Update: JCOM - SPC v1.9
Omigosh! First update in over 2 years!
Fixed a MAJOR bug with the wave recorder.  It just stopped working.  For some reason I had written some idiotic code and as I hardly use the wave recorder I never noticed the bug creep in.

General: 10'000 hits!
(thankyou image pending)
Still not dead.  According to the stats over at ShortUrl.com, JCOM Computer Productions has passed the 10 thousand hit mark!  I'm working on a few things that will eventually find their way here, including most of my half finished and half started projects.  In the meantime, enjoy this little dosmode proggie that I made back in the mists of time.  It isn't zipped up so some browsers might complain a little when you try to download it.

Download: Warped3.exe

On another note, I have decided to take down the forum.  Nobody but spammers were using it and I don't get that much bandwidth to play with. T_T

General:
JCOM C.P. is not dead, just in a slight hibernation.  I have had so many things to do I haven't been able to think straight sometimes and now I have discovered Eve Online.  If theres one thing to suck away your free time, its an MMORPG! ^_^

Anyhow, if I can keep my most attention on one project I may have some proper news for you all.  Oh by the way, according to the stats at ShortUrl JCOM C.P. has recived over 8000 hits since creation and recived on average over 170 hits a month.  If we reach that big one oh oh oh oh I might try to work up the effort and whip up something in return for your interst, I would have never thought that my little site would recive as much interest as it has been.  Thanks Guys! ^_^

Site: New feature
Over the years I have downloaded a great deal of stuff. Now that I can I feel I should give something back to the Internet community.  That is why I have decided to offer nearly all that I have downloaded, for download!  Just cast your eyes over to the menubar on the left and you shall see the status indicator for the new 'l33t stuphs3rv3r'.  enjoy! ^_^

Site: Section change
The VB section is dead!  Long live the 'My l33t c0d1ng sk1llz' section.  The name change is in anticipation for non Visual Basic material.

Site: New forum and provider
Moved site to PlusNet and upgraded the forum to a nice shiny new phpBB one!

First update of the year!

JCOM - SPC: Update to v1.8
Added RSN support. Requires unrar.dll (supplied)

A small update on my birthday (I'm 22 now ^_^)

Site: Misc changes
If you haven't noticed by now I have finally finished the GFX for the sidebar and I have introduced the Anime and Manga Artist links page.  Those pages are some of the sites that I have collected nearly 8000 images from in over 3 years!  Enjoy! ^_^

JCOM - SPC: Update to v1.71
Upgraded SPC interface allowing use of latest SNES_APU cores
Only the left mouse button should operate the buttons - Fixed

General: WIP, Yu-Gi-Oh! Deck Manager
Just saying that this hasn't been forgotten, just that work on it is progressing at the speed of a athritic totoise with a Zimmer frame. As proof take a look at this screenshot.

Site: New Hosting
Thanks to my good friend David Kirkbride, this site now resides on his new server. Enjoy the bannerless browsing while it lasts!

General: WIP, Yu-Gi-Oh! Deck Manager
Development on JCOM - SPC has taken a break for the summer in favour of my latest project, a application which allows you to organise and keep track of youre collection of Yu-Gi-Oh! cards.  The finished app will sport the following features (hopefully, items in bold are allready done):

Libary Section (this is where you can quickly look up any card in the libary and add it to you card stock):

• Add, edit copy and delete cards
• Sort cards by various means (Name, level, attribute, etc)
• The ability to use scanned images of individual cards, however they are not required for operation
• Import and export cards from and to a external libary for easy distribution
• A search function

Card stock section (this is where you keep track of all the cards you own):

• Add, duplicate and remove cards from your stock
• Export you stock to a text file for printout, email, web, etc.

And finaly the Deck section, where you can build you deck from the cards in your stock:

• Add, remove and duplicate cards in your main, side and fusion decks.
• Save and load your deck so you can build seperate decks for all occasions.
• Export your deck to a text file so bragging about your latest Dragon or beatdown deck requires a lot less typing out and risk of typos.

Take a look at the following screenshots which show the libary screen and the card edit dialouge.

Added: News archive page

Old news will now go in here, the link is at the top of this page under the graphic, nuff said! ;)

VB stuff
UPDATED: Remote control source code

The code now no longer needs the external file RMRCCodes.dat as I have devised a different method of detecting the button codes.

JCOM-SPC
Uptated: JCOM - SPC v1.7

Nothing terribly earthshattering:
JCOM - SPC finaly now reports the proper OST track number!
Re-fixed small bug that could cause a memory leak :)
Fixed a bug where after about 110 mins of playing the same SPC JCOM-SPC would crash.
Slightly more efficient remote control code

Added: Remote control source code

Tah Dahh!  Here it is, the source code for accessing the REALmagic DVD remote control from Visual Basic!  Finding information on how to access it is quite difficult (at least for me!) so this little snipped of code can add remote control functionality to nearly any visual basic project! Fing it in the VB page.

Updated: JCOM - SPC v1.667

Just a small bugfix release:

Fixed a small bug that could cause a memory leak
Fixed a bug where the time display woulden't clear itself
