Ruining It For Everyone Else Since 2004
Back from work. I have been informed that our DVD burners are being total dicks and for whatever reason the server is not reading the discs properly.
Update
Fedora update is currently in session.
Update2
Server installed Fedora successfully. Forums is not coming up for some reason though. Looking into it.
The forum/game servers are currently inaccessible. Should be back sometime later. Will keep you posted.
They are going to be up and down for awhile.. We’re preparing to upgrade Fedora (again).
I decided to veg out today. I kinda felt entitled to do so. So I stayed in my comfy PC chair and played with HTML for a bit and came up with the new look for the primary website:

I’ll add a background image later. I figured the buttons would be good for now.

PS and I will be working together to give this old thang a makeover. If anyone wants their website link on this webpage please let me know. I’m going to be putting together a new picture in photoshop.
Well, the good news is that the server updates weren’t the problem (regarding the dedicated servers randomly dying). It turns out to be one of the network cards in the server itself. Luckily we had a spare in there or we’d be up shit creek without a paddle. Will be looking into getting a spare in the meantime.
Still on the topic of dedicated servers I’m also looking into webhosting so that I can mirror TF2 mp3’s (among other things) to make logging into the server faster for everyone. Ever since I installed the endround music mod I’ve noticed that we have been chewing up a healthy amount of bandwidth.
Oh, and tonight I finally finished my review of “The Woods”. This episode will be even shorter than the last one. But don’t worry, it won’t be boring…
Came home only to discover that after the latest TF2 server update the servers will do a mega crash. For some reason the latest TF2/HL2DM update randomly kills the network card on the server. I’m not sure why it is doing this but I know it didn’t before the update.
Right now I’m only leaving the L4D1 server up since I know that had no updates. If the network card hasn’t been killed by the time I wake up later I’ll do some TF2 testing.
What a great way to start my 3 day weekend…
Roll the dice mod: Simply type !rtd and get a surprise!
Quake Mod: Sounds and text from Quake. Added for nostalgia.
End match music: Custom victory music is played at the end of each round. Will be adding more as needed.
End of round slaughtering: At the end of each round all the dead people on the losing team will be revived just to be killed over and over again until the next round starts.
Actually it’s because I was using a newer template on an older version of phpBB3. I’ve reverted to an older template so that new registrations can see the captcha.
If you had issues getting to the forum it should be resolved now, if not give it a few minutes to propagate.
FYNoIP.
