John Ratcliff's Code Suppository

A place where I insert my code into the anus of the Internet.

The Code Suppository Repository



Even though I like the idea of having a coding Blog it has become clear that this is a terrible way to actually provide software.

I had to stay home from work this morning because we are getting new carpeting installed. Since I had some free time I finally got around to a task I have been wanting to take care of for a long time. Today I created 'The Code Suppository Repository'. This is a simple web page that contains links to *current* versions of all of the code snippets I have posted on this blog. I made sure that all of the links are current and hyperlinked each piece of software with it's corresponding blog entry. They are listed in chronological order as they appeared on this site.

Probably the most important thing is that I revised every piece of source to be current with the latest versions I maintain for myself. One question I had was what to do about the dead links the in the previous blog posts, or the posts which relate purely to earlier releases of software that are no longer relevant. I have decided to just leave the blog the way it is but, from now on, always use the provided download page to get the latest version of anything.

This was enough work just for today, but I fully intend to keep posting code snippets in the future. Maybe I'm the only one who finds them valuable, I don't know, but personally I couldn't get much done without my collection of 'snippets'.

As for the CreateDynamics release. I don't expect to see a new releases any time soon. I don't have the bandwidth at this time. Nevertheless, the release I have up here is functional to the extent that it demonstrates most of what I presented at GDC and I think that is good enough for now.

One final time, here is the permanent location for 'The Code Suppository Repository'. Always use this to get the latest version of any code snippet or application.
