July, 1999 - September, 1999.

4th July 1999
Well, Nostre Damus said the world would end today. Quite frankly, I think it's bo****ks, given that he's made predictions for 2001 and things. Anyway, I've updated this site in a minor way, just updating the links and the news.

The big change on the site as a whole is that the games have disappeared from the JD products page and moved over to the FX Software site, which has now been completed. The games are still downloadable from the JD downloads page, I've just updated their links to point to the FX site.

Andy has changed his email address (again!) It is now lockpick@freecall-uk.co.uk.

15th August 1999
Sorry about the vast delay between updates, I've been quite busy recently what with going on holiday and stuff. Anyway, the big news is that I finally decided to release NetDOCK-2 (registered) into the world because no one was registering it. So stuff them, they can have it for free ;)

Also, we started work on a new game, provisionally called Massacre. Basically its going to be like Alien Breed, but with a LOT more blood, more weapons, and hopefully more levels etc. I've just got to write a decent map-scrolling routine (I've already done the level editor :) and then I can start work on getting everything going.

23rd August 1999
Mainly cosmetic changes to the site, replaced the top banner on the main page for one advertising Irritator, the new JD program. Irritator basically does stuff with your Amiga to annoy and irritate, such as clicking mouse buttons, putting up annoying requesters, and even belching at you ;)

Added Irritator to the downloads section.

25th August 1999
Just a minor update. Just bumped Irritator from v1.02 to v1.03.
Working on some new buttons for the site, people have been complaining about the others ;(

Irritator will be added to the Products page soon!

26th August 1999
Just updated Irritator to v1.1. It now includes a preferences program to turn off specific actions.
29th August 1999
Altered the Irritator archive slightly to remove the rename commands. Some people complained about them renaming C:MagTape. So now it doesn't.
4th September 1999
Four days to Gaz's birthday (hint, hint).
WOW! A MAJOR update to the site, as in, completely redesigned it scratch. Now it looks better than ever!! Ignore any references to the JokerD site in the old news, especially links, because they very well may be dead, as the structure of the site has changed completely. By all means try them, but don't get narc'ed if they don't work. However, if they DON'T work, please tell me, and I'll sort them out.
5th September 1999
Three days to Gaz's birthday (hint, hint).
Added three new members to the members page, YT2095, Zimzum, and Delta-Ray. Maybe more coming soon! :)
9th September 1999
Gaz is now 16 years old. And to celebrate the fact, he has decided to start work on a multiplayer-only deathmatch arena style game, with planned internet play. More news as it, um, happens.
20th September 1999
Added the Cinema4D section. This will be a tutorial series by ZimZum. It will be in both online-readable and downloadable. The former being accessed via the main navigation frame, and the latter being on the archives page. Part 1 is available at the moment.
