KEscPos, SKipper & Reorganized Software Downloads

It's about time for the first KLog entry in 2010, isn't it? ;-) 
 
Well, it isn't like I'd have been inactive during this time, so I've some interesting updates for you all. One of them is object oriented version of my ESC/POS printer driver for PHP. Community members already got the source code and functions/class reference from the forums, but now I've built *.tar packages for download from the site. Another would be SKipper, the bookkeeping/finance log program I'm developing for PHP-GTK. 
 
For all photography-fans who have access to private images: there is new image material from Saas Fee, Rapperswil and some more of the pantherines. 
 
Last but not least I've reorganized the software download area. It was a bit messy, from back where the server access ran on terrasco.net Desktop Suite. But now it's well structured, and the private and public software downloads are of a congruent layout.  
 
Another KX-Files Update

Yeah, another fix: the XFI type 'time' didn't resolve properly. We are at version 1.0.2 now, and I've updated both distributions of KX-Base with it. 
 
KX-Files & KX-Base v1.0.1
 
Author: Kovu | Date: Oct 16 2009, 20:23:08 CEST
 
Alright, this is the first upgrade for KX-Files and software that depends on it: KX-Files v1.0.1. The KXFI error dialog has been fixed and a new Gtk widget was added - GtkDateEntry(). GtkDateEntry() creates 3 GtkEntries that are bound to a X-Files date cell. It automatically sets callbacks and rules for the entries. Along with that I have an update on KX-Base for you. Some bugs had to be fixed (such as Ctrl+C being used for closing files, which disallows to copy values from the table to your clipboard) and the package comes with KX-Files v1.0.1 now. 
 
KX-Files Released!

Kovu proudly presents: KX-Files, the database solution for everyone! 
 
Right, the first public version of my X-Files DB platform, called KX-Files, is available for download now. I managed to do some final testing and finished the GUI based editor KX-Base by now. Don't forget we have a support forum for all KX-Files matters on our community! 
 
Gallery Update

Click to EnlargeThere's new public photo material to view. We went to lake Geneva to see Alinghi's answer on BMW Oracle's trial to "win an America's Cup through court". And it's quite impressive, in fact, one doesn't really believe it if he hasn't seen it: Alinghi 5, a gigantic, 90ft catamaran. Something like this has never been built before. Further, there's new photos of the cats, and some shots from the Rhône glacier: 
 
X-Files for Everyone

Right! 
 
'X-Files', the PHP-based database platform developed by me (current version: 3.3 '3volution') takes another next-generation step. Not much more than a year after the development of X-Files 3, I've started with coding KX-Files. Correct, it's not X-Files 4, as you'd most likely expect, it's KX-Files. Why? KX-Files uses the X-Files 3-DB-file *.xf3, but differs in technology. KX-Files is, unlike all earlier X-Files versions, object oriented, which will differ a lot in handling and function calls. Additionally, I'm planning to implement predefined widgets for PHP-GTK, which will automatically be connected to the database. 
 
Another novum about KX-Files is that it will be available for everyone (non-commercial projects), unlike the availability restrictions bound to versions 1-3, which I made available to friends and project partners only. 
 
A release date is not yet known. But I'll try to keep you up-to-date about this project through the community.
X-Files Database 3.3 Released
 
Author: Kovu | Date: Apr 03 2009, 21:29:13 CEST
 
For all those who are working with my X-Files Database platform: version 3.3 is available for download now. As usual, I packed it up with the X-Files 3volution editor, which you get from the download area when you're logged in. The older versions of X-Files 3 are still available, of course, if you're experiencing any compatibility problems. Further, I've updated the online-function reference with the insert_xfi_row() instructions.
