Linkped 2.15.5 has been released:

• New buddy list and email address list out of beta and released to general public, thanks beta testers!  I am going to be working on colors for the graphs, I know they are a bit hard to read right now.
• New redirect frame, similar to the old one but cleaned up the CSS and images.  You might notice that the up and down arrows match the new ones in “My sent links”.
• The top frame shows the number of views a link has, this is just the first phase of a big feature in development. (secret for now)
• When you view a link, it will that remove your alerts. (Thanks PJ for the suggestion)
• The “Show per page” location has been moved above the pagination, and only appears when you hover over.  Helps keep the interface clean.
• Moved the RSS icon

Known issue

• Favorites are only showing up for page 1

I have not fully tweaked out my video settings so this isn’t the best. I missed the landing spot a tiny bit and forgot the hook.

I was playing around with multiple monitor support in X-Plane 8 on my Mac Pro and I have a few suggestions if you are having trouble getting this to work.

• Inside System preferences -> Displays -> Arrangement make sure your menu bar is on your left most monitor.
• All monitors need to have the same height resolution set.  If you are using monitors that support different max resolutions, you should change all of them to match the lowest monitor resolution.  When setting things up initially, you should set the width all the same as well, then tweak from there.
• Add up all monitor widths and set your X-Plane resolution to that width.  For example, during my testing I was using a 20″ Samsung, very very old Samsung 15″ and a Samsung 61″ HD DLP set.  The max the 15″ could accept was 1024, so I set X-Plane to 3072×768.  At that low of a height, the TV had large black bars around it … but it works for my needs.

When money gets better, I want to get another Samsung 20″ monitor … they aren’t too expensive and work fairly well.  Then I will use my laptop for the other screen.

Totally unrelated to the above, but here was me flying a jet around tonight chasing this airliner

I played a few games of Urban Terror tonight, I needed to get some practice in because Friday I am having a match with some co-workers.

In celebration of 2009, I will be releasing 2.15 of Linkped which includes the new my sent links and new home page.  This is a feature that has been in beta for a while now, and new years day seems like an excellent time to release the new feature to the masses.

This post was created the day before, so the new version won’t actually be released until later in the day.
