Despite my efforts to keep the server running smoothly, it seems Apache and MySQL are always kicking out, which means one thing: My code sucks far worse than I thought. I'll work on cleaning some things up in PHPwnage just to keep this site running properly, should be done in a few hours.
e: In sort-of-related news, vBulletin is slow as all hell, but has almost no strain on the CPU. Interesting.
e: That should be it for now. Yes, pages will still take ~1 second to generate, but that's simply because we're running on a single-core 1.3GHz CPU.
e3: I've decided that I'll finally release another PHPwnage update next week consisting of the changes I've made recently. It's going to be 1.9 and there will be a simple, crude update script. It fixes a number of bugs and security holes, and consolidates some things. I'm not quite done with it. |

Mail Room News |

I should add a new forum category and accept comments for these, they happen so often.
I added mailto: link handling the webmail. If you want to use your O-G mail as your primary mail account and have Firefox (or any other browser that happens to accept this form of mailto handler...) use RoundCube for webmail, go to Personal Settings and click the link. Oddly enough, this isn't built in to RoundCube. I'm using my own implementation which needs some work, but that's something for another day. |

Hey, look, we drew a teapot! |

Today is a wonderful day.
A very wonderful day.
Why? Today is the day that I actually start writing the Entropy engine. Today is a day marked by one trivial event: I drew a teacup with the Tao FreeGLUT bindings under C#, and that means today is the first day of development.
"You drew a teacup, whoopty fricken' doo"
Yeah, yeah, shut up, this isn't an achievement at all when it comes to actual physical progress, but it's more of a psychological thing. I finally have absolutely nothing to do, other than typical home work, for the rest of the school year. I have an hour and a half of time with a laptop during school, plus plenty of time after school. While drawing a teacup may seem like the stupidest achievement ever, it still marks the first step in writing the new engine.
Observe the teacup here. |

Sorry about that. Making some minor alterations to my hardware locations. The server is in the same place, but my desktop is now behind a set of cabinets. Long story as to why.
Again, sorry for the down time. Especially when I was posting pictures... |

Alright, this is a quick one, but: the webmail is now available under a secure connection, but it's with a personal certificate, so you'll need to add an exception in FF3 if you want to use it. You can read through the cert to check it out. I'm going to work on moving some other services over as well. |

And yet more news from the server room... |

Our IMAP server is now using proper PAM authentication, so I no longer have a plaintext list of all your passwords. |

Another Mail Update |

One last update for mail: If you have your own domain hosted at O-G (which is... none of you anymore? but hey, maybe in the future), you can set your webmail to send from that domain - assuming I set it up properly for use with Postfix. You can also use @phpwnage.com or @ogunderground.com (note: Any domain set up with the system can be used, and I trust that you'll only use domains that you are part of. Please, don't be an idiot.)
If you have a domain and want a set up on O-G (I'm looking at you, Jarocks, I can even proxy to your own server if you want!), then just pop me a message. |

More News from the Mail Server |

I just added the necessary lines to our postfix configuration to relay through Road Runner, and it seems to be working. That's good news, as it means I should also be able to send to places like my high school, SBC users, and other Road Runner users as well (like my parents, which I just tested and it's working fine).
What does this mean for you? You're now free to use mail.og as a regular mail service. Enjoy.
More on mail.og:
I installed RoundCube a while ago as a simple way to have access to my mail from anywhere with a reasonable browser (despite the warning messages, it'll run fine even in IE5). Recently, I customized the install by adding TinyMCE (for WYSIWYG message editing), a complete Tango icon set, and some LangeNET logos. Just enter your OG account name and password (not your forum account, you need a real user on O-G, if you don't have one, pop me a message), and you'll have a full webmail system with proper outgoing mail. It doesn't automatically filter spam, but with SpamAssassin, you will get ***SPAM*** in front of junk, so just click and drag into your junk folder and all will be well (I'm actually working on this and may end up using an automated solution).
e: Added a default recipe to the global procmail config. Spam is now automatically forwarded to your Junk directory. Enjoy. |

My (Internet) connection just dropped for the most part. While I may have been using a lot of bandwidth over the past month (23GB down, 17GB up in October, including only days after I installed dd-wrt; 12GB down, 8GB up so far this month), I have no caps. Also, the sudden drop, yet still-kind-of-connected-ness as shown here while pinging Google:
Code: 64 bytes from 64.233.187.99: icmp_seq=140 ttl=238 time=39.7 ms
64 bytes from 64.233.187.99: icmp_seq=142 ttl=238 time=128 ms

64 bytes from 64.233.187.99: icmp_seq=179 ttl=238 time=184 ms
Leads me to one conclusion: weather. O-G is in Ohio, and when the weather gets crappy, it gets crappy.
Well, you'll know when we're back up. In the meantime, guess I can't work on my Common App...
e: Yep, things are going in and out. Had it for a few minutes. Saw BTGII come online, now things are going right back down the hole.
