sinjunMust be driving superstitious lycanthropes nuts.
Okay, so I was up until midnight doing some Briarholt RP, and some ... uhm ... suggesting to the code happy people on GreyScans. The result is that Felix is working away on one of the things I /really/ want to see done. Yay! And Aleriel is dealing with the other. Oh, this just so entirely makes my day. It's good to have capable friends. Thank you both!
And we have an unfinished scene or 4 that I need to get done eventually. So, whatelse is new?
Personally, I'm currently working on the MountCoast City map. This will probably help Felix with his coding. Or at least, it might. We can figure out the DNS server type thing anyway. I'm curious to know how much this will slow things down, Felix. If at all. Anyway, once the map is together and online, we can get the building going. This works for me, and a few others I can name. ;)
See, I have two choices when it gets to be October. I can either get depressed, or I can get busy.
Guess which one I'm choosing?
In other news, there isn't any really. My Mom has the flu. I have a vicious headache today that won't go away. And I don't want to be at work. Other than that, things are great. Think I'll buy a lottery ticket. Maybe it will win. ;) After all, today is a double good luck day.
And psionics definitions/descriptions is in progress. Really it is. ;)
Hey Reefster? Does your kitten have a name yet?
So all in all, my brain is going a mile a minute on the event, on Greyscans, and on Realmwalkers ... plus a few other sidelines.
*beams* Okay, people... are you ready for this?

Huh?
Actually... what I wanna know is...
If we get a virtual server up and running for our realmwalkers.com website, can we host the game on it directly and screw paying another hosting service??

Ayep. I got 4.5 pages written so far...*beam*

Honestly, you have much more chances of hosting the website/domain name on Mudservices or whatever other MU* host. Website hosts (especially free ones) don't allow running processes that are left when the user logs off.. nevermind the fact that you need shell access, open port, blah.
Now, hosting the website on Mudservices is much more doable. Though they require you to register the domain name with specific registrar (don't ask me. I too find that annoying). You can transfer domain names between registrars, though. Can't remember if you have to pay for that though. Logic suggests that there should be a fee of some sorts.

Date: 2000-10-13 02:47 pm (UTC)Some places give you a /real/ virtual server, including root access.
If greyscans ends up on one of those, then hosting the game from there will /not/ be a problem.
In fact, you could do pretty much anything you liked on it.
Of course, that's probably not what she meant. :o)

Date: 2000-10-13 02:56 pm (UTC)With the right hardware you can run multiple OSes on one machine.
I think one of IBM's Big Iron manged to run several thousand 'virtual' machines, running a seperate Linux on each one.
With a server like that, you get a set chunk of memory, disc and swap. They'll probably set most things up for you, but you can do pretty much whatever you like - including stuff that requires root.
Have I mentioned yet how much I want one of those cirtual server accounts? ;o)

Date: 2000-10-13 03:07 pm (UTC)Speaking of.. how long does RS have till it gets shut down for non-payment?
Re: busybusybusybusybusybusybusybusy...
Date: 2000-10-13 05:51 pm (UTC)I certainly wouldn't jump through hoops to transfer a domain to them.
Hell, I just wouldn't transfer it full stop.
Find a new host.
Does the current domain host give you (and I'm speaking to Sin here, since I know she'll get this too) access to the zone file? If it does you can set it up like I did for Century, where century.wibbble.org.uk points at Century's host.
As for RS.. shit, I've no idea.
