Yes, some people still blog! I have a collection of random things I’ve written about, big and small, since 2001.

A Little Progress - Part 2
December 7, 2001
well done, man…
looks like we are close…
so far as i know, you will be the world’s first…
this is already definitely the first multi-browser uploader… and, that is COLOSSAL… and check replies to your previous posts when you get back… one of my questions summed to asking if it is safe to start uploading…
— insidious_plots
i cannot think of a SINGLE site that i have ever seen anywhere that allows uploads from all browsers…
it is just amazing…
this is a very big deal…
i just wanted to underscore that fact…
(and underscore is my middle name)
(ya’ know, insidious underscore plots…)
— insidious_plots

Oh yeah, upload away. The downloading still doesn’t work for the Dream browsers so you’ll still need planetweb to download, but it is safe to upload.

I'll keep trying
December 6, 2001

Tonight, once everyone goes to bed, and it’s just me and my newly fixed Dreamcast. I’m going to pull out my DreamKey, and I’m going to figure out how to upload, and download with the DreamKey. I AM NOT GOING TO SLEEP untill I figure this out!

It can’t be to hard to figure the upload process, it will use the STDIN in the perl enviroment like the one for planetweb, just the information is sent differently… in fact… I just thought of it. Maybe it is sent directly, without any decoding of any sort being done to the raw data. ooohhhhh…….

Oh please test... major break thru
December 6, 2001

Head to my website ( http://www.dreamserv-gaming.com/ (Dead Link) ), and try the uploader with DreamPassport or DreamKey. I modified the script and I think I’ve come up with something. (Don’t try downloading, that hasn’t been touched yet).

Please and thank you 🙂 🙂 🙂

um, dude?…
it seems to have worked…
now, i may scream for joy soon…

Kefka’s Tower Closing, Dreamserv-Gaming open
December 5, 2001

Just thought I’d let you know that Dreamserv-gaming is now open with it’s VMU Uploader/Renamer, and Kefka’s Tower is now closing.

I want to thank you for supporting Kefka’s Tower, a website made in July when we first broke out the script… the VMU Uploader I have at dreamserv-gaming also records the file size in blocks, and also the file name (the appears in the boot menu)… I also intend to install support to read the VMS header so you can also view the VMS Description which appears in the boot menu when viewing the saves on the site.

Request for Doug's Uploader
July 27, 2001
Could you add a second line when uploading for email address, and would it also be possible to click a button once you’ve uploaded a save previously to query a database so all you would have to do is put your name in? Like say I put my name as VampMan, email as VampMan@m…, and then next time, put my name in, and click a button so it fills my email addy in for me? Dunno, I’m just lazy, but I think you should definatly add the email address to it. 🙂 Also, are you making a stand alone uploader, or are you planning on working it into your forums? Or both even… Keep up the good work guys.
— VampMan

Yeah, I’ll add the e-mail line soon. This is going to be seperate from the forums, and I’ll see about making it auto-log your info (I dont want to force a username password situation… I’ll see what I can pull around)!
