About
I'm Ryan Lowe, a Software Engineering graduate living in Ottawa, Canada. I like agile software development and Ruby on Rails.
I write this blog in Canadian English and don't use a spell checker. Typos happen.

Ok, so I redid that old project with XPFE (XUL, Javascript, CSS). This will be version 5.0, with at least the same functionality of the 4 series. It's a lot smoother and intuitive than its web page ancestor. Download it. Unzip it somewhere and open the XUL file in Mozilla. If you're wondering what all of this Quake name business is, here goes an attempt at explaining it. Every player in a game of Quake has a maximum 15 character ASCII name which usually entered in the menu of the game. When you use the menu you can only enter characters on the keyboard (less than half of the 256 in ASCII). You can also set your player's name in a startup script, where you can use all 256 ASCII characters. This small app generates those whacked out characters for this script. Fun eh? The next step is getting it integrated into Mozilla itself like the mail and chat clients. From what I've been reading, it shouldn't be too bad. </famousLastWords> Posted at November 02, 2002 at 03:04 AM ESTLast updated November 02, 2002 at 03:04 AM EST Comments
