Astra update

tometheus@gmail.com — Mon, 16 Oct 2006 14:46:55 GMT

Just a small update for those wondering about Astra and my projects.
First off, all previous iconpacks will have to be redesigned. I suppose one could make a compatibility interface, but I'm not going to bother since I've always had the disclaimer on mine that iconpacks aren't finalized. I've made updates for Tomethicons and Necronomicons so far. They don't have an installer yet, but they will eventually.
Secondly, there are changes in the works that mean that PackRat (and The Configurator) will need some retooling, so don't try to use them in Astra until I've updated them.
Third, due to certain changes in Trillian, TrillKey can no longer distinguish the Contact List from certain other windows. (As well as there being container issues.) This means that TrillKey will probably be retired as of Astra.
Fourth, skins are getting some nice updates. There's still a bug in STIXE that makes BlueTurtle not quite updated, but it should be ready to go by the time Astra is released. As for SETi, well, I'm waiting on more parts of Astra to be rolled out in the alpha stage before I say one way or another.

BlueTurtle theme - Blushing Turtle

Mon, 22 May 2006 04:21:00 GMT

Added another theme for BlueTurtle. Pink.. ewwwwww. Also updated the other themes to version 3.1.3

BlueTurtle theme - Fossil Turtle

Mon, 17 Apr 2006 05:37:00 GMT

Added another theme for BlueTurtle. Fossil Turtle is the descendant of the old GreyTurtle theme.

BlueTurtle themes - Coffee and Forest

Thu, 06 Apr 2006 03:37:00 GMT

Added a couple of themes for BlueTurtle. Coffee is a brown theme and Forest is a green theme. Of course, since it's new graphics, Forest doesn't look like the old GreenTurtle, but it looks more like how I wanted it to look originally.

BlueTurtle for STIXE 3.1.0

Mon, 03 Apr 2006 06:20:00 GMT

BlueTurtle... upgraded. Completely recreated for the STIXE conversion. This allows easier upkeep between Trillian versions. So, it's not exactly like the old version, but it's a pretty close approximation.

X-macons - Christmas iconpack

Sun, 18 Dec 2005 10:38:00 GMT

It's a Christmas iconpack: X-maçons!

NecronomIcons - Halloween iconpack

Thu, 13 Oct 2005 05:14:00 GMT

It's a Halloween iconpack: NecronomIcons! There is also a silly story to go along with the iconpack. Feel free to submit your own stories based on the icons in the thread.

Stixe IconPack Extensions Patch

Thu, 13 Oct 2005 05:14:00 GMT

A STIXE icon patch that allows stixe skins to use the iconpack extensions in NecronomIcons and TomethIcons. You can run the installer again and uncheck 'apply patch' and it will disable the patch. It's coded to only work with Trillian 3.x, so hopefully things won't be broken in the Next Version. (It will allow you to disable the patch in later versions though.)

The Configurator v0.26.02

Thu, 13 Oct 2005 05:14:00 GMT

Includes The 'Pack Rat to replace the internal Trillian Advanced Settings. Important update for the use of the STIXE Iconpack Extensions Patch.

PackRat update v3.1.05

Thu, 13 Oct 2005 05:14:00 GMT

Adds more features such as config buttons, etc and fixes a ppotentially major bug in .04 After this, 'Pack Rat is included in The Configurator, so it has taken all of the features from TC's Trillian Advanced Settings.

PackRat update

Sat, 03 Oct 2005 04:24:00 GMT

PackRat - The second in a set of updates leading up to something else I'm working on. Strongly recommended that everyone update to this version. (Adds a semi-autoupdate feature along with some modifications of how it handles trillian.dtd.)

TrillKey 3.1.00

Sat, 01 Oct 2005 22:30:00 GMT

TrillKey - Minor bugfix to keep the DELAY command from causing 100 CPU usage on some systems.

The 'Pack Rat initial release

Wed, 27 Jun 2005 07:03:00 GMT

The 'Pack Rat is a Trillian SkinPack changer for Trillian versions 2.0 and above. Originally designed for a small app for skinners to include in their skins to set skinpacks to fit their skins, it has developed into useful little utility for end users as well. See the webpage for details.

Tomethicons initial release and some other stuff

Wed, 16 Feb 2005 04:27:00 GMT

I've finally released Tomethicons, an icon pack based on the public SVG icon set I've been working on for a few months. Along with this iconpack, I released an NSIS script for people to make installers for icon packs. Also, The Configurator was updated recently to add more features for icon packs.

The Configurator v 0.24.0

Sun, 26 Jan 2005 15:27:00 GMT

New version of The Configurator up. 0.24.0 adds icon pack settings for Trillian 3.0, as well as /stixe interface settings in the Trillian Advanced Settings dialog. It also enables the config button for skins that have a config utility of their own. (If Stixe Studio is present, it launches that for /stixe skins.)

TrillKey 3.00.01

Sun, 16 Jan 2005 23:40:00 GMT

New version of TrillKey up. Updated for Trillian 3.0. Added new features, updated documentation, etc.

BlueTurtle 2.0

Thu, 20 Aug 2004 01:53:00 GMT

I decided to put up a current version of BlueTurtle. It's just the zip of my current directory, so it isn't a finalized release, but this should help some people on 2.0 at least. Maybe if people send in bugs I might get motivated to finish it. :)

That's MASTER Tometheus

Thu, 20 Aug 2004 01:53:00 GMT

I got the official congratulation letter from the dean of the graduate college today saying I've completed the requirements for my Masters degree. (MS, Physics)

Configurator v0.23.0!

Fri, 28 May 2004 12:30:00 GMT

v0.23 adds external plugin file support

Also added a few more user interface enhancements (tabs get hidden, ctrl-tab works, etc)

Configurator: Mailing list

Tue, 10 Apr 2004 04:10:00 GMT

I added an actual mailing list (moderated) for The Configurator since Civillians lost all of the thread subscriptions in the last update. Next version of TC: Soon™

RanTings on NASA

Tue, 05 Feb 2004 14:15:00 GMT

NASA's decision to stop servicing the Hubble ticked me off, so there's a new RanTom Thought.

Configurator v0.22.4 official!

Configurator v0.21 uploaded!

Tue, 04 Feb 2004 02:30:00 GMT

Configurator v0.19 uploaded!

Tue, 04 Feb 2004 02:30:00 GMT

v0.19 is a major overhaul of the plugin system

A little website rearranging

Tue, 04 Feb 2004 02:30:00 GMT

I've done a bit of website rearranging.. moved SETi and BlueTurtle under my Trillian directory. Hopefully old links should still work. Also, I fixed the upload script and centralized it so all of the uploads should work. Also I changed The Configurator's feedback form to allow input from TC itself.

Configurator v0.18 uploaded!

Tue, 04 Feb 2004 02:30:00 GMT

After a couple of drive crashes and much stress, The Configurator finally has a new update out! v0.18 adds Advanced Settings features, and many other things

SETi Halloween / 2.01 update

Tue, 04 Feb 2004 02:30:00 GMT

Posted a new halloween update for SETi. Also I enabled 2.01 features (PNG files)

Skin Randomizer Plugin?

Tue, 04 Feb 2004 02:30:00 GMT

I posted a skin randomizer Trillian Pro plugin after someone requested it in the forums.

No updates?

Tue, 04 Feb 2004 02:30:00 GMT

For those wondering what's happening, yes, finals are done. I'm currently working on doing documentation writeup for The Configurator, so an official release should be coming up soon.

Configurator: Misc

Tue, 04 Feb 2004 02:30:00 GMT

The Configurator should work better with dark background (non-configurator) skins now. Added an MdXP2 configuration file!

Fixed Trillian profiles so they work with alternate settings locations. Also updated the webpage to have screenshots and a little more description.

Configurator: All done!

Tue, 04 Feb 2004 02:30:00 GMT

Finished everything on my list of bugs and features. Finals next week, so I'm taking a break. If people want to start talking it up in the forums and testing the shell out of it... all is goodness.

Configurator: Added Trillian Profiles

Tue, 04 Feb 2004 02:30:00 GMT

Added a trillian profiles section to the skins menu allowing you to show the skin set for a specific profile. Also added a new command line argument /trillprofile so you can launch it from a shortcut.

Tue, 04 Feb 2004 02:30:00 GMT

Tue, 04 Feb 2004 02:30:00 GMT

Added a new 'font' control type to TheConfigurator. Also, updated the microscopic .ini to use the new fully functional font control.

Microscopic Pro and SETi Configurator files fixed...

Tue, 04 Feb 2004 02:30:00 GMT
