Alright, sorry for not posting much. My webhost had some serious issues yesterday morning that were related to some upgrades and migrations. It was so terrible inf act that their phones were down. They lost everything.

And if that wasn’t enough there has also been a fire inland that may be causing us some serious internet issues. The ping on our servers has been terrible these last few days though stabilized tonight. Hopefully everything will be better now.

I tested the Left 4 Dead 2 server by spawning as many tanks, witches, gnomes, explosions etc and the server ran perfectly. Our clients however did not… I’ve also been running an Elevator Source server but had to take it offline. Out of all 8 servers that I’m running Elevator seems to take up more resources than the other 7 servers combined. I find myself having to restart it constantly after people have had their fun in it. Originally I wasn’t even going to make this a full time server, but then I saw people on there and decided to leave it up. It amazes me how people will connect up just to stand around and do nothing but chat with each other… Then I remember that Uru still exists. Maybe I should send these people over to the Myst Online forums and see how fun it is to sit in a neighborhood or a city doing nothing.

On a brighter note all of my matcha items arrived! I haven’t made any traditional matcha yet, but I have had the matcha/sencha teabags. They have a very nice grassy flavor to them. If you like green tea I recommend giving it a try.

For those of you who don’t know what matcha is, click here and be enlightened.
