Hosting a Minecraft Server ( Feed the Beast )

So currently I am hosting a Minecraft server. It got 10 slots. It's pretty chill and just for building what ever you want.   The mod pack is Feed the Beast Ultimate ( latest version ).   So once you got that join us on: 198.52.234.114:25577

A few updates about myself and the projects I am in, aka Poniverse

Wow, so as you might know ( or not ), I am part of the Poniverse development team. While I have not much to tell you about how we organize things, I can tell you what I have been working on recently. ( Yes >.> I don't have that title for nothing! )   The rewrite of Equestria.TV     Know right away that this a conjoint effort by @Key Gear and me. While we both are fully able to make everything on our own we decided to rather focus on different parts so as to maximize output.

Random Updates

Meh, been some time since I last made an update so I figured why not.     So I got assigned as a Community Steward. The reason for that is my involvement in a still secret project so not much about this.   I launched CanterlotLibrary, a website I had in mind at some point. It isn't complete yet, it still got a year to stand before being pulled. It's still being developed and I plan on redesigning it at some point.   I started playing the Piano again. A friend of mine who is really good in

I was certainly not prepared for this! But don't worry about the things to come.

As you probably have guessed, this is a blog entry about the last My Little Pony Friendship is Magic episode. If you haven't seen it yet, go watch it here:   The episode started unusually, with a song from Twilight who ironically sings about the greatness of the day and how nothing is wrong. Of course, as cartoon reality tells us, we all know that there's something coming her way. And soon after we are told that the Element's destinies are being switched. Aaand, Twilight then goes on about

Chasing bugs is not that fun

So on my application, when creating a character you are able to enter a description. The problem was that it got cut off at a certain length. ( 255 characters to be exact )   I was quite puzzled about this since I haven't added anything that would truncate it. About half an hour later it hit me... the database column was a varchar with a length set to 255. A default by rails that I forgot to change. I then had to go trough the database and change anything that needed to be longer than that to

Things people should stop arguing about

#1 Free Will   It happens from time to time that I see a discussion popping up that tries to answer the question. "Do we have a free will?" Well, let me show you how you cannot possible answer the question.   You have to imagine the world as a chain of actions/consequences. It has been like that since the beginning of the universe. Now, "Free Will" makes us believe that this chain of actions/consequences originated from us. But how can you tell that you are the starting point? This would mea

Iteration, Iteration, Iteration ( Renaissance Roleplay inside )

For those unfamiliar with programming, iteration is the testing of a newly implemented feature and change it until it fits. ( That is the iterative process. )   And you are meant to do that a lot. And often. And early. So this is why I am making this blog post. On my own I will never be able to test a web application nor will I be able to tell what is fundamentally wrong with it. ( As I made it )     So here is the reason for this blog post. I am asking those that interested in shaping a we

The rise and fall of a website and why that was important and good.

So as you might know, or not know, I made a website called "Pony Roleplay" which was a website that offered MLP Themed roleplaying. It is closed for now though.   It didn't pan out as I expected it to happen and this is why, and the things that will change in the new iteration ( more about that later ):     I had no direction   Halfway trough the second iteration of the website ( which added a few new features and changed the database relations ) I had a greater ( and frankly better idea

Tips and Tricks #2: Customizing the forums even more!

So, you all know how the Homepage looks like:     And I found myself annoyed by two things: The "Subscribe" button which is actually superfluous. The Information box which rotates to partially useful things but in the end it is just a visual distraction.   To cure this problem in the easiest way possible I use AdBlock+. Obviously this sounds weird as neither are ads. But the way AdBlock+ operates is that it just makes the frames/divs of ads invisible. The same thing can be applie

Tips and Tricks #1: The Main Page

So, we all know the main page, but do you know you can customize it to an extent?   This part here for exemple:       You can click the small to go to the settings page of it.     You can also hide the sidebar if you wish to:     If you don't like a certain part, just hide it!   Or the whole thing if you want to!

Obligatory First Post Post ( Or short the OFPP )

So I signed up to this blog thing... Obviously I am not the first one, nor will I be the last one to say things similar to this.   I have made a few blogs, but often I don't write in them because why put effort into something that is meant to be shared when no-one is there to receive it? Perhaps it will be different here, perhaps people might read what I have to say. Just one person, and my post has a purpose.   I am pretty sure that if posts had a life they would love to be read. Some where
