I fixed the problem with Postfix (SMTP) on my server occaisionally dying. The problem it seems was caused by SWGCraft.com using up all the available MySQL connections (for some odd reason, v4.0 set it down to 100 when it was 300 in v3.23). I set the maximum connections for MySQL up to 500. I have also added increased spam protection to my server to kill spams before they even enter the door. It is possible that some people may be negatively affected by this unintentionally. Anybody who has legitimate emails to me blocked should try and contact me via other means (IRC, other email account, etc).

I have a few new features for the COMM bots this week that are in testing (with a likely release date of next weekend. One is a new script which will parse information from various game servers like JO and JA, and output those results to an IRC channel/query. The other script I am working on grabs information from a website, and formats it for output on IRC. The main use of this will be for the much demanded !idline script. This script will likely require me to contact various subgroup webmasters to have a special backend file put in place for the bot (if there is not already one).

I have setup a new IRC channel for the Emperor's Hammer Player Association (SWG/The Fringe) in #SWG. I have placed the COMM bot "Darkfyre" in channel. This channel is to be used for any and all SWG discussion as related to the EH PA and The Fringe. I will be talking to Longshot later during the week about retiring #TheFringe.

dasb0t's homepage has been moved to http://theholo.net/b0t/ and renamed to the "COMM b0t Homepage". The EH Image Archive (EH:IA) has been moved to http://theholo.net/ia/. The IA does not correctly thumbnail PNG images at this time, and I have been unable to find a solution so I will be phasing out all PNG images on the site in the near future. These moves have been made in order to facilitate the greater integration among COMM run sites that I am planning with the next version of my site.
