User logged in reporting error   March 1st, 2008

There is an error in the latest version (and probably all versions of TLA) in the logged-in user component.
TLA reports that the user running TLA is the person logged in on the remote computer. This is known to at least affect Vista, and possibly XP.
I believe it’s due to the fast-user switching. I’ll have to research it.
In short, don’t be alarmed if you see your name show up as logged in to the remote computer:)

More toubles with .5.x release   November 21st, 2007

This is turning out to be a terrible release - the .5.x series. Is .5 and the number 13 related somehow?
the current version, .5.1 has a bug in it that was no previously a bug. .5.1 reports an inaccurate uptime. So inaccurate, it takes place in the future! The uptime returns 0 days and says the computer has been up since sometime in the future.

I haven’t had a chance to look at the code but I will after the holiday (Thanksgiving in America this weekend).

RSS feature woes   March 11th, 2007

I was all set to release TLA .3 this week, when doing the final testing I realized that the RSS newsreader required another ocx file. TLA has always been a portable app and I intend to keep it that way. I’m not sure if I can work around this problem or not, but if I can’t, I’m going to take out all of the RSS code for a later release. Stay tuned…
