WTF!?

By K2 on May 21st, 2010 at 3:35 pm EST

I know, right? Where have the news posts been? WTF!? ;)

Well let’s see… I quit playing DAoC about a month ago, as it was taking up way way too much of my free time. Was a lot of fun though while it lasted – made a guild, met some cool guys from Sweden and South Korea as well as right here in America, so it wasn’t a total loss. Just can’t do the ‘grind’ and not upset the wife at the same time, heh. Soooo, as far as gaming goes, I just play Dragon Age when I have a spare moment. Easy to play as it’s strictly single-player and I can stop n’ save whenever I need to. Win-win as they say.

College is over and done with, been looking for a part-time job, and am also doing some type of tech-based business internship this summer, hopefully starting soon. My time with the National Guard is almost up (four more drills left) and have been enjoying spending time with Koa, our German Shepherd pup (see my personal album for some recently uploaded pics).

Site-related – just finished updating the msgboard and photo gallery to their latest versions. Nothing major, and nothing you’d notice, but it’s good to stay current.

That’s all I got folks… hope you’re enjoying your spring. See ya next time.

DAoC – Revisited

By K2 on March 1st, 2010 at 2:38 pm EST

A couple weeks ago SaGe^KS posted about a ‘freeshard’ Dark Age of Camelot server he had found and started playing on… a ‘classic’ DAoC server hosted in Europe that’s free for anyone to play on. The server is ran and maintained by a small group of people somewhere in Europe (I have no idea where, heh) who purposely left out a lot of the newer content/expansions brought to the game, hence the term ‘classic’ server. Nad jumped on board with a few of his friends from way back when, KillerClown and I started playing as well, we all joined an existing guild and we’ve been playing and having a good time with it ever since. So for those of ya that used to play with us back in 2001 til whenever and wanna come back to it  (for free) then let us know. The original thread started by SaGe^KS can be found here – click here – it has all the info ya need to get started.

I’m also hosting our Guild’s forum here on the site. For those of ya in the guild that are new to the site, go ahead and register (use your main characters username please), and then lemme know that you’ve registered. I can then add you to the guild group, at which point you’ll be able to see the forum and post to it.

Let us know if you want to play DAoC with us folks! :P

Test post (phpBB3 3.0.6/WPU 0.8 update)

By K2 on January 17th, 2010 at 9:17 pm EST

Test post…

OK, if you’re reading this, then the major backend updates I performed were a success. There are a few bugs, such as the ‘recent forum posts’ widget on the sidebar showing every single post ever made, as well as a couple other minor bugs, but overall it’s gone smoothly. I’ve let the WPU mod author know of the issues I’ve discovered, so hopefully we’ll have some fixes soon.

I have many more updates and tweaks to do regarding 3rd party phpBB3 mods, as well as a few more look n’ feel tweaks. The worst is over and done with though ;)

EDIT – if ya guys could please, go through various functions here and on the board, use the comments function here for this news post (you’ll notice it’s now fully integrated between WP and phpBB3) and so on. Some bugs the WPU author has already fixed and I’ve implemented, but if you find any other bugs or notice any weird behavior, lemme know. Thanks.

Site backend update, some downtime

By K2 on January 17th, 2010 at 4:37 pm EST

Just an FYI folks, the website is going to be down later tonight and probably the better part of tomorrow as well. A long-anticipated new version of WP-United was released today, and in turn I’ll need to update phpBB3 and related mods at the same time as I update WP-United. That’s a lot of work ;) I’ll need to restrict access to the site during this time to ensure everything goes OK, and that no posts are lost in case I have to roll everything back to current versions. I’m performing a full site backup right now. As soon as that’s finished, the site will be locked down – no access will be permitted until the updates are complete and I’m happy with the results.

In the meantime, go watch the Jets/Chargers playoff game, kickoff is in three minutes ;) See ya soon.

Buh-bye 2009…

By K2 on December 31st, 2009 at 1:27 am EST

Figured I’d do this post now while I’m able, because I will be out partying with Jenn and friends tonight ;-) Have a happy new year gang. This year was a crazy one, I don’t even know where to begin on listing all the shit that’s happened globally over the course of 2009 – but I’ll be glad to see it go. I’m all ready for 2010 ;-) So have fun tonight, and if you do decide to go out, make sure ya got a plan… designated drivers, a place to crash, etc.

Hardfought stuff – guess what? I completely forgot to post back in October about HF’s ninth birthday. What – the – fuck!? I can’t friggin’ believe I did that. I had just finished mid-terms, so maybe that’s why. I dunno. Anyways, happy belated ninth birthday Hardfought! I definitely wont forget our 10th anniversary next October. Also, I have plans to ‘finish’ the website finally while I am still on break in January. There’s quite a few scripts to update including the board itself, and I still need to finish fixing the look n’ feel after getting away from using OnePress. Bleh.

Alright… have a good one everybody. See ya next year ;-)

News!!

By K2 on November 1st, 2009 at 7:23 am EST

Yeah, let’s post some news! Heh, so what is there to tell? Not a whole lot HF-wise… game servers are still down, and I still need to finish the website look n’ feel after the OnePress debacle. That’s about it. On a personal note though, things have been going well. I’m back in college and making A’s, Jenn loves her new job, we made a new addition to the family six weeks ago in the form of a very intelligent and trouble-making German Shepherd pup named ‘Koa’, and Jenn and I are celebrating our 3rd year wedding anniversary today. I actually get to be here for this one ;-)

Anyways. Hope that all of you have been doing well also, and that ya have fun during the upcoming holidays. I will be learning how to snowboard, heh ;-) Until next time…
