Second wind

Real programmers do real things:
Yup, a 16+ hour day for the pioneers of ProjectSkyLine.

Who doesn't love things that are fast and small? Motorcycles, missiles...png's?! If your a web developer and you need to support IE 6.0, 5.5, etc you have undoubtedly had a run in with
the infamous png-24 problem.

After searching Google and trying various bits of javascript, css and other kludge fixes, we still had not reached a STABLE (Visual Studio was catching IE 5.0 crashes) answer to the png-24 problem for ALL browsers. So we may not be using .png's as much as we'd like too.

A STABLE fix is to use .gif images w/a matte background to match any color of your choice.
Transparencies will also work but we've found small images distort when transparency is added. IE7 fixes this error as well as FireFox and Opera (v9).

Take some source give some improvements:
We designed pCal to help connect ProjectSkyLine's workers across states. Its been invaluable to us. Today we released updates to the pCal package and clarified the installation process.

Another open source project we find of great use is bfExplorer. It enables remote users to connect to our development server and manage files through an easy to use 'explorer-ish' interface. One point of improvement was needed in the file list code however. The application had plenty of space to display full file names but was stopping after 16 characters. Yeah, this makes it a bit difficult when you organize your files. So here's a quick fix for anyone wanting this changed:

Inside /files/config.php change $names_chars from 16 to 30;

Yup, that's it! And now you have your file names...in full!
