I am done with College and want to come back! :)

Hi everyone,

I just finished college and started working (this is my 3rd week)! and now I have free time (after work that is) [pics]

I was very busy - cause I had to work on my graduation thesis which is a first of a kind: a prototype autonomous robot that can build on Mars. I just wanted to share it with the community: [thesis/pdf] [presentation/keynote] [pics].

As everyone knows I started DockEx.com to create a portal for all docklets for quick and easy search/download for all available dock platforms. Later on decided to offer a forum only for developers to discuss advanced coding techniques and offer tutorials for future developers in the community. Unfortunately, my time was against me and I had no way to moderate nor monitor all developers at DockEx.com.

I have been thinking, and this goes to the people in charge of Aqua-Soft (and the community), if I could somehow link DockEx.com to Aqua-Soft and create an automatic update system were new developement and releases are automatically (or via developers) added to the "repository" to enable direcet download pages. Moreover, an associated link can be added as part of the description to direct users to the appropriate thread for QA/Support/Thanks/Suggestions/etc.

My goal has been from day one to try to expand the community but at the same time make it less complex to navigate around and looking/searching around the web. Aqua-Soft is the one that I think is moving in the right direction in terms of expansion (user-base), development and at the same time keeping the community together. I wanted to take this to the next level.

Other than that - I am looking forward to "catching up" with the aqua community (really behind over here) and see were I can go.

Again, thanks everyone for your time. I hope I have posted this in the correct thread -- I didn't want to post it in a particular "app" as it reflects all of them.

Congrats buddy... welcome back home... LOL

Welcome home indeed, Albeik. Mabrook on your graduating; nifty robot you did, but can it dance? - that is really the question.

So you are one of the few that still has not been taken by the lure of Mac Mini, huh?

#293062

Me too, me too! Death to Apple!

Welcome back, albeik. I sent you an e-mail approximately a year ago, and you still haven't replied, but considering I don't even remember what it was about, it's all good.

@seph: shokran! thanks!

@nightcrawler1089: if you send the email to hotmail -- i probably didn't get -- i no more check hotmail and instead use albeik[@]gmail -- sorry about that!

@Ghostwalker: I'll look into the application in my office momentarly and looks promissing -- i'll download it at home and play around with it and catch up with whats going on regarding its development process!

I still use my Powerbook as my primary machine -- but my PC is still alive and well especially when playing HL2!

Thanks again everyone!

PS: I still keep getting request for a Comic Docklet to be ported to AveDesk and ObjectDock

Ah, that was it! Albeik, I sent it about a year ago, but I just remembered--I wanted a Power Docklet to be ported to AD and OD--I had one, but I wanted one where you could change the label. It doesn't matter anymore .
