Ok, so I found this on YouTube and found it quite interesting, I’m gonna have to give it a shot here pretty soon…
New little utility for CS:S server adminsThursday, April 24, 2008 4:08 pm
I wrote this script to help keep my maplist.txt file updated. I tried to write it in Perl but unfortunately I’m not familiar enough with Perl to actually do anything with it, so I wrote it in PHP. Its rather simplistic and should work for any game that uses "maplist.txt" in the same directory of "maps/" but I only have CS:S server and haven’t tried on anything else.
This script is to be used at the users discretion, I claim no responsibility for any outcome of the script, even if it works right. Other than that, let me know if you’d like to see any improvements or whatever.
[Download id not defined]Upgraded to WordPress 2.5Thursday, April 24, 2008 12:27 pm
Ok, so to go along with the new "rewiring" of the site, I also upgraded to WordPress 2.5. Of course, Mr. Jeff Atwood over at CodingHorror.com doesn’t agree, as his post here makes sure to point out. By all means I think his point of view is quite acceptable however I think there are way to many variables in his case to make a decent report on the performance quality of WordPress.
Besides the whole Windows vs. Linux/Unix thing (which is a non-issue really, since the problem is occurring when the page talks to the database,) he is running in a virtual machine and in my experience it has been noted that when you want to run something to test performance you do NOT run it in a virtual machine, but again that’s just my opinion.
Anyhoo, to get back on topic. HARD-WiRE is now WordPress 2.5 and we’ll see if we get enough traffic to cause any damage, although seeing as how I maybe get 2 to 3 unique visitors a month, I doubt that’s gonna happen.
HARD-WiRE - ReWiredThursday, April 24, 2008 12:20 am
Ok, yeah so the whole building a linux box didn’t go exactly as planned, but I got slackware 12.0 up and running on the old box and now its used for a Counter Strike: Source and Unreal Tournament: Game of the Year server (if interested let me know and I’ll pass on all the necessary details.) for now.
Anyhoo, the whole building a linux box fiasco is now behind me that I have a stable linux-powered machine, and now on to the new question of "What shall I do with this blog?" Well, after some thought I think I am going to start commenting about random tech-based news from around the net and my own personal projects (making this the 234,345,135th useless blog! w00t!)
So here I go with the re-wiring of HARD-WiRE. God help us all.
New New beginnings…Tuesday, February 12, 2008 11:19 pm
Ok, so the FreeBSD didn’t work out for me, I don’t have any blank CD’s left and dont have the ability to merge all the CD’s into a DVD. Since all I have are multiple blank DVD’s, I’m downloading slackware 12.0 and gonna throw that at my box…hmm, sounds kinky, doesn’t it?
