I’ve decided to clean out the links that I had on the side of the blog. Most of them were inactive/barely active and had to do with things that I don’t really have much involvement in anymore. It mostly had to do with Uru/Myst Online which I really don’t have much involvement in anyway, aside from the occasional login to the server of course. So I’m thinking it might be time to refresh what links I mostly frequent or just leave them out entirely.

If you’re here because you can’t load The Guild Of Slackers Forum…
Uninstalling some plugins somehow managed to break it completely. I tried using an old backup but unfortunately it fried the database. I’ll have to look into either repairing or recreating the forum from scratch at a later date. Probably during my next set of days off.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Update
Brought the forum back up. But there’s still an issue with uploading avatars.
Test driving a new theme
It has lots of options. So far seems to be working.
For those interested:
Just thought I’d let people know about the new site and forum. Still archiving it on the 1st, but to those who want to join the new one early here it is:
Main Site.
What I’ve been up to
Well, I can finally get back to posting stuff again. Been busy getting things ready to switch over to the new website and forum. On March 1st for the Slackers group people will see a new main page and have a new forum to join with new features and easier maintenance since it’ll be on my webhost.
The main page uses WordPress. I have the forum and the main page integrated with one another. You can sign into the forum via the main site and even see forum stats, threads and posts without setting foot on the forum.
It also has some handy information on it regarding our Steam Group, Game Servers, and Mumble channel. Also has a link to our Slackers Quote Database/IRC channel. Also has an awesome slider that I can put pictures and links on.
Yep, I’m ready for this. 😀
There was an outage on the blog.
If anyone tried to access this blog (and the mumble server attached to it) it was down due to my webhost having a nasty power surge. Everything just came back online. Just in time for me to get home and raise total hell!
Running on a new wordpress update.
Let me know if anythings broken.
So much to do.
Well, I overslept. So by the time I woke up it was dark and cold outside. Don’t feel like going to the bank ATM in that so I’ll save it for another day. Oh well, doing my bedding instead. I also upgraded the forums to the latest phpBB, installed AutoMod and TapaTalk. I don’t have a smartphone, so if anyone could give me some feedback to see if it’s properly working I would appreciate it.
Next comes wrapping gifts. Not sure if I’ll work on the laptop or save that for Tuesday when I have my next day off.
Update
Somehow my selection of Christmas wraps have vanished without a trace. I’ll have to see if there are any left tomorrow at work. You can tell how well I traditionally celebrate Christmas these days…
Sunday Morning Open Thread
Started the day sleeping past the alarm. Still made it to work on time though. Nice and quiet night of work. 8)
Now to put together my to do list for tomorrow’s day off.
Install Windows 7 and Ubuntu onto new laptop drives (they arrived!)
Box gifts for various friends in and out of country
Upgrade Forum to latest version of phpBB (One version behind, hopefully nothing breaks)
Install AutoMod
Install Plugin so that people can read the forum via a smartphone.
Go to bank to make a deposit
Fuck off the rest of the night.
It’s going to be a nerdy day. 🙂
