Hey, look on the bright side, sure, the game is down, but you can play red remover and you just know we are in for a bucket-full of free stam

It’s back, baby! go wild, burn stam, just don’t mention the lag…

Well, since the game is still down, how about something else to take your mind off it…

Oh, and if you’re curious, no, it isn’t on fire. Scotland has finally succumbed to the robot invasion, the machines are rising against their masters. Right now, HCS are just trying to avoid becoming slaves to our new Shiny Server Overlords…

Maybe this is why they always ask for doubler with 500 max stam…..

Well, christmas has come and gone, and the new year is here! So, the question becomes, what shall we do with it?

Here at fsirc we have tried lots of tweaks and toys, everything from customised sigs to AI stat analysis, some things worked and some things didn’t.  We also spent a lot of time before christmas performing significant upgrades to the technology that runs everything, and now we are left with a good stable platform we can expand on… but how to expand?

This is where we need a little feedback, what do you want to see improved upon or re-implemented?  what toys have you seen that you liked and want to see more of?  feel free to leave a comment and let us know where to head.

not sure what we mean?  well, how about some ideas…

• RSS feeds of your player log, guild log, other things, the titan log…
• IRC stat updates.  when is your stam going to be full, is there a titan on the loose, AH searches…
• Bamboo laptops so that pandas can come on to irc…
• Channels for other HCS games, gothador, sigmastorm…
• Databse Tools.  Automatically search for a best set for a set of stats, compare items, find sets based on gold price, fsp price, holiday specials, common drops etc…

I’m sure you guys get the idea, so go wild, see what you can come up with!

Whenever someone says this to you, here is the answer.

It's the only answer...

Yay!  it’s back up folks, it looks like someone fed the hamsters powering the database server and the game is back up and running.  Admittedly, it is a little slow right now, but that’s expected, it takes a little while for the datbases to get up to speed and for the caches to refill.  Bear with it, it’ll be back up to fll speed before you know it.

Have Fun!

That’s right folks, the game is down again.  Unfortunately, it looks like one of the hamsters powering the database server went crazy and ran off to seville for the weekend.   Still,  Whilst you are waiting, you can always come and chat.

Well, it would seem i haven’t updated in a whole week!

As much as I would like to say shanina has been keeping me busy, unfortunately the truth is much less exciting.

I’ve pretty much been working, standing beside bonfires in the rain, watching fireworks and throwing myself into an awesome fsapi xmlrpc server design, which is going to be the backbone of the shiny new services I keep promising.  With a little luck and a following wind, i’ll be able to get some interface details up onthe labs this week and we can see what we can do with it
