PHPBB Upgraded |
|
posted by parker at
8:01 pm on Tuesday, December 19 |
|
To avoid being hacked by the Russians due to an old installation of PHPBB, I have upgraded our forum. I am still working on restoring the logo and restoring the links from the "home page" (teampenthouse.com) on the top right to actually show the latest topics. That said, the forum should be 95% working now. If you are getting the default blue and silver theme and want something red, I have installed a style called "Revolution" that seems pretty good. You should be able to choose it in the user control panel. Our old style does not work with the new PHPBB. |

I am upgrading our PHPBB right now. Might cause problems momentarily. If we do not see each other again, fall back to the Facebook group! |

PHP5 Update |
|

So, I just updated this hosting account to PHP5. I'm not sure what the repercussions will be. BTW, this is after the "site down?" thing that Mike and I were seeing tonight. But let me know if you see any weird script errors or anything. |

And back again |

Didn't notice we were gone? You're welcome. The database is migrated to the new MySQL5 instance, and everything should continue to run smoothly. Let me know if you see any weirdness. |

Possible downtime |

Our web host is deactivating MySQL 4 and moving to MySQL 5 in the next week or so. I have to migrate the data over, and there may be an outage either while I'm migrating it, or if I don't get it migrated before MySQL 4 gets shut off. Just a heads-up. |

In case leaving that last post at the top was confusing, the forums were up about an hour after they went down. So now they're up. |

I'm upgrading to the newest PHPBB (just bug fixes and security patches), so it may be down for a few minutes. Talk amongst yourselves. I'll give you a topic. The Eagles of Death Metal are neither eagles nor a death metal band. Discuss. |

Yeah, I'm not sure what's going on. Hopefully some kind of database blip. I'll look into it if it keeps up very long. |

GAH! THE FORUMS! |
|
posted by parker at
3:36 am on Thursday, October 1 |
The aforementioned transition to PHPBB3 is now (sort of) complete. There are still a few things I need to fix:
1. Avatars seem to be getting scrunched to 80px even though I changed the limit to 200px.
2. RSS might not work right now.
3. Need to replace the generic logo at the top with a TPH logo.
4. The nav bar of recent posts on the right side of this page probably won't update correctly.
Sorry if this causes anybody headaches. I should have most of these fixed in the next couple of days. |

Happy Third Birthday, teampenthouse.com! |
|
posted by parker at
3:27 am on Thursday, August 23 |
Can you believe Thursday is the third anniversary of the beginning of this site? (Check the oldest post at the bottom of this page.) No ice cream cones to celebrate this time. I have made some updates, which is more than I can say about the past year or so.
1.) Updated the left-side links to point to you guys' new web addresses.
2.) Upgraded to the latest phpBB, so that hopefully our site won't get h4x0R'd as much. (Actually, this has happened, believe it or not.)
3.) Some small changes to the code that allows updates to this page.
4.) Removed the link to ebaumsworld. Duh.
So all in all, you won't notice much. I do have plans to do more work soon, though. Maybe a new look, maybe an RSS feed, maybe some new TPH Museum items. We'll see. Let me know your requests in the TPH.com Feature Request thread. |

OK, so here's what you have to do. If you haven't logged in to the forum, just use the link that says "go to the forum." Then log in and you should be able to have all kinds of forum fun. After you log in, you can use the direct links on the front page. |

Check out my online music service comparison here. I spent a lot more time on it than I thought I would. It compares Napster, RealRhapsody, and Yahoo! Music Unlimited. I'm planning on reviewing iTunes and Cdigix when I get around to them. Feel free to read it, pass it around, send it to a publisher (give me credit, though). I think it's kinda awesome. |

Here at teampenthouse.com, we care about bandwidth conservation. That's why I've just added a new feature. If you scroll to the bottom of the page, you'll notice that only the ten most recent posts are shown, saving you a healthy 2K or so each time you come to this page. (Actually, it just seemed like the thing to do... ebaums and somethingawful do it.) If you want to read my old ramblings, you can click the link at the bottom of the page. |

I just put a bunch of pictures of my building-new-computer process online. I'm not sure what they're useful for, but they're at http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~jfath/newmb/page1.html.
Eventually, I'll add some text to them. I'm trying to make it helpful for someone who has the same problems I had installing the heat sink.
Again, you guys probably don't care, but it could be a time killer if you're bored.

Dead Week Gaming Ladder |

posted by evan at

Here it is again, the highly anticipated semi-annual Team Penthouse Dead Week Ladder. For those of you who were not here for last semester's glorious battle, the rules are as follows:
- Any non-academic competitive activity applies
- Only events involving two or more Team Penthouse members will count
- Half-Life 2 is the greatest game ever made
|
It's important to remember that the sole purpose of this friendly competition is to keep you from studying for your finals during dead week. |
|

Another Update. Yes, it's for real. |

Apologies for the downtime between 1:24 and 1:37 AM this Thursday morning. We took care of several critical database server updates. I'd like to thank my entire crew, especially Max and Carl, for helping to make this transition as smooth as possible.
On a side note, for all you IRC-savvy users, I would like to point out that the TPH chat room linked in the upper right --> is located on EFnet (irc.efnet.net) at #tpchat.
That's all I've got for now, but be sure to watch for some spectacular updates when Monday rolls around.

<---- over there. Use the same username and password that you used for the forum. Then you can click "chat!" If you haven't set up a username and password yet, do it at the forum over there ---->
2.) Other people's web sites. They're listed

Thanks to Dan for helping me find this bug:
Don't try to post a new topic unless you're already logged in, or it will send you back here. Again, I will fix these problems eventually, but for now, you gotta do it jankified-style.
Also, there will be an update today, so don't worry.

apologies for the jankiness |
|
posted by parker at
6:07 pm on Monday, August 23 |
This site is still way early in development, like version 0.0.1. So there are a few things janky about it. For instance, sometimes when you're in phpbb, it will come back to this page, like when you log in. Just click on the link to the right ---->
and you'll go back to phpbb. This will be fixed eventually.
Also, if you want to keep up on what our plans are for the site, don't just check on Mondays. Check on, like, Wednesday, or maybe Friday. |

So you all found your respective ways here. Good deal. This site will be awesome in the two following ways:
1.) It has a forum. You can go to it by using the link on the right. See it over there? --->
Go to it and register so you can be awesome like me and Evan.
2.) It will eventually link to all of your pages as well. And it will do so much more. You will be able to post here, like I just did, and tell us all when you add stuff like duty schedules to your web sites. And there will be links to your sites on the left side by my link and Evan's link.
So look forward to that stuff. As this page says, it will be updated on Mondays. Same as Homestar Runner.
Here's what you all can send me or Evan:
1.) Suggestions and ideas for the site.
2.) A link to your web site.
3.) Phone numbers of hot girls you meet.
So that's all for now. Make sure you set a bookmark.
