Enthusiast Anti-spam Addon, and allegations of jumping ship

Entry posted on 2008-05-13 11:52 am

Gabrielle wrote an Enthusiast anti-spam addon, which may be useful for those of you whose listings have been targeted by spambots. Please check it out if you have this problem, as this may work for you. Thanks so much to Gabrielle for doing this. <3

On the subject of Enthusiast, I would like to assure everybody that I have not “abandoned ship”. Believe you me, I’ve been through a lot because of Enthusiast, from disgruntled users who swear at me or my script, to people who have ripped my script and claimed it as their own. Yes, I have thought of “abandoning ship” plenty of times, and I suppose this might keep happening far into the future.

But I haven’t thrown in the towel just yet.

That doesn’t mean, however, that everything will be oh-so-fine and dandy and scripts will get chugged out of this scripts archive/tech blog at a steady pace. I wish I could, but there are only 24 hours a day, and seven days a week. I am no longer a college student, as the case was when I started Enthusiast all those years ago and virtually no one knew about it.

(I started to break down my time in an attempt to show just how scrapped for time I am, but I decided not to let it go that far.)

Enthusiast is not the only thing I have to put my time on. I have three blogs, and none of them even get updated as regularly as I like. My first love is creative writing, but I can’t even allot proper time for that. If you look at my fanlistings, a whole chunk of them haven’t even had new layouts in a year, some of them over two! I’ve even relegated to using layouts made by others in my journal (and maybe others) in an attempt to cut down on whatever coding I need to do. I’m a developer/designer, coding is what I do, but I can’t have time to whip up a quick CSS file to customize my own things. How sad is that?

Enthusiast is not the only thing I want to do. I have three scripts I want to create, one script that desperately needs a revamp (and I mean really desperately, but guess what? Enth development is still ranked higher), and I have a couple of others (featured here) that needs an update sometime soon. They’re all competing for attention, and I’m trying to manage it all, along with my work as a Yahoo, the little things we need to do daily so that we continue living, take care of my health, interact with the people around me.

That said, Enthusiast is important to me. I don’t think any one of you who are using it can claim that Enthusiast is more important to them than it is to me. It is important to you only so far as it helps you maintain your fanlistings, but Enth as an entity by itself is useless to you. You’re free to move to other scripts if you find Enthusiast lacking, I’m not stopping you.

To those of you who have shown me support, who help others with their Enthusiast installations, who have donated a little bit to my tip jar for my efforts…I thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Your show of support does not go unnoticed, and they continue to fuel the work here when times are tough. <3

OhNo 2.3 Release Candidate 2

Entry posted on 2008-05-05 10:24 pm

The second release candidate for OhNo is up — please update your installations with the script, which you can download here. Like before, there is no upgrade script necessary, just overwrite all the contents of your installation except for config.inc.php. :)

OhNo 2.3 Release Candidate 1

Entry posted on 2008-05-04 9:49 am

I’ve put together an OhNo! 2.3 release candidate. Yes, I know, 2.2 never got around to an actual release (completely my fault!), but 2.3 has a few nice things added in.

Changes include:

  • Tightened login security
  • Rebranded script to take in different kinds of troubles lists, not just fanlistings
  • Added ability to add/edit/delete troubles statuses/reasons
  • Updated look of the script
  • Fixed insert new entry bug
  • Added version number to actual layout so you can see what version you’re using.

For those of you concerned about security vulnerabilities as posted by Jem on her website, rest assured those issues have already been righted since November 2006 with the 2.2 release candidate. :)

Please note that since this is a release candidate (and not an actual release yet), I will not be putting up an upgrade script. In any case, there is nothing much required to upgrade your installation — just copy over all the files except for config.inc.php and you’re done.

Please post on this entry if you come across any problems with this release candidate (layout problems, usability problems, etc). I’m hoping to promote this to an actual release by end of the week.

WordPress Upgrade

Entry posted on 2008-04-28 12:44 am

I’ve finally upgraded Indiscripts to WordPress 2.5, and uploaded a new layout for the blog. There might be a few quirks here and there, which I will sort out in a bit — it’s already 1AM and I’m bushed!

Just in case the new WordPress mucks about with the download pages on my website, remember that you can always use the quick download page to download the scripts. :)

Known issues at the moment

I have accidentally left out code block styling, and the download pages’ comment form looks rather weird with all the floating and margins. I’ll be getting on that once I get back home. ;) Edited to add: Done! :)

If you see anything amiss, let me know.
