Fresh

Shock 3 is being pumped with fresh features that has never been on any program of it's kind before. These new features are going to blow the other competetion out of the way (like there is any, heh). The update is coming very soon. It is about 60% completed as of today. I plan on doing much work in the coming days. It's really hard to find time to work on my project because I work 12 hours a day at my other job. I do promise an update within 2 weeks from now.

The GetShock.NET website is going to be turned into a blogger soon. This will provide a more immediate source of information and allow me to update faster.

Shock will also be featuring two brand-new Skins that will accompany the default skin. I may also change the icon's throughout the program with this set I found earlier this week. It will give it a more uniform clean look. Shock may not be a million dollar piece of software but I want it to look, feel and run like one.

Road Runner upgrade!

It seems that Road Runner has upgraded their upload speed to 512 Kb (512 / 8 = 64 kB/s) as apposed to 384 Kb (384 / 8 = 48 kB/s). To notice a change you will have to restart your cable modem. If you do not no how to restart your modem follow these steps:
  • Disconnect your COAX Cable from Modem (cable line)
  • Unplug your cable modem from the power outlet
  • Wait about 1 minute
  • Reconnect your COAX Cable to your modem (cable line)
  • Plug your power cord back in
  • Wait for your modem to have all green lights (including 'Online')
If any of you guys notice this change in your area aswell, let us know.

DVD Collection

I've started to build a DVD collection. I'm not really a picky guy when it comes to movies, but I love thriller and war type movies the most. I aim to make this one of the biggest and best DVD collections ever.

You may view my collection at any time by looking on the right-hand side of my blog or by visiting my IMDb Profile.

If you have a movie you think I should add please comment below.

What's up?

I'm currently working on an update for Shock 3 you can look for a newly coded playlist that's faster and less processor intensive. You can also look for many minor bug fixes with AOL Plug-In, Last.fm Plug-In (Formerly Scrobbler), as well as a brand new feature named Shock Prompt. You can enter any command that is supported by the AOL Plug-In into this dialog, and you will get the results the same as if you were to of typed it into a chat room on AOL.

Remember if you have any ideas for Shock, please comment or email @ allen@p-soft.org


I've been seriously working way too many hours. I really should slow down, it's kind of hard to do though. I look at as my company is holding a bucket upside down with money pouring out of it and the only way to get it is to be there. I love my job though. I think I'll be there for awhile now. We broke a record last month with $5.15 Million in sales in our building alone. The old record was only $5.12 Million, so we barely beat it.

But anyhow, Alyssa and I are about to go out and do some shit. I'll keep you people posted on how things are coming.
