OK so you're developing a new protocol? Have you planned this protocol and how will it work and how exactly will you instant message people with this thing? Sounds like good ideas but i think you asking for more programmers surely shows that you're not too sure on how to create this protocol.

Do you have any idea what it means if you develop a whole new protocol?

Think about security, error handling, buffering, etc, etc. You can never be sure that messages reach the other side or even in the right order. Seriously, I wouldn't even consider making a new protocol.

Just take an existing protocol, Jabber would be a good one since it is open I believe.

The point is to have a different ( than PMing ) way contacting someone! With this program or with whatever else, nothing will result to if nobody uses it! Maybe we should improve PMing by making it something a bit more instant! :unsure: I say this because as the people above me said programming a new protocol isn't easy at all! :(

What language? Im relitivly profecient with Local VB (as in i havent done any web based VB, ive only seen it done.) Do you have a paticular languae made up? Or are you going to use SQL with a VB like GUI? Im willing to sign up for programming, depending on the language.

SQL is not a programming language... it's a query language.

hey jase i thought it was cancled becuse last time i checed or tryed this it was shtdown becuse nobody waned it

but any way this messenger needs to be coded to fit any IPB forum but there should be locked in links for neowin lol

ok and heres how it works

to connect and get your contact list it uses the data on ipb but when you login it also uploads your ip so when you chat to someone its a stright connection

offline messages are just the pm

the chat area would just have to be someother forum thing idk

and yeh jase knows all that so best of luck jase

...

a Neowin messenger called iMessenger... which lets you browse forums... and contains flash... and uses Neowin Message board PMs - surely then you'll need access to the Neowin database = not gonna happen.

Have you done any thinking about this project?

oh, you're coding it in VB? good luck

I could write a messenger for neowin easily, but there would need to be a program hosted on neowin.net or someones personal webspace.... hang on I have some website

ill be right back

EDIT: What am I talking about... it cannot be hosted on my personal webspace because the host program would need to be running 24/7. If anyone is up for this on a fast internet connection it would be grand. They would only need to donate the bandwidth for the sign on's and sign / offs as the chat can be IP to IP

I could also GPL the code so you can be sure in your mind that nothing dodgy is going on

      By Max Norris · Posted

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
