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.

Hey everyone, it is the eve of mine and Adeles three week camping trip. This means that no direct work on Supa Comix will be done, however we will be talking a lot about some secret projects, including Zombie Stress 2 and Is It Because I’m Green. Hopefully a lot of what we want to do will get done pretty quickly and so we can actually get straight into work when we get back from our awesome holiday.

Until then i will only be able to update my twitter feed (www.twitter.com/sc_nickbrowne) when not at a computer. But i may pop online at random intervals when i get wireless on my PDA to check emails and stuff.

So until then cya!

Hey everyone, we’re back again posting news left right and center. So we have a lot to let you know of:

Firstly we are moving steadily with the new website. Although it will not be completed by the 1st of July unfourtunatley. Once again i have restructured how it will work and so that has been a major set back with the website development. Other major things include that i have to do another website for my Open University course, as well as that we are also going camping for about 3 weeks from the 2nd of July to the 26th meaning that we are going to be away for a while.

Secondly, a lot of some minor projects are starting to take shape so they should start to see content after our return or even, if you’re lucky, before we go away. So watch this space for new content.

Thirdly, our minor project MyWikiBB is undergoing some slow development, but when we come back and when i have the time to update it i will have Alpha 3 ready. It’s nothing major in the way of something that you can interact with but it is some updates for how such a project is going.

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.

thats right… i do release some stuff on time! in fact i have been working hard to update the look of the Is It Because I’m Green website over the past few days.

So now the new look is up you can go and check it out by going to the project page where the old design has been replaced. There isnt any content on there at the moment as we are still working on it… but it still looks pretty… oh and the Project announcment will be coming soon. – Adele

The website as you can see runs on WordPress, this is just becuase with the time frame that we had i didn’t have enough to construct everything for the blog just yet. So for now it’s going to be a wordpress blog, but the good news is that work has actually properly started on the Supa Comix website. I had to go back and do a bit of it again but this time it’s working properly and im working in a better order than before as i now do things in the order that i would need them testing.

Hopefully i will be able to get a lot of it done and a lot of it will come around to be fixed and working soon. You may even be seeing some of it go live in a while. – Nick

With one more week left of doing work for uni,  i can finaly start to pick up the “Is It Beacause I’m Green” project from where i left it.

i’m really happy to be able to get back to filming and i dont intend to ever end this project until it is compleated. Once the new supacomix has been compleated, in the not too distant future, “is it because i’m green” should be in its final episodes, then i can start thinking about my next projects. not to mention that i have recently purchased some new expansion packs and my new computer has already been upgraded so super smooth high quality footage coming your way from episode Nine onwards!

currently i am working on a comic for the supa comix project, “the survivors diary” and you may have seen nick published the stop motion animation that i did for uni,  so i havent been sitting around doing nothing lol

finaly, its been passed around that the sims 3 will NOT have the DRM after all… thanks to maxis… not EA, so there is a good chance that i may be doing future projects with the sims 3.

I look foward to bringing you the next episodes soon.

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.

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.

taking a break from all our technical issues and hard work, me and Nick went to see Watchmen… but the viewing was interupted… by technical difficulties…
but that meant we got to see it again for free.
anyway, i have written a review about the film in the forum review section (yes we have one of those) so check that out and give us your input too.
