Paragon City History and other CoH information
Friday, June 4th, 2004Guild Forum / Portal Software
Thursday, May 27th, 2004I’ve been asked / volunteered to help set up and run a website for the Super Group I’ve joined in City of Heroes. (Chutta is currently running the group, if anyone cares.)
Anyway - I’m willing, and its not like I don’t have any experience with community sites. But it has been a while. Does anyone have any suggesstions for software? I’m imagining something similar to PHP-Nuke, but PHP-Nuke type sites tend to feel kludgy to me, as a user. (The notable exception was PlanetJumpgate.) I’ve got a valid vBulletin licence at my disposal, but somehow that seems over-kill for what we’re planning.
Basically what I’m going for is a basic guild news and information site with messageboards and possibly a group calander for scheduling events.
Any thoughts/sugestions for good (hopefully free) CMS software packages to look at?
-Hool
Also - if anyone is playing CoH and is looking to join a Super Group, let me know.

A link to remember
Thursday, May 27th, 2004Been trying to track down some info on the backstory for City of Heroes. All I’ve found are references to it in game reviews and such, but I did come across a link I want to check out when I get home.
And a peripherary disadvantage to working nights: The supergroup I’m in is primarily made up of co-workers. They’re hardly ever on when I play becuase of my schedule. Looks like I need to start a night time recruitment drive.
Deja-vu
Sunday, May 23rd, 2004You ever get that feeling that you’ve done something before?
I’m feeling that way at work right now. We just finished restarting a project because of a server failure, for the second time this week. For those of you playing along at home, this is the 3rd time this project has been started. (Last time we lost almost 2 weeks of work. This time, we lost about 3 days.) Same project, same kind of failure, different server. (If I’m not mistaken this was the replacement hardware that was set up after the last failure.)
would rather be home smashing stupid badguys in City of Heroes.
That reminds me… Gossip, if you read this - can we get a “Games / MMOGs / COH” category?

Page Twenty Three: Sentance Five
Wednesday, April 21st, 2004Take the next book you see, open it to page 23 and post the 5th (complete) sentance from that page. (It seems this little game has become an epidemic in the blogworld)
Anyway, here’s mine:

Spaced Penguins
Saturday, March 20th, 2004I’ve been looking for this flash game since I saw Pya!… For some reason I was convinced “Kevin” was a chicken, not a penguin. So I ws looking for AstroChicken or something similar. (Anyone familiar with Dyson?)
SO around a bout the time I gave up looking I found it: [Link]
Funny how that works some times.
(Be warned the game is VERY addictive.)
Somewhat demented flash game.
Monday, March 15th, 2004I can only seem to get the penguin to a distance of 1195.4. Can you do better?
Gamer oriented IM
Saturday, January 31st, 2004So, a guy I used to work with at 3DO (well a couple of them, actually) is working on a new project: Xfire. Basically, it’s an IM client that allows people on your buddy list to see what game you’re playing, and for some games, will let them instantly join the server you’re on. For other games, it will give them the server details so they can find it themselves. It also has a cool “Friends of Friends” feature, to help you find new people to play against (or with) online.
Its in beta right now, and supports a whole slew of games (more than they have listed on thier site.) Check it out, if you don’t mind another chat client on your system. If you want to add me and can’t figure out what my username is, well… 
I know I fixed those typoes before posting… I just know I did…
