Website news update!
Website news!
Recently, it was brought to my attention that the archiver broke again. Huge shoutout to barbeque for helping me find the error! Fixes were made to that, and also an improvement for distinguishing the new method that fimfiction.net uses to delete a fic. (The API listing does not go away anymore)
The server move went without a hitch and the subsequent "rack" build is working like a charm! I should probably get a UPS to do graceful shutdowns in the event of a power out (it's a backup only, after all), but you can't get one big enough in a store. It would have to be special order. I think I'm going to put off on that for now.
Additionally, Bronycon was awesome! I got to meet a bunch of new people, and even a few that new of fimfetch! **squee!**
Didn't make as much as I'd hoped, but still managed to net about $200 profit for the website - that'll help pay for the domain registration and hosting for a few months :)
Hosting costs have gone up a tad since I lost my free server where I was previously employed, but I don't plan on throwing in the towel just yet. Who knows, maybe I should get some ads.. I don't really know.
Future plans!
I'm going to Ciderfest in two weeks, and I'm running games on Saturday!
Enterplay is sending me hundreds of dollars of merch to give away in tournaments, which is super exciting. No entry fee, draft packs provided!
Also, for late night adult entertainment, I'll also be running a Cards Against Equestria panel at 11pm!
Well, that's about it, unless you want me to start rambling about the technical challenges of keeping this site running. There's a line between enthusiastic and obsession, but I'm not sure where that is.
