It seems Bertie was able to get all the honey out of the server, but it took a long time as honey is really sticky. It seems a rack mount server isn't the best place in the world for a bear to store their honey.

The site has also been converted over to Olympus and the new website has been released, it seems really shiny and new, hopefully Bertie won't stick honey into this one, you could imagine the result, no fun for anyone then.

.NET Framework 1.1 Support & Vista

March 02, 2007

Starting April releases of my applications mEAL, mod_to_modx, and MOD Studio will no-longer be compatible with the .NET Framework 1.1 and will require the .NET Framework 2.0.

This should be of no concern to most Windows users as the .NET Framework 2.0 was pushed as a Windows Update download over a year ago. As for Linux and OSX users, those using the Intel version of Mono for OSX have a compatible version of the runtime. As for those on a PPC or Linux (or other Mono platform), any recent build of Mono will be compatible (2006 or newer, maybe older ones as well).

Windows Vista does not come with a .NET 1.1 runtime, but comes with a .NET 2.0 runtime which is backwards compatible with .NET 1.1.

This is unfortunate as the MOD Studio Installer isn't smart enough to know that and requires you to have the .NET Framework 1.1. You can always download the zip file instead of the msi and use it that way on Windows Vista.

Happy modding everyone, and I suggest any keen modders download mEAL from the phpBB forums. It is a useful tool for helping you determine wether the phpBB team will deny or approve your MOD and suggest how to fix it (despite any teething issues in going public).
