The Downtime
« on: June 02, 2008, 03:30:37 PM »
In case you're wondering why there was some downtime all yesterday and the day before, apparently our server burned down.

Yes. It burned.

Curiously, the radio station I listen to on the way to work said the same thing about their website, that day... that their data center had burned down. I wonder if it was related, or if that's quite such a common occurrence, as data centers go...?

:sa-awesome: CAN WILL BE REOPENING THIS SUNDAY :sa-awesome:

Sigh. I've been working my ass off getting the coding right for the past couple of days.  I thought things would be easy since I was having the forums take care of the majority of the coding.  I was wrong.  It's not given me too many problems--most of the shit that's come up has been my own doing; on the other hand, there were a lot of things not featured in the SSI.php that comes with this board that I needed to integrate:  avatars in news posts, functions based on different variables, avatars on the main page, etc.  I hate modifying code  that is sometimes made inflexible, although I didn't run into that wall too often.

I feel dumb posting blog items all by myself.  If you find something that's funny, really, really awful, or just plain interesting in one of the four categories, post it.  All people in Old Guard have permission, and again, if you don't, let me know.  It'll appear on the front page.

If you aren't reading this from the site, it's www.carchive.net/thecan.php

EDIT: Looks like I didn't do an if else statement rightly.

What the bloody
