Transport Tycoon.co.uk forums and owenrudge.co.uk TT forum merging
Filed under: — orudge @ 27/10/2002 12:00 am
The Transport Tycoon.co.uk forums and owenrudge.co.uk TT forum will be merging soon to form the Transport Tycoon Forums. This will be an independent forum site where Transport Tycoon fans can meet and discuss the game, get help with problems, and have a general talk about anything. The forums should be up within a week or so – when this happens, the owenrudge.co.uk Transport Tycoon forum will be locked and a link will be placed to the new site. Keep checking the site for new developments!
TTDAlter 4.0.8 Beta released
Filed under: — orudge @ 18/10/2002 12:00 am
I have released version 4.0.8 beta of TTDAlter. This is a patch which fixes a saving bug that sometimes occurred with non-English versions of TTD. It is highly recommended that you get this update, which requires TTDAlter 4.0.6 beta. Click here for more information. (In case anyone was wondering, I didn’t jump from version 4.0.6 to 4.0.7, but briefly released version 4.0.7 beta, which half-fixed this problem – I hadn’t had a chance to update the web site though. The next day I discovered the problem still partially existed and so released 4.0.8 beta).
And the September award goes to…
Filed under: — orudge @ 02/10/2002 12:00 am
… TV Home and the accompanying TV Forum. A great site full of UK television idents, and a great set of forums to go with it. Click here for more information. Also, at some point soon, owenrudge.co.uk will receive a new design, and will be rebranded as owenrudge.net. One new feature will be a new download system – I already have two US mirrors and a French mirror. If you could provide a mirror, please e-mail me to discuss the matter. In other news, MP3Violation.com, a comedy MP3 sharing site, is now part of the Owen Rudge Network. Keep an eye out for future developments.
The current poll…
Filed under: — orudge @ 09/09/2002 12:00 am
I go away for two days and look what happens… the votes on my poll seem to rocket in favour of Linux. Why? Someone posted a link to this site on comp.os.linux.advocacy, and various people noticed that the poll system did not check IP addresses to see if you’ve voted (it does now). So several people write scripts, and up goes the votes… Ah well, the threads ("Yet another on-line OS poll" and "Small poll on OS usage") made for interesting reading.
Site updates
Filed under: — orudge @ 04/09/2002 12:00 am
I have been very busy these past few months, and still am now. Anyway, I’ve awarded the August award to Guess The Dictator or Sit-Com Character, a brilliant site which will keep you busy for ages! I’ve also fixed the link to the guestbook and upgraded it – please do sign it!
The old Britney Spears poll has been changed. The majority of people weren’t huge fans of Britney Spears in any way, while a number of people liked her looks but not their music. Some others liked her music but not her looks, and some liked everything about her. Click here to view the full results. The new poll is about your computer – what operating system are you running? At the time of writing, the results are quite interesting – the majority of voters are using Mac OS X, with 27% of the votes, followed by Windows XP with 22%. Is this just because Windows users aren’t voting, or are Macs becoming more popular these days? Be sure to place your vote!
In August, The Melissa Zone Forums launched, replacing the Melissa Joan Hart forum at the owenrudge.co.uk Forums. If you are a Melissa Joan Hart fan, or a fan of her TV series’, movies and so on, check it out! The Melissa Zone itself will be launching in the coming months.
I have also uploaded some more screenshots to DesktopShots. Finally, I have released TTDAlter 4.0.6, which features support for industry editing in TTD. It also supports the loading of VEHICLE.DAT files. If you have a previous version of TTDAlter, upgrade now! If you don’t have TTDAlter but enjoy playing TTD, check this out! PS: If you have had a strange problem with some browsers where all the content appears half-way down the page instead of where it should be, this should now be fixed. If you still experience problems, please e-mail me.
TTDAlter 4.0.5 Beta patch released
Filed under: — orudge @ 11/08/2002 12:00 am
I have released a small patch for TTDAlter 4.0 Beta. This contains several new features and updates. Click here for more information and to download the patch.
And the June and July awards go to…
Filed under: — orudge @ 10/08/2002 12:00 am
… The Transport Tycoon Semi-FAQ and Mandrake Linux. Click here to go to the Awards page. Also, I have now "officially" stopped OSPlus development, although I will still do work on the Disk Imager and Text Editor when I can. Click here for more information.
TTDAlter 4.0 Beta released!
Filed under: — orudge @ 09/08/2002 12:00 am
Sorry for the lack of updates over the past couple of months, but I was on holiday for most of July then a BIOS flash operation went wrong and I was without my main computer until Wednesday. On the positive side, I now have a nice fast new computer, and I bought a new 60GB HD yesterday. Anyway, TTDAlter 4.0 Beta has been released – click here to find out more. I’ll award the Site of the Month, etc, tomorrow, or whenever I have time – Windows just corrupted my registry and restored everything to how it was this morning, when I hadn’t even installed any drivers… *sigh*
Loads of new screenshots uploaded to DesktopShots
Filed under: — orudge @ 15/06/2002 12:00 am
I’ve uploaded over 20 new screenshots to DesktopShots (no, they haven’t all been waiting months in my mailbox!) – check them out!
And the May award goes to…
Filed under: — orudge @ 04/06/2002 12:00 am
… the Microsoft Software Forum Network – an excellent set of forums providing you with helpful support and hints. Click here to go to the Awards page. On another note, I have finally got around to uploading some more screenshots to DesktopShots. Finally, remember to check out the new forums!
New forums!
Filed under: — orudge @ 20/05/2002 12:00 am
I have set up some new forums to replace the old UltraBoard 2000 system. These new forums are much better, and have a number of new, improved and extra features. The old posts and user accounts have been retained and migrated – you should have received an e-mail about your user account: please note that your password has changed. If you have a direct link to the UltraBoard forums, please change this to www.owenrudge.co.uk/forums/. Click here to go to the forums! By the way, I’ll have some new DesktopShots screenshots up soon – I’m in the middle of exams and so on and am very busy right now. Also, owenrudge.co.uk has almost had 100,000 hits! By the time you read this, it probably will be past there already! Thanks to all my visitors!
And the April award goes to…
Filed under: — orudge @ 02/05/2002 12:00 am
… er, I haven’t decided yet. /me makes up his mind quickly… HowStuffWorks! A very interesting site describing how many things work. Go to the Awards page. I have also uploaded a number of new screenshots to DesktopShots – check them out! Also, TTD fans may be pleased to know that I will upload some saved games of my recent (well, not so recent now…) desert and arctic games soon.
I’m still alive!
Filed under: — orudge @ 27/04/2002 12:00 am
There haven’t been many updates recently, but I’m still around, just very busy! Expect some DesktopShots updates as soon as I can get around to uploading them. On another note, RollerCoaster Tycoon II has just been announced. Maybe Transport Tycoon II is the other project Chris Sawyer is working on… Finally, I have created a new page about the new version of TTDAlter I am developing.
Star Wars Animation Player and owenrudge.co.uk Screensaver Released!
Filed under: — orudge @ 05/04/2002 12:00 am
I have released a new version of my Star Wars Animation Player that works on Windows, DOS, SEAL 1.x and SEAL 2.x – check it out! I have also released an owenrudge.co.uk Screensaver, for Windows and SEAL 2.x. On another note, I’ve uploaded some more screenshots to DesktopShots. Finally, there was a problem with the new version of the Advanced Guestbook script that meant nobody could sign the guestbook, so I’ve gone back to the old version, which is a shame, as the new version was a lot better, but ah well…
Updated poll and guestbook scripts, plus a new poll
Filed under: — orudge @ 23/03/2002 12:00 am
I have downloaded and installed the latest versions of the Advanced Guestbook and Advanced Poll scripts, both of which have several new features which were not in the versions I was using. If you’ve visited the guestbook before in particular, you will notice a number of new features.
A new poll has been started about Britney Spears. What do you think of her? Personally, I like her, but do you? Cast your vote now! For the results of the old poll, click here.
New screenshots at DesktopShots, plus new site on the horizon
Filed under: — orudge @ 22/03/2002 12:00 am
There are several new screenshots at DesktopShots, including an interesting new animated one, and a few Mac OS X shots. Check them out! Also, in the future I plan to start a new Melissa Joan Hart web site entitled "The Melissa Zone", which will be a great dynamic site about Melissa, with various innovative and exciting new features – check the later pages of this thread on the forums for more information. I will of course keep you updated as things progress with the site. Finally, I have fixed various problems that have cropped up with the site. Some incorrect image links in the OSPlus section have been corrected. Also, you may have had difficulty rating pages or doing certain other things – this is because permissions were reset on various files so the files couldn’t be written to, causing problems. This has been fixed too.
Transport Tycoon Saved Game Manager 2.2 released!
Filed under: — orudge @ 14/03/2002 1:00 am
Version 2.2 of the Transport Tycoon Saved Game Manager has been released! This version is a lot faster than previous versions, and contains various other enhancements and bug fixes. If you play Transport Tycoon, download this! Work has now begun on what might become Transport Tycoon Saved Game Manager 3.0, which may have an Explorer-like interface – check back in the future for more information!
Updates to DesktopShots, the Transport Tycoon Station, and more
Filed under: — orudge @ 12:00 am
I’ve been very busy recently, which is the reason why this site hasn’t been updated as often as I would have liked. Anyway, there are some new screenshots at DesktopShots. I have also uploaded some new saved games to the Transport Tycoon Station, with more to come. Speaking of TT, version 2.2 of the Saved Game Manager will be out soon. On another note, I’ve awarded the February 2002 site award to The Sabrina Transcripts, a site with transcripts of series 1-5 of Sabrina The Teenage Witch (with season 6 coming soon). If you’re a Sabrina fan, check it out! Finally, a little note: if you’ve been trying to get to www.transporttycoon.uk.tt, www.savedgamemanager.uk.tt or www.gamearchive.uk.tt and have had problems, then the reason for this is that a new company is taking control of the .tt TLD, and services are a bit disrupted while this is going on – please bear with me.
GEM Workshop updates
Filed under: — orudge @ 16/02/2002 12:00 am
Long time no see… The reason for the lack of updates recently is because I’m quite busy these days. Right now, I’m busy working on another site, MP3Violation.com, which launches on the 1st March. Be sure to check it out! Anyway, back to owenrudge.co.uk. I’ve updated various pages in the GEM Workshop, including the Screenshots and GEMP3 page. I’ve also updated the Links page. PS: Keep sending in those screenshots for DesktopShots!
And the January award goes to…
