Admin power tripping

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

Gee, a network admin on a power trip. Who would have thought?

So what do you get when you have a bunch of network admins each having their own plan for running a community network? CHAOS!

This is suppose to be a community network guys, you have been chosen by the members to make sure things run smooth on all the highsites, not to use it as a testing ground for all your scripts and methods you think could work. I personaly think if you think you need to run or test anything on a highsite it should be voted in by the users. You may think you have the power that be, but be warned a simple majority vote by members and you’ll have no power at all.

Perhaps all admins should have a read through the code of conduct and constitution again just to be reminded what they may and may not do. And if you feel something is degrading service heavy run your sollution by all the members not just a certain PRO group. Every member is part of this community not just a certain group.

Heck, this network is heading in the way the majority of game servers on the internet is ran; all ran by power-tripping morally-lacking morons, and that is not what we want.

So to put it simple, step up and start doing things the right way or just step down.

Google Chrome Download

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

For those wanting to try out the beta version of Google’s all new browser Google Chrome, it can be downloaded here. Currently the download is only available to windows users for beta testing, so the linux guys will have to wait a bit longer for this one.

Google launching browser

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

Google Chrome, free open source browserGoogle will today launch it beta version of Google Chrome, a open source browser to go head to head with Firefox and the likes.

So why are they launching Chrome? Because they believe they can add value for users and, at the same time, help drive innovation on the web.

Google’s aim is to provide a fresh new browser built from scratch, in fact the first multi threaded browser. Under the hood, they were able to build the foundation of a browser that runs today’s complex web applications much better. By keeping each tab in an isolated “sandbox”, they were able to prevent one tab from crashing another and provide improved protection from rogue sites. They improved speed and responsiveness across the board. They also built a more powerful JavaScript engine, V8, to power the next generation of web applications that aren’t even possible in today’s browsers.

Apparently this is just the beginning, Google Chrome is far from done, this beta is only being released to Windows clients to start a broader discussion and to get input from the public as soon as possible.

As soon as the donwload is available I will post a link and info here.
