Communications Office News
Well, some good news this week. I was able to finally fix the problems that the EH Image Archive had with resizing PNG images. After much debugging, the problem was found to be a bug in libpng. I have a load of pics to add tonight (thanks to the HF), so check it out some time later today.

I have upgraded to the most recent patch release of PHP 4 (v4.3.4) on the COMM server. This release fixes yet more bugs in PHP.

I have been auditing the EH Forum moderators this week. Some people may have had their access accidently removed, if this is the case, please email me and I will correct the matter. I have also closed several squadron forums, as well as a wing forum. This means that people will not be able to post in them until said squadron(s) or wing get reopened.

Work is slowly, but steadily progressing on my completely new codebase for the COMM/IBC/Fringe site. I am going to set a release date for a basic, but functional version of the codebase for the COMM and IBC websites for next Saturday (November 15th). The Fringe site will be released the following weekend. The sites will not have absolutely all features I have planed for them included at release, rather any extra features will be added as time goes on.

Once I have progressed to a suitable level of functionality on the COMM/IBC/Fringe websites, I am going to rewrite my MoC awarding code that I had originally written for phpBB 2.1 (in anticipation of v2.2) for the 2.0 codebase that I currently run. This long overdue decision has been made due to the glacial pace of development of the next generation of phpBB. I will be working with OPS Alex Foley to fine tune the MoC system.

As of today dasb0t and silentone have reached 170 days of continuous uptime. Chewie is currently at 103 days of continuous uptime. The COMM server hosting theholo.net & swgcraft.com is now at 234 days of continuous uptime.

I have setup an EH search engine based off of the mnoGoSearch package at http://theholo.net/search/. Right now it only indexes a few EH sites, such as the EH domain, the subgroup websites, the COMM & IO websites. If people like it enough, please email me to tell me so and I will expand it to index more EH sites. This search engine is like a small "Google" for EH sites, a serious search engine with a database backend, but on a smaller scale.

I am still accepting applications for COMMA, for details please see the EH Forum: http://theholo.net/mb/viewtopic.php?t=9388.
