One month later

    Creating this new website was a big reminder of how many people still use VGEE to keep their Game Explorer looking like a work of art. The amount of traffic on this site during June was 3x as much as my older Googlepages websites.   In just over one month, I've had nearly 3000 unique visitors producing 18,000 hits, and 2.8GB of bandwidth used. The excellent statistics systems here have been able to provide me a lot greater detail as to where the...

New Website and VGEE Update

    If you use GooglePages or read tech blogs you've probably heard that the GooglePages service will soon be terminated, and sites migrated to Google Sites.

Another RSS Feed?

There are some out there who would like to be keptin the loop regarding how programming EE is going. I'll update this feed with features that I'm currently working on and challenges that I'm currently facing which are delaying my progress.   Standard users will not be very interested in the content of this feed, which is why I'm keeping it separate to the other feed (which will be used more when release is imminent). If you're a developer who can help with any issues I post here, feel free...
