Yeah I've been really excited. Progress has been lightning speed relative to the past year.

I like where this is going! WPF with MVVM is really cool. Maybe before long I can start helping you out again.

Cool, thanks!

htdocs is the group I use for restricting permissions to web stuff, but I didn't know you could do that.

PS: I forgot ,

chown apache: $dir

the ":" automagicly picks the default group of the user.

An actual restart of apache is not needed coz you only added something to the config . So apache2ctl graceful is sufficient I think .
This also prevents users of other sites on thesame server to not get disconnected .

maybe before the restart / gracefull another check can be added like :

/usr/sbin/apache2 -S | grep OK

Just my 5 cents

Cheerio's

I've moved some stuff arround coz I did not like adding everything to the default_vhost.conf

I also added a custom log file and added some allow permission stuff

Re: New Host

Ortzinator — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 15:44:36 -0000

Well, with my crappy ISP, it's hard to tell. So I guess I'll never notice. :P

Having used dreamhost for a couple months now, I can tell you that saying "no more downtime!" is going to haunt your dreams... thoroughly.

Oh, I didn't notice Wordpress encoded them. Thanks Driusha! I'll try to fix that.

"<" and ">" should replace whith "".

I capped it from some other site. I just thought it was funny.

Maybe instead of commenting on blogs you should use some grammar lessons.

Re: OrtzIRC Update

Ortzinator — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 14:47:09 -0000

You did show me those but I forgot. Thanks.

Re: OrtzIRC Update

Max Schmeling — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 12:02:37 -0000

Also, I thought I should add this. You should try to make your scripting/plug-in system powerful enough that you can implement a lot of the out-of-the-box features in scripts. This way power users can not only add new functionality, but they can tweak bits and pieces of existing functionality to meet their needs and wants.

Re: OrtzIRC Update

Max Schmeling — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 10:59:32 -0000

A couple more years and you'll be knockin' out code faster than me.

I don't remember if I've pointed this out to you before or not, but divil has some good articles on developing a plug-in/scripting system for your application. They're old (written for earlier version of the framework) and introductory, but they're a good place to start. Here's the link: http://divil.co.uk/net/article...

I think having both a plug-in and scripting system is a good idea as long as you make the scripting quick and painless to use. They can both work off the same base system, but the scripting one will just compile the code at run-time rather than loading an assembly.

Also, don't forgot to allow for plug-ins that want to modify the UI, and not just interact with the server/channel objects.

Re: Fancy Mice

Ortzinator — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 23:09:58 -0000

I've been thinking about getting a Logitech G5. It's wired and doesn't have a flared bottom.

Re: Fancy Mice

Megiddo — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 21:24:34 -0000

Personally I always just buy mice when they're at a good price. I used an optical mouse I got for $6 until it was barely functioning, then I bought the mouse woot.com had a couple months ago. It's a gaming mouse, so it's pretty nifty.

As far as wireless, I've never used 'em. I think it's a pain in the butt to have wireless because you're always replacing the battery. Just stick with good ol' wired.
