This is a release that is for the most part feature complete but not quite there. By feature complete I mean the inclusions of features from the complete Blender 2.4x series. Here is an overview of what <a title="Blender 2.53 Beta" href="http://www.blender.org/development/release-logs/blender-250/" target="_blank">Blender 2.53 Beta Release</a> has to offer.

		<description><![CDATA[Things have been a little quiet on Sobbayi tech labs blog... well at least for the past few days. I think I bit off more than I could chew. Well I have been up attending quite a few conferences and doing a bit of reading on something new I am working on. I have also been sifting through the blender 3D code for sometime now because I want to put in more time in my involvement in with blender 2.5 which is about to be released as BETA version.

Not going to talk about it much here seeing it's obvious that this is not the right forum. Anyway. Apart from the side shows, I have been busy scouring through my latest project... not letting anything out of the bag just yet. Trying to find time out to keep up with my articles. Fixing a few patches in the "Bike Shop". These are just a few things that had piled on my desk.

		<description><![CDATA[This one takes the cake, Space Networks happens to be a tech company in Kenya dealing with VSAT related stuff and probably operate a Network Operations Center (NOC). You know what, this is seriously scary. Again this just goes to show where the problem lies as far as security of Kenya websites and Networks lies. The situation cant get any worse than this, can it?

		<description><![CDATA[Then there is this one, the Government of Kenya website. It was initially thought that it had been hacked into but it so happens that actually after further digging I can determine that this one is a false alarm. It happens to be cloaking and not hacking. I think I should take a break on my caffeine intake.

		<description><![CDATA[Okay here is another one for you, the Kenya administration police website got hacked and that just adds to the sorry list of shame of horribly developed Kenya websites. This being a Kenya Government law enforcement body does not make the situation any better. The website was hacked into and defaced and there is now some dude with a machine gun keeping vigil.

These calculators were written quite a few years back and are now available for download. I will not be offering support so the source code which uses the MFC framework will have to be used as is with bugs and all seeing I closed the books on these a few years back.
