Ive spent the day mostly working on some checks. As my users so apparently pointed out and enacted was a buffer over flow error. They just stick 3000 charchters in a buffer ment for 500 and walla crash city. So I spent a few hours adding in a check to make sure it does not go over size as well as increasing the buffer it self to 6000 on my chat app. Hopefully this will stop there joking around :P

Also added in a version check so that the server client will only match up with the proper client version. Good times.

Now that its out of the way tomorrow im going to be focusing on adding the improvements needed to actively scan for tag commands added to strings. Once I get this I can start up a new user script to get a password and some other information. Finally one day I will get to my jumble command!

In other news I came up with the idea that I should make a command prompt version of checkers thats networked. This will continue to hone my socket skills as well as make for a easily hiddable and fun past time when the bosses are not looking :P I'll keep you up to date.

Last but not least variable source is looking for new members. Its just me for right now but im trying to make a big enough group for projects and possibly meetings. Its tampa bay area in florida but any ones welcomed to join. Let me know!
