"I paid $3 for a one month subscription, so I can create LJ users out of RSS feeds, for those rebels who prefer to run their own blog. " -Krhainos I know I can't speak for everyone, but I love running my own website. It is an extremely fun and cool project that I started for myself way back in the end of the DGS times. It started when codex effectively kicked the DGS site off his server for whatever reason, although the LAN Party was on its last legs at that time anyways. I had this crappy computer lying around that was the "DGS Server" although it really didn't do anything. Most of the time I ended up using my own computer for serving games. I also wanted to get into linux which, if you remember, I had codex install for me during one of the parties. At first, aphelion.sytes.net was run on 2000 professional, sitting in my mom's basement and did nothing. It didn't even host my website at that point. I think it ran a ventrillo server for tim and that was it. Once we moved into the Brimfield house, I brought it there and formatted it into Suse linux. At this point I had been playing with unix on my powerbook, and knew how to do linux compiling. I played around Suse, but they have their own installer, and I never got it working quite the way I wanted it to, except for an IRC server, so I formatted it into Whitebox linux. This is what the server still runs. It's dreamy, stable, and oh so much fun. It's been hell trying to get every damn permission correct, and even today I find that my username still doesn't have permissions on some files on my homepage :P I like pmachine, and I've figured out how to upgrade it from 2.2.1 free to 2.4 professional, so a major site upgrade is in the works, but not until the flight team competition is over. I like how everyone's site is tying together now with RSS, thanks to Jo, but I'm still keeping my site on my server and continuing to be a rebel. I know it's easy to create a livejournal and keep up with everyone easily though LJ and stalkbook, I mean facebook. But as always, I don't like anything that's popular, right? Why would I give up my project after so much success? It's too much fun.

Recently I noticed that Tim's Trancender website (http://swiftwulf.werewolfsmg.net) was...populated by some great philosophers discussing religion over such things as free online poker and texas hold-em. My first impression was to (of course) join in the conversation but then I realized the gravity of the situation. These philosophers seemed to care more about poker and websites than love and truth! This could mean only one thing: Out there, in the interweb, there must be an evil mastermind attempting to destroy the paradise that is pmachine. Not only is this mastermind completely and totally evil to the core, but it also attempts to stimulate intelligent conversation with you, spouting such wisdom as
"Our belief in any particular natural law cannot have a safer basis than our unsuccessful critical attempts to refute it." by internet poker. Now I am finding this laughable and appalling at the same time. Whether I am appalled so much that I am laughing, or laughing so much that I am appalled, I may never know. What I do know is that swiftwulf's site got hit, and so did darkmercury.net/gaming So now I am thinking...why isn't darkmercury.net worthy of having the world's greatest philosophers debating their wisdom over a lovely game of internet poker? And the only answer I have is that my comment entry page is not the pmachine standard. It does not include a spot for your email address, while all the other sites do. And so, by this simple truth, I have come to the conclusion that these evil masterminds are not educated philosophers, but mere spam bots, algorithms even, that were defeated by a much more serious, more evil mastermind: yours truely. The following IPs have been BANNED from /gaming/ 212.202.5.147 205.234.174.55 203.122.28.226 82.80.49.205 62.100.23.44 200.21.45.4

I just completely overhauled the Kent State Anime Club website. You can see before: http://www.ksuanime.net/oldsite after: http://www.ksuanime.net I used Mambo to create the site, and I have to say I'm pleased with it. Those who helped me create this website know that I am an expert in pmachine, but when it comes to modules and components like xoops and drupal, I am a newbie. So I had to learn all this stuff from scratch, although I think I did a good job with the site. I don't like the main image at the top, but it was not my choice. The next logo will be designed with this site in mind, so it will look better later. I seriously doubt that I will redo this site with mambo because pmachine still does the job here.
