The Design and Implementation of laffer1

First time the music sense has worked. You must get the windows media blogging plugin. It works on 9 and 10. See the jjsite journal for more info.

I added a ventrilo server and a day of defeat server tonight. I'm rebuilding the kernel with device polling and a few more things removed right now. Maybe that will help with ping. (i hope) It looks like the dns server has been targeted lately. I need to harden it and watch its statistics. Maybe I should get mrtg up on that box.

Alpha 3 was released a few minutes ago on the site. Here is a list of new features:

1. Rich text formatting is now working including bold, italic, underline, font selection and color!

2. You can now pick between rich text formatting and raw mode where you must write your own HTML for entries.

3. Music auto sense works for Windows Media player provided you have the microsoft windows media blogging plugin installed. (see microsoft.com for that) It is a creativity fun pack feature called wmblogging plugin. Also, winamp 1.x and some versions of music match will work.

4. Loading and saving a draft post works! It even saves in rich text formatting so you don't lose colors, fonts, etc. This is only for the post itself though and not subject, etc.

5. Allow and email comments were moved to menus instead of check boxes.

6. The toolbar was fixed to support most of the text formatting options. Color will be added later. (its available by menu now)

7. The login screen now lets you select SSL or non SSL. If you have a firewall blocking SSL based websites (padlock) or if you have an unpatched version of windows without the SSL updates you can turn SSL off. Note turning off SSL means no encryption is used during posting.

8. Maximize works on the journal entry screen.

Bugs:
1. Mood list is still not working. I haven't worked on the server side code to get this available. It will be done by 1.0 release.

2. Music sense does not work with any of the more common services like itunes, rhapsody or napster.

3. Once autologin is set, you can't change the SSL or other login options. I'll make a preferences/options screen as a menu option later to fix this. You can edit the registry keys if you are technical (set to no for autologin) HKCU/software/JustJournal
