Big Outage

Hopefully the big outage that hit supermegaultragroovy.com these last few days didn't affect anyone too badly. I didn't get any purchases during the outage, so nobody got stuck waiting for my server to issue license keys. I fear that people may have...


Famous Last Words

"If I do not hear about any issues over the next week…" </p> <p> It does not take long for someone to figure out that electrical measurements got screwed up. Avoid beta 1 for now. I have the problem 99% solved and plan to put a build up soon. :...


Registration that doesn't suck

I spent quite a bit of time debugging the registration process users go through when they purchase FuzzMeasure. In the current situation, I mail users a standard plaintext email that contains a (pretty long) key that the user must copy & paste into...

Support Mail Issues

My mail server seems to have gotten stuck the last few days, and my fuzzmeasure support address did not deliver mails since the 16th of June. I feel pretty confident that I got all the mail out of the queue successfully, but if you haven't heard from...


Upgrades 12 Days Later

I have used the iBook for 12 days since I installed the RAM and HDD upgrades. I feel that I can now give a much better overall impression about how much better the notebook works, since shortly afterwards you really cannot "do everything" to see how...


Improved Smoothing

Just when I thought smoothing couldn't get better… </p> <p> I coded up three different smoothing algorithms for FuzzMeasure. Well, I actually used only two methods, but one method had two possible ways to implement it. Anyway, I wanted to use a fractional...
