SP Happenings #2
Posted Tuesday, June 17, 2003 - 17:07 CET by Sorcerer

Nothing much has happened around SP since the last SP Happenings. The only major news item till next week will probably be tomorrow's release of Shadows of Undrentide, the first Neverwinter Nights expansion. Since there were practically no decent, free walkthroughs made for the original game, Slappy will be making an online one for SP, so keep an eye out for that if you get stuck playing SoU. We will, of course, be posting links to the gazillion sites which will be posting SoU reviews here on the front page.

My last week's pet peeve has finally been resolved, so time is ticking properly on the server now, and self-correcting if needed. It might seem trivial to worry about time so much, but many things on the server depend on the time being correct. Most notably the message boards, where people start PMing me when they see the time on their posts 5 hours behind the time when they posted... And if a day's worth of time gets lost and is corrected (something which happened to us once), all hell breaks loose on the boards.

Incidentally, if there are any programmers out there reading this, I could use some help with a SP-related task. It would involve writing a program which would run on a Linux platform and have a web interface, but otherwise would not be very complex. Anyone interested can drop me an ICQ message at UIN 1508832, e-mail me, or talk to me in the chatroom.

Next site update is still on the schedule for start of July.
