After 9 years of existence the Ring Of Australian RoleplayING gets its own domain.

www.roaring.net.au

For those unfamiliar with it, the ROARING is a webring of sites about roleplaying in Australia. Containing many sites for RPG conventions, clubs and gaming groups.

Previously hosted on Necronomicon.org, a change in policy by management has seen the need to move the ring’s home site. And I decided that since the ROARING was moving it may as well get its own domain.

So after 9 years, and a number of incarnations of Webring*, the ring is still going. The ring could always do with more members, came add your site today.

* Originally owned by the creators; then sold to Yahoo and manages by the creators; then bought back when Yahoo decided it wasn’t profitable. (Or something like that. All the changes have been lots of ‘fun’ for ring managers.).

Was walking through K-Mart and noticed an item that I thought perfect for every vigilante’s workshop, the Enforcer Drop Saw.

What happened to salearn?

As a displacement activity to studying I decided to train SpamAssassin with the last few months of spam email. Uploaded the mailbox of spam to the server and entered the command salearn and got the error salearn: command not found.

Searching the SpamAssassin site and wiki were no help. After a bit of googling I discovered that the correct command is sa-learn, hmm. But the SpamAssassin wiki didn’t even have a page about that. OK, searching for that as a title found nothing, searching for it in the text produced a number or results.

So for those people forgetting the dash and people clicking the title search button rather than the text button I have added salearn and sa-learn pages that direct to the page with the required info. :)

Discovered the Sutekh wiki. Updated info about Necronomicon and added some pages that were needed, including one about the ROARING.

Bad Planet 1Picked up an interesting comic recently called Bad Planet. A dark sci-fi title. Nice art and interesting dialogue.

Wounding when the next issue would come out I found that this one is dated ‘December 2005′. Half a year ago. A quick google found only references to the first issue of a twelve part series. Ok, there is some mention of issue two and three, but I can’t find any release dates.

So I wounder, did this comic get past issue one? would be worth reading. Will have to chase my local comic shop about this.

Or should that be Virtual Virtual Lemmings? Finished my Uni assignment and thought I would read through other peoples posts about the asignment on the Uni web board. Seems some people were in need of displacement activities and found a web site with Lemmings.

This version of Lemmings has been written in JavaScript. And for a program written in an interpreted language it runs quite smoothly.
