Hello again! I’m back, again! The second trimester of my law degree is now complete and it is four months until the second year starts. Which means I have quite a lot of time to get v3 finished. I found the second trimester to be pretty stressful and to keep things manageable I only did … Continue reading QWv3 – I’m back…again
Hello, hello, hello! I’m back from my hiatus. First my apologies to everyone who I haven’t contacted recently. I do have a reason. In February I started a law degree and it’s been something of a wild ride. I had two aims going into my studies. First to put as much effort into the course … Continue reading QWv3 – I’m back
My apologies for not posting lately. I’ve been “crunching” to get things finished and some personal, real-life stuff has been getting in the way. For instance my air-conditioning broke a couple of weeks ago and we visited Melbourne for a few days, my wife has been ill and my son is due to have a … Continue reading QWv3 – Dev blog 22
One thing I constantly complain about to my long suffering wife, is “other people’s code”. I’m not alone in this, every programmer complains about all code that is not written by them. Your own code works, other people’s doesn’t, or is difficult to use, or is weirdly written or isn’t documented or one of 500 … Continue reading Why I’m returning to University, 25 years later
So good news, bad news… again. It’s been a couple of months since my last post. I haven’t been idle (never mind what my wife says!) I have been deliberately staying silent, trying to get all the features I need in place. In my last post I described how I was having to ditch Java … Continue reading QWv3 – Dev blog 18
It’s been a while since I did a dev blog. I’ve been experimenting with some JavaFX features and trying to determine the best way to do certain things. I’ve also come across some really strange design choices with JavaFX that I find puzzling but I won’t bore you with them here. The background image/color selector … Continue reading QWv3 – Dev blog 5
It’s been a while since the last update. Since then I’ve had a hard drive crash that put me out of commission for a few days but a new SSD, a reinstall of Windows 10 and some hard drive data jiggling and I’m back to it. In the last update I spoke about the popups … Continue reading QWv3 – Dev blog 4
I haven’t done an update for a while. This has been deliberate. Towards the end of 2018 I was working on modifying a project called LanguageTool so that it could be used in QW for spellchecking and other language rule checking. I finished modifying the project, you can find it here, in essence I removed … Continue reading Quoll Writer in 2019 – all change
I’ve been quiet for a while now with no updates. I haven’t been sitting on my thumbs though. As is often the case a lot is happening that you don’t see. First I’ve been working with Krzysztof, my Polish super hero friend (seriously he speaks and writes Polish there isn’t anything more badass than that), on … Continue reading What is currently happening with Quoll Writer
Version 2.7 is still progressing. The QW website has been changed over to support multiple languages and the User Guide has been reworked and revamped. At the moment I am finishing up the changes to QW itself to support website translations. A number of new features have been added to the strings editors such as … Continue reading Another update on version 2.7
