BluCoders Blu is what you want it to be

Here I am again, with another lovely blog post, and I can tell you right now that it won't be as epic as node12 was. Having that said, let us commence!

BluServ (Server #1) went down for a few hours today due to a fuse short-circuiting at ABK's Home, and since said person's parents didn't tell him about this having happened at all, the server was left offline longer than it should have.

ABK apologises for any inconvenience this might have caused you, but it was completely out of his hands...

Most of you will know that a little while ago, BluCoders released Bingo Manager, a program to aid calling of Bingo numbers. At the time, the program was not released to the public, and a license had to be purchased to use it. We are pleased to say that it now has been released to the public, with all the code and binary downloads available shortly.

Oi, you lot, what's going on here?!

A lot quite frankly, but it shall all be revealed to you in details, in just a few moments.... But before you read on let me warn you that this post is rather long and to some it might be terribly boring, therefore I have added "sections" so that you can easily browse to what you want to read about.


Well then, I have but one final thing to say to you; GLHF!

The BluCoders' Bingo Manager is an application that is designed to ease the announcing of Bingo numbers at any form of professional establishment or personal entertainment centre.

The Bingo Manager has many features designed to ease the managing of a session of Bingo.

These include:

- Last numbers window. This is a separate window that displays the last two numbers called. This means that the main managerial window can be kept on the caller's computer, while having this separate window displayed on an external monitor or projector

I've been talking to a lot of people on vBIRC about how to develop a good website and one thing /always/ comes into it and that is customer satisfaction. Simply put, giving the user/customer that they want. After reading all of the stories about vB's fall from fame, and how the leading developers Kier and Mike have left vB for a better future (That future being XenForo [http://xenforo.com/community/]), I've decided that it's about time I started asking people what they want from a website, more particularly my website (http://www.heretic121.com/).

Apache's configuration has always irked me slightly...to be more specific, the configuration of SSL on VirtualHosts. Sure, if you want only one VirtualHost to have an equivalent SSL section, you just copy and paste, change the port number, and add a few lines. However, what if you have more? What if you have, say, 40 virtualhosts spread across several files? It could quite easily become tedious and time consuming. And what if you change the original specification of the VirtualHost? You'd need to keep the configuration in sync, or it could easily lead to some annoying errors.

Right, sorry about the title but I have no idea how else I can put across how important this blog post actually is.

Now then a select few of BluCoders' most trusted users came together for a meeting. The object of the meeting was to ascertain what we should do about the future for Blu. Some of you may think that it was slightly under-handed of us to have our own private meeting, but it needed to be done due to some of the material, we have been discussing, being quite sensitive.

The agenda for the meeting was as follows:

• Xhrono and SoulGamers Situation

That's right guys, my SNS (Social Networking Service/Site) called Heretech121 has now become a BluCoders Project.

Some people may know what it is, and even fewer will be surprised at the this blog post.

Samuel-Sama Will not be around for a seemingly long while due to "personal reasons" (for more info ask people in #blu, maybe they'll tell you more)..

Get better soon Samuel-Sama..... We miss you ;_;
