I've been trying to get my little ciso front end to not show the ciso console application anymore. Now I can easily get the information to go directly into my program, but I don't want the user interface to stop working completely while you're compressing a 2GB image. I want it to show what it's doing.
I've tried getting the asynchronous reading function to work, and I can up to a point. It'll read it and return any info that I might want, but when it comes to adding something like a progress bar or even just a textual representation of it, it'll start reading and then just do nothing and get stuck. The debugger doesn't give any kind of error though...

Kamelot - Ghost Opera

Everwood - The Past is Alive

First usable project!

I've made my first project that can actually be used by other people!
Not that it's anything spectacular, it's merely a front-end for Booster's ciso compression utility.
I already have some ideas to improve on it, but I wanted to have something done for now, something that I could show off to my friends.

Whilst typing this message I have already discovered and fixed 2 bugs (I'm stupid, I know).
Try it, you will need .NET Framework 2.0, because that's what I use.

If you have any suggestions be sure to let me know!

Years and Years...

After years and years of putting it off and watching it halfway or just even a few episodes, I've finally gotten myself so far as to finish watching Tekkaman Blade (Teknoman).
It is awesome, it was back when I was 14 or so and saw the american version on tv here and it was awesome now! Even though it is a lot older then I remember and a lot of mistakes are made and at times it seems like a very low budget and almost badly written anime it is damn awesome.

I'm already usually a pretty big mecha fan, which is probably thanks to this show in the first place, but these are the pinnacle of mecha for me.

I don't know why it took me so long though...

At first I thought to give it an eight, because it's great, the story gets better the further the show progresses, even though they use some really cheap tricks to do it sometimes, but after having seen the Twin Blood special I must say that if it had been like that, the action and visual style and all, it would difinitely have gotten a 9 and seeing how the action could have been done I gave it a 7.

If you like mecha and you don't mind late 80s, early 90s style anime then this is definitely one you should watch!
