The Random Thoughts of Wighar Stamfaste

The Portal A couple of weeks ago I began to prepare for changes to The Second Sun that I mentioned in my last posting, changes as in replacing the system that is showing that we need to upgrade, so I have been checking on some CMS (Content Management System) to replace it with. There are many problems with doing such an operation, we had a major failure during an update of the forum software during its RC (Release Candidate) versions, think this was version RC4 to RC5, which crashed during the update sequence and I was the one handling the update, what went wrong is still a mystery to me cause it hadnt failed on any other site i updated it on, the end result was a backup of the database I made for safety and old files, however something was still wrong as almost all accounts on the forum had there passwords broken. After the next RC update was available I hoped that it would fix some of the problems that the previous caused, that is about the same time I noticed that the forum stated that the Database version was RC6, but the admin panel said the forum was RC5..., yeah I was suprised, did like standard saved backups and uploaded the new patch, running the new patch the database was updated without problem however when i uploaded the updated files the forum went over to a white screen, so yeah I used the backups to role back and it worked, however even though i roled back the database it was now saying that its database was RC7.... and no update after this went any good at all. I am hoping that a new CMS will fix it totaly, but problem with the user accounts and the forum remains as there is no 100% way to convert the forums and accounts without problems... ~this isn't going anywhere, so let's do something different.~ Thy morning... I have been thinking lately about how my sleeping affects me and how i try to stay awake and a bit more alert in the day, this morning I did something that at least made me feel more awake, Started the morning with a ice-cold Monster Energy - Ripper with breakfast, and a B-50 vitamin pill during lunch so I stay awake. Seems that the combination works, at least so far it has worked, more on this some other time prehaps. November Releases This November in accordance to most media I have read and heard the following games are on my Pre-Order List for this month, Due to the agoraphobia I mostly stay inside and playing games is somewhat of a hobby these days rather then a time passing tool or addiction. The List (in no particular order): Dragon Age: Origins Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Left 4 Dead 2 The Sims 3: World Adventures Assassin's Creed II Tropico 3 Cannot think of anything else to write about now, so I will end it here, have a good read and may the force be with you til Star Wars the old Republic MMO is released, then your on your own :D
