Rawr!

Tue, 22 Mar 2011 05:53:50 +0000

Hey Kids!

It seems my membership expired. That's not cool. Anywho, I guess I could say I'm back on a part time basis. I miss a few of the games and a few of the people, and being self employed now gives me a lot more time to play with.

Where have I been?

Sweden.

It's cold there.

Back in England temporarily, going to Florida in May.

GetMedal() Modifications

Sun, 20 Dec 2009 17:31:10 +0000

Well,

Format:
GetMedal(medal, player, hub=world.hub)

Returns:
1 if the medal has been earned by the player
0 if the medal has not been earned
A list of medals in list2params() format if checking all medals
null if the hub cannot be contacted

Lets face it. It only does two things, when it can do many things. How about we have it return a few more things?

For example, Medals on the hub have icons and description, yet we can't grab that to use in a game? Why not? It should be simple enough. Just throw in an /image for the icon, and throw another list back with the list of medals containing the description.

How is not my business, but I'm sure people will agree this would be a very useful addition.

Just a suggestion. Support me plz.

SNOW!

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 15:19:34 +0000

I'll keep this short. I've got snowball fights to win.

In England, it snowed. Couple of inches. More to come tonight.

Here's pics.

There's a hill near where I live that's quite a busy one... it had to be closed today. This is why.

That last picture of a bus hitting a car - the car actually slid down and hit the bus. It might look like a non-steep slope at the angle i took the photo at - but it's a near 30degree slope.

AND

No snow day is complete without a snowman. I opted for a semi-realistic version. It's not finished yet, I ran out of snow. It's snowing tonight, so I hope that'll top up my garden for me to finish it.

BYONDMail Server Issues

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 20:33:25 +0000

Well, unfortunately do to our main ISP having issues that we at BYONDMail aren't willing to accept any more, we've had to bring the server down temporarily untill we find a more stable ISP to go with.

The process of getting a new ISP, setting up the servers and making all the neccesary adjustments to BYONDMail to have it working smoothly might take anywhere up to 48 hours - but I sincerely hope that it'll be back up sooner than that.

I apologise to any regular users of BYONDMail and it is our aim to have the service back up as soon as humanly possible.

BYONDHost Price Opinion Poll

Sat, 05 Dec 2009 23:40:41 +0000

With BYONDMail well under development and improving its service on a daily basis, we've (WebSpayce) decided to begin working on BYONDHost - a service for BYONDers to get their games hosted cheaply and effectively, on a stable and reliable server.

I'd like to know what you think of pricing options, so we can better get an idea of what the community is looking at to realistically pay for a game being hosted.

I'd also like voters to comment on what they think packages should include, space/bandwidth wise, and if we should include a subdomain for accounts and games so that they can have a small site for the game.

It's also in the works that BYOND Members will recieve a hefty discount - if you think this is a good idea then also say so - ideas on what kind of percentage you think is good are welcome.

BYOND Logo Redesign

Sat, 05 Dec 2009 18:42:25 +0000

Many have called for redesigns, revamps and other drastic measures to improve BYOND. Many would argue that BYOND is not 'Web 2.0' enough or doesn't have the bells and whistles most websites do these days.

I have taken it upon myself to improve upon the original BYOND Atom Logo. The idea was to make it more modern. I hope I've done so.

Please decide whether you like the old or new one. Hopefully this may induce some action if enough people say something.

BYONDMail Back Up

BYONDMail is backup and fully operational.

If you experience any problems, let me know, and I'll try to sort them out ASAP.

There's also a few notable changes to the design of the site to make it more appealing. Let me know what you think.

Thanks!

BYONDMail Partially Back Up

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 02:01:00 +0000

Well, http://byondmail.com works just fine - the mailservers are back up and it should be working fine as far as I know.

However, the http://www.byondmail.com address does not work yet. I'm not sure why, but I'm figuring it out.

Hopefully it'll be working fully soon.
