     I'm adding a new feature, the Link of the Moment. Basically, it's a link to something I find funny/interesting/strange/etc. and want to share. Isn't that nice of me? There's no set time that I will update it, hence it's the Link of the Moment.

    The first one is Mario Twins by DarKnight13.

    6:49a ~ Party like it's 1989!
     So, how many of you are old enough to remember Garbage Pail Kids? I miss my collection. It was a very, very good one, 99% complete at the time. Then some l4m3r stole it. Anyway... with Haloween coming up, I'm going to try to add a little Halloween-ness to the site. Dunno how well it will go over/how much I'll get done. What ever I do, it will probably only affect the main page. Waaaay too much hassle to change every page.

     Meanwhile, please, vote in my poll. I've only had one vote, and that was by me. I really need to know if you like the flash nav bars or not, so I know if I should keep them or ditch them. Please. Thanks.

    8:34p ~ Pack your bags...
     Well, I'll be moving again. GanondorfA was kind enough to host me. A nice bonus is that I can dragoon Sarev0k into helping me set up a new AcmlmBoard. And I'll probably be learning PHP while I'm at it. w00t. It'll probably be a week or so before the move is complete. I'm also going to get the username & pass for http://sirelric.cjb.net from Phoenix, and have it redirect to wherever the current site happens to be, just in case something happens and I have to move again.

    3:08a ~ Flush
     OK, since nobody voted in my poll concerning the flash nav bars, I've removed them. I did this mainly because they were taking so fricking long to load. For the same reason, I also gave the flash link buttons their own page, which you can access from the Links page.

     In other news, Phoenix was able to send me a copy of my old board, along with the MySQL database. Yay! Thank you, Phoenix! Also, thank you for hosting my board for as long as you could. I truely appreciate it. ^_^

     Finally, everything for the new site is uploaded, and HTML is updated to reflect the new server. I'd like to wait until I get the board up and running before "opening" the new site, but I might "open" it earlier. Depends on how things go. I dunno if I'll be able to do much (or even anything) with PHP, but at the least, I'll probably ask Sarev0k if I can use his news submission script for my site...

     Quickie update: I updated the link to Happypeepeehead's Happy Place. Take your pants off, and go there. NOW!

     Today is Chickencha's birthday. Be sure to stop by the Bastardly Productions Forums, and wish him a Happy Birthday!

    9:07a ~ Please Leave A Message After The Beep...
     Well, I've pretty much got the board up and running now. Not everything is like it used to be, since I'm going to be upgrading it soon, and the upgrade will overwrite most of my customizations. I restored most of the ranks, though I know it's not 100% like it was before. None of the custom avatars are up. While working on Drunkin Gossip, the board for The Sea'z Bounty, I discovered that the newest version of the board has a totally different way of handling avatars. It almost drove me sane trying to figure out how it worked... o_O

     If you regestered an account back when Phoenix was hosting the board, you're account is still there, so all you have to do is log in. All of your posts are there too.

     And that just leaves me giving you the link to the board. Enjoy!

    11:52p ~ Hacking Fantasy
     Well, well, well. I get home from work, boot up my computer, put my daughter back to bed, heat up some dinner, and then check out Zophar's Domain, and what do I see? Disch has finished Final Fantasy Hackster! Version 1.0, along with the source, are now publically available! w00t! If you haven't already, head on over to Disch's page and grab a copy!

    11:19p ~ I'm awake! No! Really!
     I'm still here, just busy. I've been doing a lot of work to help get The Sea'z Bounty, a Baldur's Gate/Infinity Engine Games fan site. Of course, having to reformat & reinstall a few days ago has slowed me down some. :Þ

     In other news, my host, Ganon/Darkside, has re-opened The HyNES Realm. He has also released HyNES v0.9, 1 year after the GUI-demo release. IMO, this emulator looks like it's gonna give NESticle (the best NES emu, IMNSHO) a run for it's money.

     Finally, you can consider this site officially moved to the new host. I'll be updateing http://sirelric.cjb.net to point to the new server soon. Meanwhile, you can use the base URL: http://24.179.3.142/eds. This will be the last update on the AFN server, so please update your bookmarks.
