In order to get it submitted in time for the promotion I had to leave it at the bare minimum. During a few hardware upgrades I managed to delete the source code, so I decided to completely re-write it for a version 2.0 release. Over the past two weeks I have released another 2 updates, bringing the version count to 2.2. Hopefully this version addresses many of the deficiencies in the original release.

Version 2.0:

  • Complete re-write.
  • Added ability to move groups of cards.
  • Added kingOnly option.
  • Added card remaining count and game timer.
  • Added sound effects for card move and game completion.

Version 2.1:

  • Minor bug fixes.
  • Added double-click logic to send card to home cells or free cells.

Version 2.2:

  • Added safe and aggressive auto play logic. Safe auto play mirrors the moves made by Microsoft Freecell and Freecell Pro. Aggressive auto play mirrors the moves made by NetCell.

Although many people have heard of MS, few people understand the complex, unpredictable, and potentially debilitating effects of the UK’s most common neurological condition affecting young adults.

During MS Week, as well as aiming to generally raise awareness and understanding of the condition, the MS Society is organising a number of national and local events which we need your help to make a success.

MS Week gives organisations working with people living with and affected by MS the opportunity to raise their profile in the public eye for one special week in the year.

Users of social networking websites are being asked to change their avatar to help promote the cause. There are a selection of avatars on the following page:

Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day 2009 will be celebrated around the world on Sunday April 26th. If you’ve never pinholed, check out the Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day site for a workshop near you.

Pinhole! Pinhole! Pinhole! « Flickr Blog.

I’ve already ordered a pinhole camera kit from sogifted.co.uk in preparation. http://www.sogifted.co.uk/photography-pinhole-camera-p-551.html. Not quite sure what to expect, but it all sounds kinda fun. :-)

This weekend they are hosting the Memorabilia show, featuring a number of sports and media stars, along with a variety or memorabilia dealers.

As per usual, I managed to spend far more money than I planned to. The new autographs I’ve added to my collection are:

Holly McGuire
Amylu Bennet
Robert Vaughn
Craig Charles
Robert Llewellyn

I had my picture taken with Holly McGuire who was very chatty, and every bit a lovely as I remember her being from my younger days.

Red Nose Day is here again. I haven’t bought a nose this year so I thought I’d splash out on a digital one.

Anyone who has followed an external link to the blog may be wondering why it didn’t work. Over the Christmas holidays I decided to move my hosting from Beyond Ego to Heart Internet. As tends to happen when I do these spur of the moment things, I forgot to make a backup of the old blog database. Unfortunately this means that all of my old blog posts have been consigned to the ether.

So if you are looking for tales of my musical outings to Oxford, or my attempts to shoe-horn dojo into Google App Engine, or my Balloon animals: I am very sorry, they are no more!

As a sort of consolation prize, here is a balloon snowman I made for my sister at Christmas. More blog posts to follow…
