Well, I'm proud of myself. :D
« on: March 20, 2007, 10:54:29 PM »
I just finished what I consider to be my first large (and useful) program. It's basically a program that tells you when any webcomics you specify update. The comics are added by an external text file that will allow most comics to be added as far as I know. And, to add to it all, I learned a ton while doing it.

Anyway, yay.

Link!

Oh, PS: You need the .NET 2.0 Framework.

Now I know more efficient ways of getting files off the internet! :D
Also multi-threading.

Nice.  I haven't tried it yet, but I like the concept.

Minor bugfix. Now it shouldn't ever come out of the tray.
EDIT: Nevemind, HUGE bug. Wait a sec.
EDIT AGAIN: Fixed. Though I have to implement error handling so it doesn't crash whenever something goes wrong. It was nice for debugging, though.

Ya know, I really hate my school's filter... Can someone put it up on Arena-Zone, or attach it please? Thanks.

Updated again. Now with error handling (and some amount of logging), so when a site goes down your program doesn't crash with it.

Main link updated, and here's an attachment. (Only called comicAlert_2 because comicAlert was taken.)

EDIT: Removed the hang when you first started it up, other bugfix.
EDIT: Removed the hang when you force an update.
EDIT: Icon updates!
EDIT: Fixed the stuff the icon updates broke.
