Early Morning Open Thread

Well, didn’t go out as much as I had wanted to. The sun was out but there was too much damn wind. So I just chillax’d like a bawler and made some sushi for tomorrows bento box. Then I decided to play with some forum software called SMF. Experimentation with that has been going well so far. Don’t get me wrong, I was raised on phpBB but sometimes I need to look at other stuff and see if I’m missing out or not. SMF has some nice features with it (especially in mod form). I even imported my forum database with hardly any issues. Of course everything is a mere test right now. Nothing will be concrete until I play around with it enough to decide if I’ll keep it or not.

One of the features I like so far is an RSS bot poster. It lets you select an RSS feed and whoever you want on the forum to post it. That’s one thing I’ve been dying to get my hands on for phpBB3, but sadly every time I look for that one I find that it’s several versions old. Along with a shoutbox that my friends have been mawing at me about for years to the point of forgetting about it. Still, I want to be as thorough as possible before doing yet another jump. Although this time if I do no one will have to register another account. 😀
