What happened to early November?

november, december, delays, beta and 2 more...
As some of you may have noticed, early November has come and gone with no release. OK, I'll admit it: it's nearly December. I knew I shouldn't have made any promises concerning a release date, as there was a good chance I'd run in to the problems I am running into now. First, finding some way to download the update with a progress bar and...

One more beta?

beta, 1.0, 0.4, unready and 1 more...
I know this may come as a disappointment to some of you, but I am considering releasing one more beta before the stable release. Why, you ask? In one of my previous posts, I stated that I did not want to leave beta until I saw the software as fully ready for easy usage by the general public. From what I am seeing with my work on the next version, it might...

Problems with 1.0

Posted by dstrout, in Development Updates 20 October 2011 - - - - - - · 143 views
problems, delays, update
Version 1.0 is still under construction. I cannot dedicate as much time to it as I would like, but it is progressing. Unfortunately, I have hit a snag in development: many antivirus solutions consider AutoIt executables dangerous, even though they are not. I could proceed anyway and just put in a warning about the false positives, but I want users to have...

File Size Increase in 1.0

Posted by dstrout, in Development Updates 13 October 2011 - - - - - - · 93 views
filesize, increase
The current version of Login Learner, version 0.3, is about 36kb in size. This is a tiny program. This size is achievable because it is an HTML application (more on HTML apps here). However, the next version of Login Learner will bring a considerable increase in the program...

Calling all Designers

Posted by dstrout, in Other 11 October 2011 - * * * * - · 96 views
designer, icon, logo, design
With Login Learner leaving beta soon, I would like to give it its own icon. Sadly, I am completely inept when it comes to designing, so if there is anyone out there who could design an icon for Login Learner, it would be much appreciated. Please either leave a comment with a link to your icon design, or e-mail it to software [at] dstrout.net. If possible,...

Leaving Beta Soon

Posted by dstrout, in Development Updates 09 October 2011 - - - - - - · 50 views
beta, 1.0, development and 2 more...
I am working on the next version of Login Learner, which I believe will be version 1.0, the first non-beta version. For me, beta is a status assigned to programs that are not ready for the average user to use. With the upcoming version, I believe Login Learner will be a completed product that parents can use. Version 1.0 will not make any changes to...

Introduction to Login Learner

Posted by dstrout, in Other 08 October 2011 - - - - - - · 76 views
login learner, introduction and 2 more...
Welcome to Login Learner! LL is a free app I am developing at marko's suggestion which allows parents to set up a "login screen" of sorts that their children must go through to access the computer. Rather than a password, however, LL requires solving several problems, mainly mathematics problems for now. There are not many programs like this...
