Next week

[PoLiX]

Every year the navy shuts down our shipyard for a week, and well next week is that week. So I'll be home, and between painting the baby's room, assembling the crib and stuff, I'll be trying to do some work here on the site.

 

Got a few ideas for the actual content section, but as far as the downloads and tutorials, need some help there. As always some people stepped up, I told them what they need to do, and nothing happened. Sadly with the downloads section I really had high hopes, and honestly dunno what happened to Xog. Hope he is alright.

 

I wanna make this next week really productive, so hopefully will make some leaps and bounds.

 

On a serious note...

 

Pastebin & Twitter feed. Anyone actually see a use for them? Or am I just wasting space at the top of the site. Please lemme know.

The Arcade has more use at least to me.. bring back the arcade to distract me.

 

If you want productive, give me an ssforums job.

In my honest personal opinion I think you're really just wasting time and space with the pastebin feature.

When you announced it, I had the feeling of "Subspace.co should really focus on subspace and not offer all kind of random services that might remotely be handy every now and then".

 

If it's dedicated to for example pasting Continuum's log files then I can see the purpose but other then that... ?

 

I don't really know about the Twitter feature. I doubt I will ever check it more then once a year.

Inserted all "Frequently Asked Questions" into the Tutorials Section.

 

Also turned off Spider Logs. Dunno why it turned on again, but was really hogging down the mysql server at times, and the table was nearing 150mb. Forum DB down from 400mb to 250mb now.

Spent some more time optimizing apache for what we actually use. When we moved servers it seems php4 was still installed amongst other modules we didn't use. Won't notice too much of an effect on the user end, but server will be much happier.

 

IP.Content again is updating with a feature better than the idea I had for the actual content pages. The ability to control the menus and submenus without having to "hack" the skin template and trick it into working properly with extra menu items (as it does with "About Continuum" right now). I think waiting for a feature that can't be accidently broken if someone rebuilds the skin database wrong would be the best move. I am still working on the content itself, just it won't be linked just yet. As I joked before... always waiting on IPB

 

Hoping to see more tutorials move over, and reinstalling the old "Files.SSGN.net" so I can retrieve the last of the files from there and move them to the new downloads section. I am trying to work with a few people to get things rolling on that section, but so far nothing good. People want to help, but when you tell them the work needed done they pretty much run away. Oh well.

 

As always thanks for the support, big thanks to any donators, and if you'd like to help lemme know. Looking for people to rebuild a file respository atm. Or atleast get the ball rolling.
