Well i havent posted since June last year, because i basically have very little free time these days.... To be honest, it's been that way for about the last 10 years, now. Anyway - onto matters of state; Gateworld's hardware has been majorly beefed up over the past 2-3 months, and including some major software upgrades carried out over the last few weeks, we are now ready to embrace Season 5

Well just a quick one! I went to see Evermore live on Sunday night - they were awesome (as always). A friend had a camera there so i hopefully will get some photos up in the next few days. On the server front, Gateworld now sits on a nice new Dell 2950, with 2 Dual Core 5130 Xeons, 4GB of RAM and SAS SCSI drives. Hopefully this will last us a good few years. :)

Well, it's clearly been a long time since i've posted anything.... Since August last year alot has happened in the "Gateworld", aswell as in my life. Since late March i have moved jobs, while in the same company, doing Windows Server Engineering - providing Technical Support for Iluka Resources (www.iluka.com), which has taken 99% of my free time up. I'm now driving a brand new Toyota Yaris YRX

vBulletin 3.6 is coming soon to Gateworld. To see whats included, here's a (rather longwinded, technical) look at the new features http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=186803

Night shift time for me at work atm, but that hasnt stopped me from doing stuff during the days. Have spent today rebuilding my PC, after it took a swan dive and stopped working. I've taken the switch from my old Intel P4 2.8Ghz system to a new AMD Athlon 64 3500+ which, i have not as of yet really been able to play around with! I've also ordered this massive heatsink that is supposed to be able

Well, I have finally finished the Gateworld server migrations! With my limited spare time over the past few weeks due to work, i've finally got the new server setup humming along nicely. We are still ironing out a few issues with regards to backend stuff, but everything is now in place. My estimations of the new servers is that they would be able to hold 2000-3000 users online on the forums at

New hardware for the Gateworld site & Forums is currently being built. Expect to see some changes happen in the next few days as we roll accross to the new infrastructure.

Well, its almost bed time on Sunday after another jam packed weekend.... Spent 80% of the weekend making major coding enhancements/upgrades to the OktaGone website. Mostly backend stuff that most of you probably will never see, but alot of it is to automate/allow for an automated payment system, for our upcoming new server platform, plus to finish off the site which i started working on in

Well i havent really updated my blog with any "bloggish" stuff recently, so i thought i'd go al out and update you on everything thats going on at the moment. I now am the owner of a 32" Philips HD LCD Television, complete with HDMI! Its an awesome TV, and combined with my Altec Lansing 500W RMS speaker system, it makes for a totally awesome home theatre experience, not to mention, its fun to

I have just had the priviledge of viewing SG1's latest episode entitled "Arthur's Mantle", and even though it was really a re-do of an old tale, it worked very well. It was finally good to see some good interaction between Sam and Mitchell - with Sam reluctant (and upset) to see him go off world while in the other dimension. It was a great ep, with ramifications that go way into Season 10 of SG1

Have done a few small updates tonight on the server that hosts the forums. We're now uptodate with PHP - 5.1.2 is now live on the server, hopefully providing us with more stability (not that we havent been running great over the last few months!) More updates soon...

As an epic World of Warcraft fan, i have been excited at the news of the Stargate Worlds MMO, however, at the same time, i am feeling a deep hurt inside for the (now, unemployed) team at Perception Studios in Sydney. Late November, last year i managed to score a video interview with two of the guys at Perception Studios for Gateworld, however the interview remains unpublished as of yet, due to

Well it's Friday, beer oclock time and its time to go and hang out with the mates. Off to the beautiful upper swan tonight for a BBQ. In about 18 hours time, those lucky people in the USofA will be treated to a new episode of Battlestar Galactica, Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. Reading the spoilers on Gateworld regarding "Off the Grid" for SG1, and Sacrifice of BSG i am very interested in

Hello Gateworld Readers, and welcome to my Blog. This is my 3rd attempt at making/having a blog that lasts more than a couple of days worth of posts, however this time, the blog is powered by Gateworld so the effort is definatelly worth putting in. For those of you who have never been to the Gateworld Forums i am the resident tech guru who usually gets the full scale torture, jaffa style, when
