02/06/01 Finally Updated
My many many apologies for such a huge delay for the release of LLMSv2, I have been occupied with University and so had to put development on the backburner. But, I'm back with avengeance. LLMSv2 Alpha is now released as GLLMS, and is now under the GPL (I am really looking for people interested in helping out, if you're interested, let me know). I've also got a new webhost, easily.co.uk, who have always had the domain name, but the site is now hosted there. For this, I've rewritten parts of the site, making it a bit more dynamic. Should work better in Netscape now too, it had a few problems before.
30/08/00 Added Adverts
I joined a few banner exchange and affiliate programs to hopefully get some further promotion for the site. If you intend to buy books from Amazon, please use the links at the bottom to help support this site. Look out for an alpha release of LLMSv2 soon, to showcase the new database layout.
05/08/00 BTinternet mirror
There is now a mirror hosted at btinternet.com. This mirror gives me a nice lot of space, so I may make it my main site (www.seansoft.co.uk) I have also changed from the xtreme.dm stats to nedstat (because extreme is not HTML 4.0 compliant :( )
03/08/00 SeanSoft.co.uk domain
I have now registered the SeanSoft.co.uk domain name. Please now use this address for accessing the page. Also, our email address is now support@seansoft.co.uk. I have uploaded to the new server a work-in-progress manual for LLMS V2. This gives an idea of the general structure of the new Media Items, a key feature of the new release. Check it out here
01/08/00 Steady Progress and a new mirror
LLMS V2 is progressing nicely, I've added a lot of new features. The database is far better laid out now. I am currently working on the browse features, then I'll write some code to import old LLMS databases and I'll release what I have so far for some feedback. There is now a new mirror of the page at www.seansoft.uklinux.net with the 2 main downloads
08/07/00 Update (At Last!!)
With University I haven't had the chance to work on my programs much. But, the year has ended and so now it's time to put to good use what I've learnt! Since I've had so many suggestions for new features for LLMS, I am now going to start work on LLMS V2, a complete rewrite from the ground up, with loads of new features and faster database code. So, now is the time to let me know if there's anything you'd really like to see. Post your suggestions to the new forum I've set up, also post there if you have a problem that you need fixed or find a bug. If you would like to know when new releases are available, join the mailing list. Along with updating the page to use better tables, is added a ToDo section, where details of plans and bugs can be found. Hope you like it!
09/09/99 New MP3Catalog + Name Change
MP3Catalog has gone through a name change, and is now called AudioCatalog. This is due to a conflict in names between mine and another program, and the addition of support for CD Audio and custom search patterns (eg now search for wav, mid, etc). Also added in this version, fully customisable output templates, support for Extended M3U, CDPlayer.ini import and reference.
30/08/99 Added Richtx32 To Required Files
If you get an unexpected error while trying to create a data file or mail merge, try downloading this file and placing it in your windows\system directory.
29/08/99 New Version of LLMS
I have uploaded the new version of my Library Loan Management System, now featuring Multiple copy support. Also added multi language support. Currently there are no other languages, but I'm looking for people interested in translating to their language. Please contact me if you intend to do so. Translating is relatively straightforward, just changing the captions in a text file.
24/08/99 Changed page for Netscape Browsers and updated Menu
After updating the page to use cascading style sheets, I noticed that there were some display problems in Netscape that made it look ugly. Hopefully, these are now fixed. If you use Netscape as your browser and you have visited the page before, please be sure to reload the pages you have visited. I also added MP3Catalog and LLMS to the menu on the left. The SeanSoft web page now fully conforms to the HTML 4.0 Standard, and has completely valid CSS, which is what the new icons at the top mean. Look out for a new version of LLMS soon, featuring multiple copies and multi-language support
16/08/99 New Library Management System and MP3Catalog
There is a new version of the LLMS system available, with better backup/restore and additional book information fields. There is also a new MP3Catalog with many new features, including ID3v2 support, and ID3v2 viewer, automatic display of associated pictures (either from the ID3v2 tag or from a directory), custom icons, Tip of the day, and many more. The Website is also modified so the pages now use style sheets, and there are seperate pages for MP3Catalog and LLMS.
05/08/99 New Library Management System
Fix for error message like VBAJET16.dll or VBAJET32.dll uploaded.
31/07/99 New Library Management System
New version of the Library Loan Management System with improved mail merge facilities.
23/07/99 New Mirror Established
The Library Loan Management System is now also mirrored at Crosswinds
22/07/99 New Library Management System Available
Yet another new version, this time there are cosmetic changes to the menus, and teachers can now browse both users and cards. When browsing users, extra details are given (eg when a card is overdue, it says so) and card expiry dates are now shown by default. Users can now get information about themselves, which tells them if their card has expired and if they have overdue books.
21/07/99 New Library Management System Available
There is a new version of the Library Management System available, which adds address and phone number fields, and includes various bug fixes.
18/07/99 MP3Catalog is here
I finally got around to put this in a zip and post it here. Check out the downloads page for a list of features and to find out what it does.
17/07/99 New Library Loan Management System
There is a new version of the Library program available. I have also mirrored it at Xoom for possibly faster downloads. There is now a full setup version available, including all runtime files needed. If you have problems with the other version, then try this. Theres a few new features as well. MP3Catalog should be here over the weekend.
13/07/99 DAO Fix
If you get an error message reporting "Error# 429. Activex component can't create object" when running the Library Loan Management System, then I have traced this down to not having Microsoft DAO installed. This can now be downloaded from the downloads page. I am now working on making installation scripts for the programs, and MP3Catalog should come soon with that.
06/07/99 Mirrored Downloads!
There were some reports of trouble downloading. I am now working to mirror most of the files on Simtel.net. So far, the Library Loan Management System is ready, hold on for the others. I also updated the downloads page to include file sizes. Still working on the MP3 Catalog, stay tuned.
29/06/99 Page Updated (At last)
I've finally finished school so now the page will be updated more frequently. The first update is a new version of the library management system, and this time it's unrestricted. Coming Soon SeanSoft MP3 Catalog. This program searches directories for MP3 files, analyses them by their ID3 tag or filename, and then adds them to an easily browsable database. Supports exporting to various formats (TXT, M3U, PLS, HTML, SMP3DB), the latter being a custom format so you can open catalogs later to check for MP3 files available. Ideal for keeping track of MP3 stored on removable media (ie a CD-Rom). Communication with Winamp through IPC is also supported. It'll be up as soon as I get it together to distribute it. Look out for it soon.
28/08/98 Downloads Uploaded!
Well, I sorted out the files for Download. They are now available.
27/08/98 SeanSoft Page Online!
I finally got around to making a web page for myself. Hope you like it. Please Note: Not all of the Downloads work yet. They should be up properly soon.
