General Discussion / Do you hear what I hear?

In the first 10 seconds of this song, I know what I hear.

This song is by Pete Townshend: "Let My Love Open The Door"

I was in CVS the other day and this song started to play.  It instantly caught my attention, I almost dropped what I had in my hands.  My initial thought was "Good grief, someone remade THAT!  Of all things."

But no, the song is from 1980, which surprised me that it preceded the series by 7 years.  But I'm only referring to the first 10 seconds of it.

Q-Gears / qgears.sourceforge updates?

« on: 2012-07-26 23:38:02 »

I don't know what the status of webmastering for the qgears page is, but I would like to push some updates.  Spelling, release dates, and small things.  I have some spare time right now, and it seems to be an unfulfilled role. (?)

Version: 1.1
(March 26, 2007)

Now it would say version .21, June 27, 2012.

I see below the textbox where it says there are options for attachments, but I don't see how to upload them.  If I missed the absolute obvious, my apologies.

I also wrote a small update to the home page news page.  I added the following:

Q-Gears v0.21
Wed, 27 Jun 2012 20:11:53 GMT

Engine development continues. Added more background animations, optimized scrolling, scripting improvements, better handling of updates and debugging, smoother camera panning, jump capability has been fixed, and much more!

All I did was replicate the v.19 news item and re-write it.  It mentions RSS, so there may be an additional technical issue to completion.  This timing is based on Akari's forum posting, and I wrote this based on some of the not-so-technical items in the changelog.  The right sidebar for the news page is updated for the version and date, and the bottom original news posting had a misspelling.  No biggie.  I type much sloppier when I'm in a hurry myself, and I catch them later.  I saw the video for .21 and I smiled.  This is fantastic, what you're doing is great.  I can't do what you're doing, but I can do other things.

So with the forum rules that I didn't consider, the codes that I posted don't work as posted.  They do as I saved them.  I sent an email to Halkun asking him if he's interested in some light page updates, we'll see what he says.
