There is now a new Catskills news forum. Any posts made there will be displayed on the PGoH home page.

FYI: geocities will not allow you to link to their images from other websites.

Really? Wonder why they are making it so they don't spawn anymore. Kinda silly.

Sorry, but what won't work once AOS hits? Can't follow the logic of this post.

Yes, my fisherman could use a new Katana as well (GM swords, tactics, parry, fishing, 95.5 anatomy). He is my new warrior since my other accounts are going to be scraped.

Hmm, perhaps a double axe too.....

We are now using invision board, which is PHP based.

I bet the $15 cards are the 100MB ones.

Credit Card-Size Hard Drive Can Hold 5GB

Cheap, thin, flexible StorCard expected to become available this year.

Take a look at one of those credit cards in your wallet. That's the exact size and thickness of an upcoming, revolutionary removable storage device called StorCard.

Created by a company with the same name, StorCard can contain from 100MB to more than 5GB of data on a plastic card. At first glance, it looks like a credit card, and even has a magnetic strip like a credit card, for potential use in standard credit card readers.

The hard disk data, however, is accessed on a tiny spinning disk inside the thin card.

"The card actually has moveable parts inside its thin shell," says Bill Heil, vice president of StorCard.

A spinning wheel made of Mylar is engaged when the card is inserted into a StorReader, a USB-connected drive or PC Card that reads and writes to the StorCard. The reader is expected to retail for under $100 and the cards for under $15 each, Heil says.

Deal in the Works

The StorCard and StorReader are scheduled to become available in the second half of 2003. The company is talking with media producers, and a partnership announcement with a widely recognized producer of blank media is expected in the next month, Heil says.

Amazingly, within the card is an on-board processor containing integrated software controls that can encrypt data securely in real time.

"The combination of high capacity [and] an inexpensive price point makes StorCard a viable solution for consumers and businesses alike," Heil says. Also, the card--like a credit card--is extremely flexible, without risking damage to the data it contains, he says.

StorCard promises the tiny hard drive will provide high performance to quickly handle large amounts of data. It will support a volume sufficient to stream media files, for example, according to Heil. As a result, the StorCard could store even material that previously would fit only on a DVD.

Actually those emotes have always been there.. I just never enabled them.

Since ikonboard was being a hog on the system resources... we had to move to a php board. Hopefully this one will work out okay. I was able to move all of the old posts and accounts over to these new forums. There should be no problems with logging in. If you find any errors when posting/surfing around, let me know.

whatever

This is what was sent to me.

The load issue became a problem last night.  There were many ikonboard scripts running and they were not closing quickly, but staying in the run queue for up to half an hour.  This was causing a load issue which was affecting some of the other domains on the server.

However, as this does not appear to be a repeat issue or an intentional abuse the scripts have been reenabled for monitoring.

Web forums are highly resource intensive, especially the Perl/SQL variety due to the requirement for having to spawn a new process for every request as well as well as the additional SQL overhead.

The issues may have been caused by an ikonboard scripting bug or a database that needs maintenance.

If ikonboard has a PHP version, perhaps you could try that, as it would be parsed with Apache's built in PHP parser instead of having to create the CGI process for every hit.

So I will be looking at PHP boards. Ikonboard is still in beta with its PHP board.

To bad we won't be able to get that large of a foot print in game! Unless you own a large house.

Indeed, good post.

That is pretty cool. Now all I need to get is a bigger house in trammel Even though I could get three floors out of my small sandstone now. Here are a few pics that I did in 5 mins. The system is really easy to use.

Well, didn't get any booze... spent most of the day trying to find a place for my logitech z680 subwoofer.
