I know I haven't been updating here much, but if this site were a CMS, it'd be much easier. I have news from the GUI Blog for those interested:
January 4, 2006
The holidays have kept me busy. Yesterday, I went back to my studies. I am trying to fit time to work on M-OS 2006, but I have some projects from my school that I need to get done first.
December 25, 2005
Merry Christmas! ¡Feliz Navidad! Here are your gifts:
Bill Attak! - A Bill Gates game, made by me in 2002 (CAUTION: this is addictive)
Free Wise 3.0 - An installer that imitates Wise Installation System (a commerical installer)
M-OS 2005 Source Code - The source code to Millennium OS 2005 (please install a copy of M-OS 2005 and then unzip the code)
Free Setup Factory - An installer that imitates Setup Factory (yet another commerical installer)
Visual Z++ 4.0 - A scripting/visual development system that reminds people of Visual Basic.
Everyone was good this year. ;-) Merry Christmas, everyone!
December 21, 2005
Wow! Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I was busy with preparing for Christmas. Plus, I am writing M-OS 2006 which will look like OS/2 1.2, if anyone saw any screenshots of it. I have just completed the file browser. For more info, see the GUI Blog. I will also be releasing a program on December 25 for Christmas. I might release more programs, since it is the season for giving!
December 10, 2005
I'll be gone today (Saturday) and Sunday. I just want to say that I'm working on several things between Flat GUI and M-OS Innovative SE. I'm not sure when either will be out, but I hope soon. M-OS Innovative SE is looking very different than the first edition.
December 5, 2005
I am planning on developing a Rush clone, that might be open source. I am still working on M-OS Innovative SE and Flat GUI.
December 4, 2005
I've been working on fixing close to all of the bugs in M-OS Innovative for the Second Edition. I'm taking my time on this one since I don't want to rush myself to the point that I'll mess everything up again. I've also been working on Flat GUI (more news at the GUI Blog).
November 28, 2005
I just finished remodeling the file browser (BROWSE.EXE) in M-OS Innovative SE. I've gotten quite a few errors and bugs out of M-OS Innovative SE that were in the first, so I hope to release the SE of M-OS Innovative this week. I uploaded the "open-source" copy of Dialogs GUI: http://kldp.net/frs/download.php/2971/dialogs.zip . Enjoy! I've also been spending time in the QuickBASIC GUI Blog, so please register or just visit to see news about GUIs.
November 24, 2005
M-OS Innovative SE still needs some things to be fixed. I'm not sure when I'm releasing that. I finished "Dialogs", and I'll try to release it as soon as I can. I'm also working on another new GUI called "Flat GUI".
November 20, 2005
Some people have found errors in M-OS Innovative, so I hope to have a Second Edition of M-OS Innovative soon. Now, I'm working on a side project called "Dialogs". It is a GUI, for DOS, written in QuickBASIC, and it'll feature a nice scripting language to program simple GUI programs. ;-) I've set up a BETA Metronic Hosting website. And, I've set up the QuickBASIC GUI Blog!
November 18, 2005
November 15, 2005
I know it's been a week since I updated, but I'm almost done with M-OS Innovative. The accessories are done, and the following are being worked on or need completion: Documentation, Desktop, Desktop Apps. Other than that, I'm set to go! :-)
November 8, 2005 - 8:45 P.M.
As risky as I can be, I have set up a counter for how long it'll be until M-OS Innovative's publishing. Who knows? Maybe sooner. :-)
November 8, 2005
I'm updating my website through my High School's connection, so I'm at a meeting. I would like to say that M-OS Innovative is coming along well. The datebook accessory is getting done. The rest of M-OS Innovative to be completed are the following: Credits accessory, About-Box-like accessory, WAV Player, BMP/Picture Viewer, and the desktop.
November 6, 2005
November 3, 2005
I know some people have had problems downloading all the code from the M-OS Platinum/3 code, so when I get a chance, I'll upload all the files into a directory, so you can download each file individually. :-) I'm working on the datebook program of M-OS Innovative, so that's like a rock. ;-)
November 1, 2005
I am trying to stop myself from getting so stressed, so I am not going to be online as much, however I'll still be developing M-OS Innovative. I've got some accessories to complete first, since over the weekend, I had some ideas. I know it's taking quite a while, but just ask yourself: Do you want it done quickly with errors or do you want it done right with less errors? Food for thought.
October 28, 2005
I'll be gone this weekend, but I will see if I can find time to work on M-OS Innovative. I've just got to work on the desktop and some other things. :-)
October 26, 2005
I've been busy this week, but I'm working on some of the last accessories of M-OS Innovative. After that, I'll be working on the desktop and stability. It's looking very good so far, so I'm hoping to have it done in a week or so. :-)
October 23, 2005
Here is the Millennium OS Platinum/3 code: http://kldp.net/frs/download.php/2890/PLAT3SRC.zip . It is permanently archived and open sourced! A whopping 6.47 MB!!! M-OS Innovative still needs much work, but this'll keep you excited until M-OS Innovative is done. :-)
October 22, 2005
Sorry for not updating all week, but I've been wanting people to vote in the polls. Well, we have a winner: Millennium OS Platinum/3. The code will be out by tomorrow, hopefully. :-) M-OS Innovative is coming well, but the accessories are being edited to work with M-OS.
October 16, 2005
M-OS Innovative is coming along well. I've still got those accessories to complete, but in the mean time, here's a poll for you: http://www.datacomponents.moved.in/poll/ . The poll is " Which copy of M-OS should be open sourced?" You'd better get voting. Polls end October 21, this Friday!
October 12, 2005
I'm working on the Paint program in M-OS Innovative. After that, I have a file browser (like the open/save dialogs in OSes), a word processor, and a spreadsheet program to work on. Then, I'll start on the desktop. I have some neat backgrounds like a "Pepsi World" background. I think people will be satisfied when this is done. :-)
October 10, 2005 - 7:00 P.M.
October 10, 2005
I've uploaded some links of new QuickBASIC websites. I am working on many different things, and Millennium OS Innovative is doing well. As far as development goes, I've only finished most of the accessories. I haven't even started on the desktop. The accessories are pretty neat, as you've seen in the screenshots. I've got only 5 more to go: Explorer (a file manager looking like Windows Explorer), a WAV player (for multimedia), Writer (a text editor), Spreadsheet (a spreadsheet program), Paint (a paintbrush-like program). After that, it shouldn't take too long, since the desktop just needs background settings (desktop picture or desktop color), and some program settings to work with the current window style.
October 9, 2005
KLDP has been having some problems, but we hope it'll be working tomorrow or in a day or so.
October 7, 2005
I'll be gone this weekend for another weekend of staffing on a camp out. I'll answer all e-mails and questions on Sunday, if you e-mail or ask me. M-OS Innovative is looking okay. The file manager is a little tricky, but I might be able to do it, but maybe not drag-and-drop. :-(
October 6, 2005
I'm working on a new file manager, with icons, and I'm working on implementing drag-and-drop. Maybe. Well, I also set up Fun550 on Metronic Hosting.
October 2, 2005
I've uploaded some screenshots of M-OS Innovative:
Address Book
Calculator
File Manager
M-OS Innovative Logo (preliminary design)
M-OS Presentations Designer
M-OS Presentations - Running a presentation
To-Do List
September 28, 2005
I've
been making progress with M-OS Innovative, and I'm not sure when it'll
be done. I haven't even gotten the desktop done, but I've been working
on the programs and accessories like crazy. I think everyone who uses
M-OS Innovative when it's done will be satisfied. I am thankful that I
wrote the QB Object (Rebuild) library which has helped ease the
programming. Oh, for those who are interested, I installed a File Sharing network called File Share: http://www.fileshare.us.tt/ . It's free, and I hope you like it.
September 27, 2005
I
restored everything to a new server:
http://datacomponents.ourproject.org/ . Instead of "gf.ttu.ee", enter
"ourproject.org", so everything from the TTU server is now on the
OurProject server. We're currently working on the new web hosting, and
we're redesigning the site. Currently in M-OS Innovative, I am working on the file manager in M-OS.
September 26, 2005
New
secondary hosting! We are currently working on copying everything from
TTU to OurProject.org. We will hopefully have everything up in a couple
of days, but we got feedback from TTU about their service status:
Ports on gf.ttu.ee (193.40.251.106):
(The 1652 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: filtered)
PORT STATE SERVICE
22/tcp open ssh
53/tcp open domain
80/tcp closed http
113/tcp closed auth
443/tcp closed https
September 23, 2005
Like
most weekends, I'll be gone on this one too. I'll be at Cooperstown, NY
(in the USA) and I won't be back until late Sunday. I'll answer your
e-mails (if you have any for me) when I get back.
September 22, 2005
Here's a demo of M-OS Presentations,
a presentations program for M-OS. It is a little complicated, but you
run "DESIGNER.EXE" to run the designer, run "PRESENT.EXE" for the
viewer, and as a command argument, enter the presentation file (*.TXT
or *.PRS) (e.g. PRESENT.EXE TEST1.TXT). We have found hosting, and we
are currently rebuilding everything. Nothing should be lost, but our
DNS should be made by tomorrow.
September 20, 2005
KLDP
is back online again, but we still have no response via HTTP from TTU.
We're trying to request a mirror or a back-up host for the users of QB
Project. We've taken the liberty to keep your work on our main server,
but we will not allow use of the file manager. We're sorry, but we
don't want any problems to occur, but we're taking the liberty of
upgrading QB Project to a better QBasic host, as soon as we get a host.
September 19, 2005
We got
news that KLDP is having some problems, but they're working on it and
they should be up soon. As for TTU, we haven't seen anything, much less
heard anything from them.
September 18, 2005
KLDP is still down, and TTU has just went
down too. We can receive connections to both, but we can't use HTTP on
them. For those of you who are impatient, all files are here for KLDP: http://ftp.madnom.com/kldp/download/datacomponents/ . And here is the TTU site: http://www.datacomponents.us.tt/ttu/ . Instead of datacomponents.gf.ttu.ee, please enter datacomponents.us.tt/ttu/ for the files. Some features may not work correctly, but we will try to seek the problems.
September 16, 2005
KLDP is down. Our main file server is
down, and we think it'll be up soon, but if it is down for a very long
time, we will investigate this and repair it. Sorry for the
inconvenience.
Progress has been pretty good so far. I'm
almost done with the designer for M-OS Presentations. Hopefully, I will
use that to make a visual designer for the SDK. :-D There is still much
to do in M-OS, but I hope to get that done by October. I'm sorry to
those who are impatient, but please wait. Good things that take long to
develop take long times for them to develop. :-)
September 12, 2005
Some plans have been changed in the
designer, but it'll still be pretty good and easy for designing
presentations. I've also got so much planned, here's what is planned: File Manager, Writer, Spreadsheet, WAV player, screensavers (many), Datebook, and more.
September 9, 2005
I'll be
gone this weekend, and I won't be back until late Sunday. I am,
however, going to get some things done for M-OS Innovative. I have so
much planned, and I'd like to get as much done as possible. :-)
September 7, 2005
New
plans! I'm going to be developing part of M-OS Innovative on my laptop,
since I'll be going to school in the mornings, and I'll have time to
work on it then. I'm not sure how much I'll accomplish, but I'll try to
get as much done as possible. I've got several things to do for people,
school, and myself, so I'll plan things out accordingly. I am desperate
and persistent to get this GUI done, but right now I'm working on the
Presentations Designer, which is taking a long time might I add. So,
please bear with me and be patient. Thanks. :-)
September 5, 2005
Progress
is coming along well, but slowly. Not on my part, but just on
programming all the features and making sure everything works. I'm
working on the designer for M-OS Presentations, which is taking a
while, but I hope to have it done soon. Everything is coming great, and
I'm hoping to have it done in a month or sooner, hopefully.
September 1, 2005
M-OS
is getting better and better! With the support of our QB Object
(Rebuild) library, we're able to write programs for M-OS in short
amounts of time. I'm still working on the designer for M-OS
Presentations, and hopefully, an SDK will be made too! We have so much
planned, and we hope we can accomplish it soon.
August 29, 2005
Sorry for
not updating, but I've been getting ready for returning to school
tomorrow. During 7 AM to 2:30 PM, I'll be at my high school, so
progress on M-OS will be delayed a little. However, we have gotten a
lot done. We're working on a PowerPoint-type of program for M-OS, and
it's working great! QB Object 1.2 is available for download.
August 25, 2005
Well, the
library for M-OS is going to have a different design. Because we were
thinking of using the RTI-icon loader for the windowing icons, we've
decided to change window styles. We also acquired software that allows
us to convert our designs to code. :-) We'll at least receive better
compliance from the library and ease of programming now. QB Object v1.2 should be released tomorrow, since we found some things that should be updated.
August 21, 2005
BREAKING NEWS: The Tripod Website ( http://tlsuess.tripod.com/)
has been taken offline! We are still investigating this removal of our
mirror site, but this site will now become the main website. However, I have a progress reporter for all of you: http://www.datacomponents.us.tt/mos/ . This will give you access to the project's status. TO LOGIN, USE " mos" AS THE USERNAME AND THERE IS NO PASSWORD. Check under the " Projects" tab for M-OS Innovative. You can use this to check up on M-OS Innovative's progress.
August 17, 2005
Many thanks to those who signed my guestbook. :-) Also, sorry I
didn't update later that day or yesterday, but I was extremely busy
writing programs for M-OS and volunteering my time to other
things. I released QB Object (Rebuild) v1.1: http://kldp.net/frs/download.php/2687/qbobj11.zip . This has significant changes, so I'd recommend downloading it if you are using the QB Object (Rebuild).
August 15, 2005
It's my birthday, today! I'm now 15 years old. If you'd like, would you please sign my guestbook. Thank you. I'll have a software update later today.
August 14, 2005
I'm working on some programs for M-OS using the new QB Object
(Rebuild). I'm working on the Address-book program, and there's quite a
lot to do. :-) Also, I should have a release of QB Object (Rebuild)
Version 1.1 with some corrections and additions made to the
library.
August 11, 2005
August 6, 2005
August 5, 2005
I've been busy during the week working on M-OS and the GUI SDK
developed from KaOS. As some of you who tried KaOS know, it has a bad
foundation to the QBasic environment, so I have been working to make it
smaller, stable, and fast. I've also been participating in the
JacobPalm.dk Forums a lot, so if you want to talk to me there, you can
join Jacob's forum and just PM my profile, which is my name.
July 31, 2005
I was looking in the Data Components Archive (on my PCs and disks) and
I am thinking of uploading some of my early development programs and
software for free as an archive. In a few days, I'm going to see if I
can move in to Moved.in and make sure everything works. I'm glad that
their hosting is reliable.
July 28, 2005
PCPAGES.COM has crashed! Here is the link with more info: http://www.pcpages.com/loss.htm . If
the files are not restored from the backup by the PCPAGES
administrators, we will try to fix all links and correct the errors.
Please be patient.
July 27, 2005
We are busy working on an online page editor for QBProject.us.tt, but
we are still finding time to work on M-OS. We are working on converting
some programs to work with SCREEN 12 and M-OS. Our window library is
still not complete yet, but it is starting to look nice.
July 24, 2005
We are back up, and we are currently working on moving the website to
Moved.in, so the URL from the US.TT redirector domain will be changed
to http://www.datacomponents.moved.in/ . QBProject has also had some improvements, so now when you register, you have more options and also, you RECEIVE A FREE WEBSITE!!!!
July 16, 2005
I've been busy with M-OS, QBProject, and much more. I didn't want you to think this site was abandoned or close to it, but on July 17 to July 23, I will be at Summer Camp, and there are no computers up there. If you want to submit a project to QBProject, you may, but it will be approved/denied on July 24 or after.
I also received the code to "QB Object Library", a unique GUI library
written in QuickBASIC by AMP Software. Data Components Software
Development has space reserved for AMP Software, but no website exists.
Before I forget, M-OS XT 5.0 is released: http://kldp.net/frs/download.php/2524/mosxt5.zip .
July 12, 2005
I know this site has had a couple downtime problems and such, but we
are currently looking for new hosting since we don't have word if
HostDI will be back up again. To those of you who have QBProject.us.tt accounts, we will be keeping
them, but we hope to find a secondary host for QBProject.us.tt
websites. This feature will only be available to those with
QBProject.us.tt accounts. We are still testing and working on this, but
we should have it soon. To those of you who have bookmarks of QBasicGUI.us.tt or Data
Components Home, we ask that you please change it to this URL for
temporary purposes: http://datacomponents.kldp.net/71005/ and http://datacomponents.kldp.net/71005/QBGUI/ . We're sorry for the inconvenience, but I am still fighting to keep these services available for the community. With regards to M-OS, M-OS XT 5.0 will not have the XP-style theme since we are planning on using it in "Millennium OS Innovative", and since we didn't have much time for converting due to recent
events. Our apologies, but the documentation is written and it should
work.
July 6, 2005
I know I haven't really updated you with much info on M-OS XT 5.0's progress, so here's a screenshot to show it:
 To see a clearer shot, you may visit the "Millennium OS" page to see it better.
July 4, 2005
Happy 4th of July!
...to those who live in the U.S. and elsewhere. M-OS XT 5.0 might be
delayed, but I hope to release it soon. I might have to change my plans
if Pheonix will be continually developed by me. Hosting is back up.
July 1, 2005
Please excuse me for not updating earlier, but I have been working on Phoenix, a GUI by Fun550. It can be found at: http://www.fun500.hostdi.info/Pheonix/
. KLDP hasn't been working well today, but I hope it works better
tomorrow. If it doesn't work soon, I'll have to put all project hosting
in pending, move the file archive, and put all the files into the
new host, and of course, redirect all the URLs. Here is where all the
Data Components files can be found, on KLDP's secondary host (which I
can't upload to): http://ftp.madnom.com/kldp/download/datacomponents/ .
You can find Millennium OS 2005 (mos2005.zip) and M-OS XT 4.0
(mosxt4.zip). Again, please excuse the delay, but I have been pretty
busy.
June 27, 2005
M-OS
XT 5.0 is on its way. It will be done in about a week or less. I've
also uploaded a picture of myself on the "About Us" page of the
website, so you can see the man behind the mask. ;-)
June 26, 2005
I
will be using the XP-style library from M-OS Platinum/3 for use in M-OS
XT 5.0. I also hope to launch a copy of M-OS in SVGA in the summer as
well. As some of you know, there was the M-OS Gold project which was
our attempt at writing an SVGA version of M-OS to imitate the one shown
in the first screenshot on the Millennium OS page.
June 25, 2005
I'm
back from vacation, so I'll resume work. Millennium OS XT 5.0 still
needs work, but the scripting engine is complete. I am now writing some
demos and scripting tutorials for it. Help and documentation on the
scripting engine are also finished.
June 17, 2005
I am
updating this through a hotel connection, but I would like to say that
the scripting language in M-OS XT 5.0 is looking neater and better. I
fixed it and it should have object-oriented capabilities. I'll try to
release it in July when M-OS XT 5.0 and the entire eXtended Technology edition of M-OS is done. I still have many other ideas for M-OS, so it will not die anytime soon.
June 16, 2005
Hi
all! I'll be on vacation from June 17 to June 27 and during that time
there will be NO UPDATES and NO PROJECT APPROVALS/DENIALS. I will try
to update the site with news on M-OS XT 5.0, but I can't guarantee I
will. Plus, ALL E-MAILS SENT TO ME WILL BE ANSWERED ON JUNE 27 OR LATER.
June 12, 2005
M-OS XT 4.0 is here!!!! You can download version 4 here: http://kldp.net/frs/download.php/2356/mosxt4.zip .
I also hope to make M-OS XT 5.0, which will look like a Windows
XP-style GUI. Like M-OS Platinum, there was a theme-system which will
be reintroduced into M-OS.
June 11, 2005
M-OS
XT 4.0 is on its way! I am just putting the finishing touches on it,
and it'll be done. It is very stable, and it looks a lot like Windows
95! You'll be surprised to run it. It will act the same as M-OS XT
3.11, except it will now look like Windows 95.
June 10, 2005
Sorry
everyone for not updating earlier, but today was officially the last
day of school for me, so I spent my time talking to friends and
spending time with them. Anyway, M-OS XT 4.0 will
now be developed more. I have new plans for M-OS too. I have a plan to
integrate window-animations like that in Windows when the windows are
minimized, but these animations take effect when windows are created in
M-OS. Also, I have an experiment to re-introduce SVGA into M-OS. As
many of you know M-OS Gold (the unsuccessful attempt of M-OS's port to
SVGA), we will be starting off with the screen resolution of 640x480x256. Also, I have many other plans for M-OS too to be developed over the summer, so be prepared for M-OS in action. I'll try to be daily if not every other day, so I can let you all know what will be done or what has been done with M-OS.
June 6, 2005
Don't
worry, M-OS is not dead. I will be ending school for summer vacation on
this Friday, so I'll have much time to work on M-OS XT 4.0, which is
looking great. I just have to convert a few programs and then it'll be
done. After that, I have ideas for making M-OS look like KDE or Gnome.
June 3, 2005
I finished my final exams! I will be gone this weekend, sadly, but I'll still have time to work on M-OS and such.
May 30, 2005
May 27, 2005
I'm
sorry for such a long wait, but this week has been a review and
preparation
week for my final exams. Sorry... :-(
but I've got to study if I want to go into my Sophomore year at high
school.
I just thought you'd like to know that
I'm still working on M-OS, in fact, I'm working on the coding of the
M-OS
XT 4.0 library, so I'm not going to give up on M-OS because of some
exams. I am also hoping to set up QBProject.us.tt
soon and open the hosting applications for anyone looking for QBasic
Project Hosting.
May 22, 2005
Sorry
for not updating, but exams are coming up for my school and I need to
dedicate
time to my high school studies, so progress
will be slow for a couple of weeks, but in June, progress will pick up.
Also,
I am opening a QBasic Project Host. Here
is the preliminary website: http://www.qbproject.us.tt/
. The project registrations will be allowed when notified on this site.
There is still much to do.
