Please don't connect directly to the IP, as it's bound to change soonâ,,¢, use irc.dasjoe.de for now.

Whatever happened to that AGA guy? He was such a noob.

Please don't use scripts which automatically reply to people, especially when they reply to Roger.

Case should be resolved by now, in case you want to discuss this issue please message me directly either on IRC or here.

Please message me directly when there's something wrong with the wiki, either here or on IRC.
I'll check out the search.

kkthxbye

Edit: Fixed the search database.

Like the topic said for weeks, I'm moving the box to a new host.

WMA is a stupid format altogether, yes.
Archive your stuff with some nice lossless codec.
The lossless codec of my choice is flac, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Lossless_Audio_Codec

Use it together with EAC, http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/ and follow the guides on hydrogen audio, for example http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=EAC_and_FLAC

Should one go and archive all the stuff in "lossless" quality but copy the "standard" stuff to a player?

That's what I do, I store my CDs as flac on a fileserver, then I rip the CDs (or convert the flacs) to mp3 with lame, using -v 0 --vbr new.

I do my mp3 tagging with musicbrainz, other useful tools are: mp3val, mp3gain, id3remover, mp3packer, AlbumArtDownloader.

Set the SATA controller to Compatibility instead of AHCI mode.
Try plugging the disk into a working PC?

Not into MPEG, but into AVI or Matroska containers, http://alexander-noe.com/video/amg/

What about Knockout and other such software?

How about putting all these points in some our wiki?

We've built the AGS wiki nearly three years ago, it's not used as much as it could (or should) be used and this thread's content would fit perfectly in there

Wikis are all about collaborating on stuff like this, maybe somebody is willing to write an article for these tips so everybody can directly add to them then.

See http://www.americangirlscouts.org/agswiki/ for the wiki, and as one rule on Wikipedia says: be bold!

Please try connecting directly to americangirlscouts.org.

Code: ags

/server americangirlscouts.org

The browser I change to someday, won't steal focus from address bar if page suddenly becomes fully loaded.

Press Escape before starting to type.

www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk redirects to www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk, at least my config files tell me this.

The official feed would be http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/gamesrss.php
Please remove www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk from your bookmarks/subscriptions as I'll likely disable it soonâ,,¢.

Check whether their computer tries to use own DNS servers, set DNS to automatic.
If that doesn't work try the OpenDNS ones, check http://www.opendns.com/ on how to do that.

There's a thread in the technical forum, http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=30021.0

That's odd, because the DNS server for the domain is still the same as it always has been, so it wouldn't make any sense if "www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk" wasn't resolving but "www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk" was, since they're on the same DNS server.

Both couldn't resolve last night, so it could've been some DNS bug in my routers. It's fine now

Odd, all the page loads including the index are pretty much instant for me now. Is anyone else finding it slow?

I've pinged the IP a bit, usually it's around 150 ms but some packets (1 in 10 maybe) just drop or are delayed to 400+ ms. My ISP probably doesn't like America

Oh, also this just happened:

Page created in 2.02 seconds with 14 queries.

What is it with me finding problems no one else has?

I've used it from three different connections now, the forums refuse to resolve from time to time.
I tried various computers and DNS servers, so the slowdown shouldn't be on my end.

Also, some pages load quite slowly (especially the category indexes). You may want to adjust your accelerator's settings a bit.

Apart from that it's fine. Slow but working, most of the time.

This doesn't surprise me at all, Disco, not at all
