For my first post I’m going to cover a few things: why is called Project Big Wing Boy and what is it located at a site called supervcrmod.
Well I wanted to wait until I had a more functional, semi-working piece of code before I came up with a real name for the project. Something that really encompasses everything it is capable of. So instead of re-naming the entire script when it is functional I figured I would just leave it as an obvious working title from the beginning. Big Wing Boy is a line from a some-what old favorite TV show of mine and it amuses me. So there ya go.
This domain name, having sat idle for so many years, was easy to take over in place of having to buy a new domain for forwarding or whatever. Also a lot cheaper!
The application itself will be written in a combination of VBScript and HTML: a little known Windows capability from the past called an HTML Application. It’s essentially the IE scripting and HTML engine but with no security warnings and support for Windows Script Host objects with no issues. This is nice because all I have to know is HTML to create the GUI.
I’m using VBScript instead of JavaScript (which is an option) because a lot of admin scripts are still written in VBScript (and old ones are still in circulation) and I would like to be able to read them. What better way to learn a new language like that then to come up with something specific to accomplish in it. Right? When I get close to releasing source code I will likely start up a Source Forge project. Although actually the entire thing should easily be limited to the one text file.
Also, I have installed WordPress on my web provider for the first time, sorry if it looks a little generic or amateurish.
