The Adventuron text adventure authoring system allows authors to quickly and easily build modern or retro-style text adventures, targetting modern desktop, tablet, and mobile devices. According to creator Chris Ainsley, "Adventuron introduces light programming concepts such as variables, conditional statements and instructions. Adventuron should be quite useful as a first programming language once a few tutorials are created."
Billed collectively as Urgent 11, the vulnerabilities consist of six remote code flaws and five less-severe issues that allow things like information leaks and denial-of-service attacks. None of the vulnerabilities affects the most recent version of VxWorks—which was released last week—or any of the certified versions of the OS, including VxWorks 653 or VxWorks Cert Edition.
Dropbox announced its "New Desktop Experience" in June, and previously it was opt-in. Recently, though, a number of users on Twitter and at the Ars Orbiting HQ have reported silently being "upgraded" to this radically different version of the app.
Launch of the new Winnipeg Real Estate News website
Visual Lizard worked with WinnipegREALTORS® to completely refresh their online presence. This includes refocusing the content and functionality into two branches: winnipegrealtors.ca covering the board and association, and winnipegrealestatenews.com targeted at consumers buying and selling real estate.
We collaborated closely with WinnipegREALTORS® information technology department, allowing us to build custom solutions to leverage their existing systems. Rather than requiring WinnipegREALTORS® to build or modify APIs to fit an off-the-shelf system, we integrated our Catalyst content management system to run off their databases on their hardware. WinnipegREALTORS® was happy to have a website that conformed to their workflows instead of the other way around.
The new winnipegrealestatenews.com uses Google Places and Google Maps to allow visitors to explore available properties in the Winnipeg Metropolitian Region. It rolls this new functionality with robust search, where you can filter over listing prices, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, floor space and land size, and key features. And when something peaks your interest, those finds can be compared against each other side-by-side, or favourited together to look over with your REALTOR® later.
REALTORs® and realtor broker offices now have their own unique presence on the site, with individual profile pages that feature biographies, languages spoken, specialities, and designations. And visitors can connect directly with a REALTOR® with a quick account registration, allowing the two to work closer together and help find that dream home!
I kind of hope these people do exist, and someone is just adding the occasional artifact to real pictures. But they are probably really generated by an algorithm of some sort.
