What I Decided To Do With EFX

Please pass links to this post around. :)

I think we all know the situation with the domain name registry here. Looks like it's going to be running out at the end of April / beginning of March, and despite many many repeated efforts, I haven't been able to contact Keith. I've seen him log on to MSN a tonne of times over the past three weeks, and every time I've messaged him, I've had no reply. Make of that what you will.

Meanwhile, Utahcon's looking after EFx2.info, but is hideously busy with his own real life to be doing much there. He also had some trouble adding other people as administrators, so he was the only person able to do anything on there.

I got fed up of not being able to contact people. I got fed up of the situation not being under our control and of this site potentially crashing and burning before our very eyes.

So I decided, with Jaco's help (huge help), to take matters into my own hands.

www.efx3.com

It does run on wordpress, and I know a lot of people aren't comfortable with the control panel there. However, it is the latest release of the WordPress MU software and the control panel is much more user-friendly. That being said, I WILL be making a tutorial for navigating it.

It's a work in progress. It already has customisations that the .info site doesn't have. At this point I should mention that Utahcon knows all about the efx3 site and is all in favour. After all, it'll give him a break. Photostyle is also on the admin team, Psyphen is also hovering around on-hand, and all of the above have admin access. We'll also be downloading a backup of the entire site occasionally (like once a month) and sending it around so that we're not the only people with the database, just in case something goes wrong.

I'm sure you can all see how we already have systems and measures in place that cover efx2.com's failings. Take a look a the site - in particular take a look at what we plan to do there, and what we've already done in the mere week since we installed it.

We're hoping it'll take over from this efx when the inevitable happens - the domain name runs out and we fail miserably in its renewal. Hell, even if it does get renewed, the efx3.com site might end up being more stable and therefore possibly better.

So consider it open for registration. Please, go ahead and make blogs there and watch how quickly we progress with developing it. If you like it, pass the word around. Maybe we can get some of the old fex'ers back in town.

Naked MMO-ing FTW!

(Read into that ENTIRELY too much, if you will - you'd probably be on the right track ;) )

((It's so much more fun when the person you're MMO-ing with knows you're a naked girl who is MMO-ing with him...))

If he's filling her brain, I think he's in entirely the wrong place.

:D

Mwahahah.

Had a nightmare-free night last night. I did have one dream but it was inconsequential stuff and wasn't disturbing in any way. I got a full 8 hours sleep.

Tonight, I have a night of gaming planned. Not a huge night - just a few hours of having fun and hanging out. |o/

I hate my bank. I'm with Barclays, who are international and one of few banks who haven't been in the news lately as being affected by this 'credit crunch' stuff... so y'know, they're doing fine. However the branch in town now doesn't open on a Saturday, and their weekday hours are 9:30 - 4pm.

The 'average person' works 9 - 5.

NINEEE TOOO FIVEEEEE, you dipshit bank you! GAAAHHH!!

P.S., just to make you all jealous - I didn't put weight on this christmas. Actually, I LOST weight.

Booyakasha.
