out a blog post about MyWikiBB, MyTwitterBB and the New Supa Comix website updates here. Also please follow our twitter feed: www.twitter.com/SupaComix

The latest Version of MyTwitterBB (2.2) is now available for download. This one features some updates to its code including:

- Support for hashtags
- Changed code that identifies html links
- MyBB Global now supports more than one url.

You will need to uninstalled any previous versions of MyTwitterBB in order to install the new version. Try and backup all of your users twitter usernames that they’ve entered in if you can. I will hopefully have a backup script written for version 2.3 as well as some other changes that may need applying.

But please zip over to the website and download it.

Well i know its been a while since we’ve posted anything here but we have been busy. It’s nearing the end of the university year and so we’re trying to get a lot of that work done and dusted. Luckily i have very little left to do for uni so i can start working on Supa Comix stuff full time soon.

The Supa Comix website is coming along, i’ve been coding a lot of pages and been getting around to testing them at a later date, at the moment i have been getting along with the Supa Kode stuff but its starting to come along quickly.

Me and soul have also been working on a small comic which mixes with the Survivors Diary podcast that we do. Check out the links on the side for the website for that.

Now i have been working on some plugin for MyBB forums called MyTwitterBB. It’s gone into version 2.0 and seems to be working pretty well. It has been confirmed on the MyBB plugin part of the website but you can check it out at supacomix.co.uk/mytwitterbb. It merges users forum accounts user titles with their twitter accounts and also allows a global display of a twitter feed. Its not in use on the Supa Comix forum becuase Supa Comix does not have a twitter feed and the forums are not often used. But it is in use of the Survivors Diary Forums so check it out there.

From the awesome mind of Adele Waldrom comes a stop motion animation about Crazy Eddy.

Well the good news is that i am currently (sort of) on schedule with the Supa Comix website. This and next week i am working on the projects folder of the website which contains pages where you edit and maintain as well as view the project or even create some. Though that are 6 pages, one of them is proving to take longer than normal. This is due to the fact that it is a big page, the edit/ create new project page, it has about 5 steps and i am working on them slowly.

With my new approach to the website it doesn’t take long to create simpler pages such as the list all projects page, that took me about 10 minutes. This one has a lot of stuff that needs creating for it so it does take a long time. I am currently on step 4 of 5, and with me doing the actual project page today i can get both that and step 4 of the manage project page done.

In excellent news i have now completed my Dissertation for university, i just need to hand it in. Now i am intending to move onto my creative writing course which i intend to have all of the work done by April the 13th. Though i was meant to do one of the tasks this morning i had to work on printing my dissertation. So hopefully i can get both the tasks i’ve set myself for today done during my hour of work on uni stuff.

In other news me and adele have been working hard on the Survivors Diary, we’ve recently purchased some more bandwidth as it was proving very popular and we needed an upgrade. We are planning to work on a side project for it which shouldn’t take too long to do and will hopefully allow people to enjoy more left 4 dead content.

Well i know that we have not made a post here for a while, especially me but we have been busy. I am nearing the end of my third year of university and so i have many things to get done for it. Though i’m mainly concentrating on a 6k word dissertation right now so writing a lot of co-herent english (if at all) eventually hurts my head.

Anyway i have good news, most of the work that i now get up to is actually based upon some website coding for Supa Comix which i try and get done as well as keep to a schedule which has now been set. At current projections that if i worked for 3 days a week completing one page per day then the website would be ready by July at least for beta testing. However this does not take into account of no more university, days off, injury or sickness as well as me doing more than one page a day. So hopefully i should get it done around that time, at the moment i’m working towards the correct time span being roughly on target. I have something thats due for this wednesday that i’ve set myself so hopefully i will get that done.

To stay on top of updates as they unfold please subscribe to my blog which may be moving soon but i am unsure about that at the moment. I also have a twitter account which you can follow where i post my daily happenings and such.
