Jedi Academy Server Going Down
2008.08.23 04:48 UTC
I have said before that the only foreseeable way I would shut down the Jedi Academy server is if I stopped playing the game, and I have not played it at all in so long that it should be no surprise when I say that I am no longer going to run the server. I do not even have the will to run the game to play on the server one last time; that is about how disinterested I have become in Jedi Academy. I have no idea when the server will finally go down, but it will definitely be in less than a month, so enjoy it while it lasts.
Fixed Bug

I just fixed a bug that had apparently been around since I switched hosts which prevented people from posting. That is all.
Cyber Nations Calculator
2007.09.18 00:03 UTC
I wanted to do more to the calculator I made for Cyber Nations before I put it out to the general public, but I just cannot get around to doing what I want to finish it. It still works fine, but isn't too user friendly right now.
It's a decent web-based comparative calculator that you can see the difference between what you have now, and what you might think of changing your set up to and such. I'm not going to go into too much detail about it here, as I'm sure most can figure most of it out. The only thing that may be annoying is manually entering the data, which was in the works to rectify, but like I said I haven't been able to finish it.
Also, a link: Cyber Nations Calculator.
Jedi Academy Server Explodes
2007.09.17 23:53 UTC
Well, it doesn't really explode, but died none-the-less. New server at 75.125.40.35, or alternatively at ja.c2t.us when the new DNS info propagates.
New Servers
2007.08.28 00:35 UTC
Pretty much everything I have online is hosted on different servers now. This site is now hosted with someone else, and my Jedi Academy server is now back to its old IP.
I had been looking for a different host for the site for some time now. Since my next payment for the old host was about to be due, I switched to a different host that's been around just as long as the old one, and offered much more for less cost. This move was obvious.
As for the Jedi Academy server switching, that came as a delightful surprise. I got an email yesterday saying that they were switching their servers around and to sum it up, the server is back on the old IP. Ever since they moved me from it certain applications wouldn't recognize the new IP, so it's kind of nice to have working toys again. The new/old IP is 69.93.11.107, and I have ja.c2t.us pointing to it already, though it might take a day or so to propagate.
Image Gallery Thumbnails
2007.05.28 03:37 UTC
What's an image gallery without thumbnails? Well, just a directory browser, which is what my image gallery was until I just now added thumbnails to it. It only took me almost a year to get around to doing it, so enjoy.
Removed Rant
2007.05.22 14:16 UTC
Well, I posted a rather long rant yesterday about my Reflected Wave program, and how I believe I was robbed of a guaranteed 'A' in my programming class because of it. I put my anger and frustration to good use and changed the site around a little bit, and after cooling down I just removed the rant.
I still think I was robbed though.
Reflected Wave
2007.05.22 07:49 UTC
I figured I'd separate this from my rant, because I'm sure no one would notice it if it was buried in such a large post.
I have added my Reflected Wave program I did for my programming professor to the files page under "Reflected Wave." Source code my be posted later if I ever feel like it.
Archived News Changed
2007.04.24 15:44 UTC
About the only thing I have done lately is change the way my archived news works. Truth be told I actually did it several months ago, but there was a rather significant bug that stopped me from putting it up. It was not until today, out of nowhere, when I was trying to focus on some homework, that I thought of the way to fix it. Strange, I know, but either way it works now. Basically, it's just categorized by year instead of the rather long, ever-growing, list of previous posts I've made.
That is likely to be the last thing I do for the site until summer break hits.
Jedi Academy Server Change
2007.03.07 01:26 UTC
I haven't been playing Jedi Academy much lately. As a matter of fact, I don't think I've touched it for nearly two months, mostly due to homework. Well, I'm on spring break, and I figure I'd go ahead and jump on my server and duel some people. I quickly find that it's down. I check a friend's server that using the same service to see if they're down too, but they're not. So, I go see just how long it might have been down using ServerSpy. It basically says the last time someone was on it was February 28. That's almost a full week it's been down. They did just change over to a new system, so I kind of gave them some leeway when the server was intermittently down for a week or so. But for a whole week after they seemly have fully switched over the their new system?
Of course with their new system, I didn't have an account anymore so I couldn't make a support ticket, so I sent the host an email saying the server has been down a week. The turn-around for the reply was under 2.5 hours, so it wasn't too bad. They set up an account on their new system, set up the server, and refunded me my last month's payment. I don't think it's too bad, considering I haven't really been using it lately, but I'm sure if I was playing it everyday like I used to I would have caught it much earlier. Oh well, a free month isn't all that bad.
I never wanted an IP change, but I guess it'll have to be that way. The new server IP for the Jedi Academy server is 74.52.117.180:29070. I already set up some DNS for it, so it can also be reached at ja.c2t.us:29070.
New Forums, Site Design, etc
2007.02.10 03:33 UTC
So, I got my new forum up. It only took several months, but I finally got around to it. It might find some use I suppose. Who knows? I switched completely from using phpbb as the backend I was using for this news page to the new forum, so I can say adios to phpbb for good. I will not miss it at all.
Some may notice the site design almost matches the one I did for Clan YV. Well, you would be right, because I basically just copy/pasted it. It just is infinitely easier to use a template I had already done and modify it, than to start from scratch. I haven't really modified it much, and I only really changed the inner-workings of the site to match it for now.
Oh, and one day I'll get around to making the image gallery thing pretty, with thumbnails and all. One day...
If there's any problems you encounter on the site, or have any comments/questions/etc, just post it to the forum. Unlike the phpbb I was using before, this forum has a RSS feed, so I'll know if you post even if I don't check the site for weeks or even months like I normally do. Thanks, and enjoy.
