Oh boy, just had myself a busy few hours of coding and testing … just to please you guys 🙂 It was fun, and i’m not all done yet! Have a few more ideas I want to implement before NZB Completion Checker goes beta – and then hopefully 1.0 final!

The biggest news this time is multiple server support! It took a bit of time to get it working, since a whole lot of code had to be rewritten and retested. I’ve done a quick test of it all, but I’ll leave most of the checking up to you!

Well.. lets get on with the details!

Finally I found the time to implement a simple and secure way of reporting bugs in NZB Completion Checker. It’s very simple really. I set up a simple form on a secure site (SSL – 256 bit AES) where you can report bugs, feature requests, signup for pre-alpha releases and more. Nothing gets logged besides the data you enter into the form. There is only one mandatory field, description! You can leave the rest blank if you like – it’s really up to you!

With the current rate of people donating CPU time, it would take close to 7 years to complete a single coin. With the value of bitcoins dropping like crazy, that bitcoin would probably be worth less than $1 at that time. So I’m removing the feature from the homepage. No need to waste any more CPU cycles!

However…

Google+, Programming

A few days ago, Google™ launched their “Google Plus(+)™” social network. Now as you can read all over the internet, it seems pretty good, and most people say it stands a pretty good chance of competing against Facebook™. Now, like so many other people I’m on the Face with my friends, not such much for the “social” aspect of it, but because Facebook allows you to develop applications for their platform.

When developing FB applications, your can have ads on your page… from a few select Facebook approved ad providers. Guess what? Google Adwords™ is NOT among them. It used to be, but then (I guess?) FB started a fight with Google.

But back to Google+ … lets see what this beast can do..
