The project makes use of the entire Gravatar API to provide .Net support. It’s a great attempt to add the widely used avatar system to .Net. Probably the project so far.

I do plan on finishing my UStream.Tv software as well. They changed the REST API up on me and even changed the API Key system and keys, so I have to rewrite my wrapper for their API

We’re going to offer user accounts that allow syncing of your streams/favorites to our servers for easy retrieval from any system. Live notifications of when you’re favorite streams are online and broadcasting and email notification if you’re software isn’t running.

We’re working hard on core functionality and at the same time trying to update the UI to a more eye-pleasing experience.

The last version I was more worried about snaz and fancy features. This version is more focused on stability and usability. uStreamer sounds a little funny, so I’ve decided to change the name while rewriting the application. iStream seemed like a good choice.

Since I switched and think everyone should enjoy unlimited services at an awesome price I’ve going to give you an AWESOME deal!

Here lately I’ve been running Ubuntu. Why? I want to start porting my Windows software and projects over to Linux. And Mac for that matter. How? MONO. Mono allows you develope software capable of running on not only Linux and Windows, but also for Mac! It’s awesome. Granted, not everyone uses or even knows what MONO is. So if you’re one of those people then I suggest Google! lol.

I also love the fact I can customize EVERYTHING that I want to. Login, looks, feel, features, etc. I can recode any part of the kernel or desktop that I want. That makes it 100% mine! And that I love!

Other thing Ubuntu I just use plain ole Vista and Visual Studio 2008. I also have Windows 7 installed with Visual Studio 2010 installed.  VS-2010 is awesome. EXCEPT it doesn’t support the flash control at ALL!

I have been very busy working and have neglected some of my projects. I will be working on them though. I REALLY want to get uStreamer out of beta stage fast.

• User/Channel Search
• Favorites
• Single View w/Resize
• Multi-View (up to 4 streams)
• Twitter Integration
• Retrieve User/Channel Information
• Start Chat (uses default installed IRC client or webchat)

There are limits on daily usage, thanks to ustream! But no worries. I’ve signed up for 10 ustream accounts and received 10 API keys. The keys will be used randomly based on load so that there is never interruption.

I’ll write more later, playing with it a little more before I go ranting.

First we have to make a reference. We must use the ‘protected’ keyword. I use the same name as the windows form that way it is easy to keep track of variables.

Once that is done you must set each method and object you want to access to public. You do this from the Forms Designer Class.

And that’s it. With just 2 lines of code you can now access you forms controls and methods.

[Sorry for the images of the code, my code-box plugin is broken]

I haven’t completly neglected the site. I’ll post some code tutorials tonight on a few more hashing techniques and string encryption. I will also be posting soon a tutorial on how to control a forms events and controls from within a different class. Unlike VB.NET, C# does not automatically inherit the forms methods and control methods.

I’ll also talk about obfuscation and .Net application security, secure string and anti-debugging methods.

cheatSense or in a shorter way: cSense, as said before will start on the game DF:BHD (version 1.5). cSense wants to be involved with the community as much as possible. We invite you to visit us here, and share us your ideas, shareyour views. One thing we will guarantee you all here now is that we will listen, we will read what you write down here.We will answer where we can. But not just will we welcome your views and answer your questions, we will also provide you with frequent updates. Not just software related updates for our ACP clients, but we’ll also provide you with updates on the progress of all those clients and upcoming releases. 

We come from all over. Our staff is small, however it’s efficient and has a huge variety which makes sure we don’t just listen to one voice in the community, we tend to listen to everyone. Now when we’re speaking about our staff. At this point we’re willing to accept various staff applications for various things such as ‘beta-testers/support-staff’ and ‘coding-staff’. However this does not mean we are in the ‘need’ of staff. Our current staff can work very well and the progress is great. However we appreciate new staff applications.

So what do you know now? You know cSense will be an ACP that will start on DF:BHD and aims to provide it’s services for other games as well. Plus you now know we’ll listen to you. One thing has to be said about that though, all our staff members do this on voluntary basis. This means we do not have 24/7 time to answer you. But we’re sure you all understand this. Also cheatSense is a free ACP, we do not demand anything from anyone, however if you want to support us you can always donate at: donate@cheatsense.com. We will be carefully with all the donations we get, we’ll make sure the donations we get will be used effectively and properly. People who donate to us can also ask us what we do with the donations, we will give you an honest answer in return.

cSense Client features:

• Multiple game support
• Launch your game automatically
• Submit your status to the lobby (see lobby)
• Automatically detect cheats (various methods)
• Update the internal database on the fly
• Screen capture feature

cSense Lobby features:

• Automatically display all servers which have cSense clients in, or are running a server version.
• Display the cSense clients on each server
• Make a public VCard (customizable)
• Keep track of all banned cSense clients
• Multiple game support
• Easy export to your own website (using xml or xslt)

Off course our features will get updated and/or more features will be added to our software. We’ve decided to go public with our project before our release, so we can slowly build on a community and get input from the community itself plus already answer various questions from that same community. However don’t be afraid, cheatSense does not want you to wait long (we also know you don’t need to wait long), we want to provide you with updates. We will not provide you with an official release date as of yet. We however will keep you updated on the progress of our software so you will be updated as much as possible (for example the screen capturing software works). We will give you an official release date once we’re more sure about that, we do have a guess of when it will be, but we don’t want to risk to be in the need to delay a release. 

With this being said we hope to have you informed well enough. Once more we welcome you to our community, enjoy your stay. However be sure to have read our website & forum rules before posting!

Total there are 14 function that all server the same purpose. It’s really a personal preference as to what service you want to use. Each function accepts 1 overload and returns a single String.

Example: 

dim sTest As String = TimesURL(sURL)

The library will be available soon. Any interest in this or ideas please leave a comment.

If you have ANY emails, chats or IM’s like this I urge you to report it to your local field office or county office. Portraying to be someone else to bully is not only a felony for cyber bullying, it’s also a felony for cyber terrorism, wire fraud and identity theft.

Check back later for a more detailed report.

Features:

• Case Sensitive Characters
• Change Background/Foreground Color
• Change Font/Font Size
• Verify Captcha Easily

Example Source:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

Captcha1.CreateCaptcha()

End Sub

Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click

If Captcha1.VerifyCaptcha(TextBox1.Text) = True Then

Default Icon Struct:
I did this so we wouldn’t have to remember the names of the 3 fallback icon sets Gravatar offers.

Rating Struct:
Sure, there are only 4 ratings(G, PG, R, X) but maybe someone don’t know that. So I created a struct for this as well.

Some people are having trouble returning an image into memory. I recommend using MemoryStream for this. You can also attach the Gravatar to a listbox, combobox,textbox and almost any other control applicable.

So check out the Gravatar page and enjoy!

So check it out and let me know what you think. This is a beta, if you have suggestions or tips please let me know.
