Yes, one month closer to victory!

The server will be going down for a few hours this weekend, while I repartition the windows drive and reinstall Win98. I'll also implement the turn emails at the same time, as they require a server shutdown to get the new --postexec commands to work. Expect a delay from a few hours to a day before the server comes back up.

I will also be starting another set of games next week. Look for the announcements coming soon.

Anything interesting going on?

Just wanted to let you know that from 11.12 to 12.12 I will not be able to play my turns.
I'll probably be able to sneak in a turn 10.12 night, but won't be able to make another until probably 13.12 night.
If you feel like waiting for me, go ahead. If you are mean then just ignore my stale turns and try not to abuse them agaisnt me

Drat! Just missed getting my turn in, before you took the server down.

Hope I have not missed my turn.

Any idea when they are back up? Been down 12+ hrs now AFAIK.

The server is unfortunately still down as it turned out that I also needed to get a new floppy drive for my newer computer before I could make the startup disk necessary to rebuild the server. I'm hoping to get everything reinstalled today or tomorrow depending on my schedule, and have the server back up by Saturday. I have to apologize for the long delay.

Agrajag · #7 December 7th, 2006, 03:33 PM

Also, please upgrade the server to the latest version

That's a relief, was beginning to get worried.

The server is almost back up, except for the fact that the video card cooler fan melted and needs to be replaced.

The server is back up, and should stay up indefinitely now that I've identified and fixed the problem that was crashing it. (Video card overheating to the point that the fan melted to th chip.)

The server is currently running version 3.04, and has a 48 hour time delay before the first turn starts. I'm still looking for a good email notification program that will work with my setup.
