Ari
will be on leave until the 17th of May (Sunday). Please send any
queries to mutilator@ehnet.org
and CC ari@tiecorps.org
until he returns. I apologise for any delayed email responses
- I'm currently enduring a a period of unpleasant exams which
will keep me busy for the next few weeks.
Last weeks poll and people's general opinions, have proven Design
#1 to be the most popular template around which to rebuild
the new EHNet. Version 3.0 is currently being developed by the
IO staff and will feature a variety of new elements such as a
unified login system, currently being developed by AD Turtle based
around the system on minos.net so that users only need to remember
one handle/username. On top of this, a new SOTW function, which
Ari is currently working on, will mean that sites are rated by
a star system (from one to five stars) if nominated.
More EHNet related sites are slowly appearing online, the Banner
Exchange is now online and functioning - go and submit your
banner today! Note that if you had submitted a banner previously
before EHNet went down, you will need to resubmit it. The Webring
has also reemerged, coded by Turtle. Ari hopes to get the Greeting
Card Centre online when he returns from leave, he should have
more info on it in the next IO report. Hopefully you should see
more EH sites emerging in the near future.
News from Turtle concerning the MinosNIC service:
The MinosNIC service how has 25 web hosting accounts, and 80 URL
redirects. Several updates were made recently, including some
PHP security changes, and correction of the problem with stardestroyer.org
redirects.
Work
on the new EHNet site is progressing. I expect to have the site
up on a new server by Monday. I will also be moving over the message
boards and e-mail accounts. As such, expect both to shut down
Sunday evening for a few hours. Normal service should be restored
by Monday.
The
Internet Office will begin moving to a unified login system starting
with the release of the new EHNet web site. The "MinosNIC
handle" is now the generic "EHNet handle". Once
you have registered, your login will be good on all IO web sites
tied into the system. If you haven't already done so, please register
your handle at http://www.minos.net/.
On a similar theme, I make a small mention about the disappearance
of phpcoding.org, where I was offering webhosting for a few major
EH sites (ISD Vanguard, Infiltrator Wing, Hammers Fist, Corporate
Division) and various other smaller ones. If your site has suddenly
vanished offline and you're pining for your data, email me and
I'll return it to you (all database dumps were saved too). Sorry
for any inconvenience, the site will return soon on a different
server with a more customisable service.
The Holonet Awards and IWATS PHP course will be around once EHNet
is fixed.
