Well, this is an important release of the qvm, because it features changes that will hopefully allow the qvm to appeal to more members of the community. 1.6.2 removes a number of the abusive commands[1. That is, !switch, !mix, !trade, !steal, !explode, !drug], and duplicates some of their functionality with non-abusible counterparts. Read on for details.

Yet another release of P-G-Qvm. This one is not as big as the other, but still substantial, and introduces quite a few features, as well as a few bugfixes.

A new version of P-G-Qvm has been released today. For those of you who have used only the pre-compiled versions, the changelog is quite big, and for those of you who have used SVN versions, it isnt so big, but various security flaws have been fixed. Read on for details about the release, whats changed, and why you should update.
<p>Don't be afraid, im not going all out ajax like I did with my first edition of this site. All i have done is add a bit of ajax. A little teeny bit. You likely will rarely ever notice it.</p> <h3>Calendar</h3> <p>Yes, the calendar is back. I rethemed it, and now it matches this theme much better. Now you can see what i post when. Its just as fast as it was before, and just as easy to use. You can see it in the 2nd column</p> <h3>AutoMore</h3> <p>This is what i like to call it. Basically, now when your reading over my blog, and you want to read more of an article, and there is a more link, you dont have to wait for a page refresh, the content loads inline. This allows you to read the full article, and then read others, all seamlessly. Want the page to shrink back down? click the hide link at the bottom of the post, and it will zoom back up to its old format, allowing you to scroll much easier.</p> <p>What do you guys think about these ajax changes?</p>
Well, after working away today, I have finished the site. The new design is clean, smooth, and a departure from what I have usually done, so it was interesting.
First, as many of you may have noticed, I was running a K2 theme. I had developed my previous 2 designs on K2, and was comfortable with it. But one thing I wanted to do with this theme was use a powerful javascript library. K2 had too much of its own js, so I had to dump it. Through an afternoon, i chugged out what you see here. I think the end result was pretty good, don’t you?
Features
The new site is awash with features. Too many to list, but Ill run down the biggest off the top of my head.
- Javascript: Yes, the site uses javascript. Not just a little, but a whole framework. This adds lots of functionality, and makes the site much cooler than just a plain old blog. If you don’t have javascript enabled, then i don’t know how you got here, because the rendering of the site is done via js.
- Live Panes: No more reloading just to view an article or post a comment! All of that stuff is done via ajax, in the center frame, so you wont have to wait once you get the site loading.
- Column: Most blogs have a column on the side that shows everything at once. Information overload! This column is much more specific, that is, you have to switch through each layer of the
accordion
to view them. Some people may not like this, but hey, it reduces clutter - Live Comments: Comment posting is live! For those of you who don’t know what that means, it means that you can post your comment, without refreshing the page. As soon as the server has handled your comment, it will appear on your (and everyone else’s screen), no reload required
- Quick Search: Normal search is boring. This site goes beyond that, with QuickSearch! QuickSearch is pretty cool. Any of you who have used Windows Vista or Mac OS X will know how to use it, and for those of you who don’t, its simple. Start typing like any normal search. As you type, the results will drop down from the box.
- Recent Comments: Recent comments aren’t anything new, a number of blogs support it. However, this one does so in a very special way. If you click the extras menu, and check the
Recent Comments
box, a tab will appear at the bottom of the page, showing you all the recent comments. This is live updating, so you can see the comments as they come in. To switch back to the main view, click the other tab there. Presto.
But these aren’t all. I am working on a number of other features, and will let you know when i get them online.
Anyway, how do you guys like the site?

Loading ...Well, day one of development has finished, and I have gotten a lot done. Not only have i set the site up, but i have set up a majority of the backend i would like to use.
Over installation, i ran into a few hurdles. First off, one of my themes was not yet compatible with the latest version of the backend, or at least some features wern’t. I had to reinstall the site many times, and on the 3rd try, i disabled the faulty feature, and the site seems to work perfectly fine. Some of the plugin’s i used are not fully compatible, so i had to edit their sources directly.
Currently, the site is bare, but more will come as i develop the theme. I hope to have the theme done soon, as i want this site to be uniuqe. This is my 4th theme, my 3rd on wordpress[1. The first theme was on an old CMS called e107], so i plan to show off. Hope you guys enjoy it
