Or, just search YouTube for the title and you'll find a lot of versions of the video. It is pretty cool.

Re: Happy Birthday Sobias

That sucks. It wasn't even in the game, then you could have called it a battle wound, now it is just a warmup wound. Glad to hear it is doing better. I'm not sure what it is about 30, but right after I turned 30 I started hurting a lot more also. It probably had more to to with having a kid and it b...

A quote from Sobias on Facebook

First time for everything, i guess. Turn 30 and three days later require crutches. Funfun!

What did you do to need crutches?

Downtime 09/10/2012

Was due to a DoS attack against all of GoDaddy, thus my site was impacted. Looks like things are back to normal.

Re: Forum Changes

Let me know if you see any problems with the server status. I just changed the SOE feed to use their JSON feed instead of XML. The XML wasn't working today for some reason, the URL worked but my code wasn't getting it. The JSON version should be faster (by a little) than the XML version.

Re: Forum Changes

The server status now is an AJAX call also. I removed the cron job that used to run to update the server status in the background and it now is just called as needed. If the values in the database are over 100 seconds old it should go out and get updated status. While getting the status it will say ...

That is the portal. In either version it should have the Latest News on the top and the server status. When I was testing permissions it was forwarding me to the index.php page when I tried to hit the portal.php.

Re: Forum Changes

Ash and Stryx, did either of you have Portal access this past week? I was doing some testing and it looked like you two (well everyone that isn't an admin or global moderator) didn't have access to the portal. Everyone should have access now. Let me know if you don't have access.

Re: Forum Changes

I believe the Portal is working as it did before for CA Black. I still need to work on the mobile version though. The mobile side will be trickier, they rewrote all the backend code for the portal so my hacks no longer work, I'll have to recreate them.

Yeah it was under the carport, enough we can barely access the passenger side doors. We had heard that the storm was coming so I made sure to get under as far as I reasonable could.

The mobile has a link from the index to the timeline, it is a very simple timeline for the mobile. I'll probably work on it some but it works for now.
