Thanks Herv=C3=A9.. and yet, I have already edited up to mid flaurmont (april) for 1019. Il sha= ll have that month done at the end of the day. Then i'll put myself into making the other almanachs, starting with 1018 an= d going backward in time. The thing is that, I can re-initialize each blog every year, and then make = it publish the same news daily one more time (once all the events are in th= e database it's no big deal really). As for the AC 1020 blog project, this could just be one (of many) collabora= tive way to work. But i don't want to force anyone into it... my other big project is to set a wiki to concentrate all the articles. yet,= if Shawn feels it's better to stick to the present pandius website, i don'= t have a problem with that (and it will also save me some time). Anyway, i = wanted to learn about setting up a wiki, and this was a very good opportuni= ty. I'll have some time off (the whole month of february in fact). So i'll see = what i can do, and how I can do it.

Anyway, i wanted to learn about setting up a wiki, and this was a very good opportunity. If anybody wanted to help with setting up a wiki on the Vaults then I'm more than happy enough for that. And by "help" I mean basically do all the work, because I don't have the knowledge how to do it myself and don't feel that I have the time to do so at the moment. If this were to happen I still wouldn't necessarily see it as something which would supercede the way that the Vaults is already working, unless of course it become such a more popular way to work and nobody used the traditional html pages. ******************************************************************** The Other Worlds Homepage: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/OtherWorlds.asp The Mystara Homepage: http://www.pandius.com To unsubscribe, send email to LISTSERV@ORACLE.WIZARDS.COM with UNSUB MYSTARA-L in the body of the message. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Jan 2007 12:36:11 +0100 From: Giampaolo Agosta Subject: Re: The Mystara Almanach in a Blog !!

So I ended up putting a wiki on my site to test it out: http://heroesonly.com/wiki/ I haven't linked to it from my main site because I was really just testing it out, planned on using it temporarily for character sheets, etc. But if anyone wants to play around with it, they're more than welcome to try it out. It's a dokuwiki, and it's really easy to move around (to another site). If people start putting serious stuff on it, maybe I can just copy it over to Pandius... ******************************************************************** The Other Worlds Homepage: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/OtherWorlds.asp The Mystara Homepage: http://www.pandius.com To unsubscribe, send email to LISTSERV@ORACLE.WIZARDS.COM with UNSUB MYSTARA-L in the body of the message. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Jan 2007 11:45:02 -0500 From: Angelo Bertolli Subject: What to do with mystara.us On another note about web sites: I've owned mystara.us for a while and I'm basically just using it to host a Mystara MUD (which I have advertised on MUD sites for Mystara builders--along with soliciting help here a long time ago).

I'll see w= hat I can do about these 2 previous almanach issues. I mean, i am willing t= o set a blog for each almanach issue. I have no problem with that, and in f= act it can be made in no more than a day (one blog for issues 1014 to 1018 = , plus one for the upcoming 1020... But then, i really need to be able to d= ivide the "copy/paste" work with other members. I just cannot do that on my= own.

I'd say tha= t publishing a previously pasted entry in Ultra-edit (to get rid of the Wor= d parasite code) and then pasting it correctly in wordpress takes about 1 o= r 2 minutes. Plus there is a big catch. Since the posts are only realeased = on a daily basis on the RSS feed, we just need a lot of contributors for th= e first weeks for each year (Nuwmont and Vatermont). For the rest of the ye= ar, any contributor can just take 5 minutes to proactively edit 5 entries a= day...and that would be enough to remain ahead of the real time chronology= ..(i am not sure i am making much sense here...) Allow me to clarify: Today= in the real world is january the 28th 2007. On the www.mystara.fr/almanach= / blog it is automatically converted to Nuwmont the 28th AC 1019 (that is t= he last day of the month). So let's imagine that you want to help, and that= you want to take care of some days for the Mystara month of Thaumont (Marc= h) or Flaurmont (April). As for many blogs, the post are visible only when = their post date (called timestamp in wordpress) is at least present or past= . Let me give you an exemple: If i edit and set some posts dated February t= he 2nd (<=3D> Vatermont the 2nd), they won't be visible until February the = 2nd at 00h00 am. That is why it is important for me to know soon if i can c= ount on you guys. The year is still young, and if we invest our time now, i= t will require less work for everyone since the work load will be spread up= on the whole duration of the real world year (yet nothing prevent us from d= oing the whole year in a month or two). It is at the same time a blessing f= or us (because it allows us to spread the amount of work all year long) and= a bummer because days entries only appears one day at a time and many myst= ara fan can find this to be two slow a pace for them. Of course, i'll put a= link with the whole almanach to download for the impatients...but in a way= this removes all the fun of receiving only tidbits of informations every d= ay.

I prom= ise you, with the help of 8 contributors giving each only 15 to 30 minutes = of their time each month, we'll do great things together... So Who's in? I = am also studying different types of wiki programs (Bitweaver is so far the = one i am inclined to use) to generate a general data base for Mystara other= related files (other than the Mystara events that is).

I've been running my own server for hosting et. al. for at least a year now, so I'm confident that there will be no problems. There are a few friends who have set up websites before there, but mostly I'm the only one using it. I've come to depend on having a server, and I don't foresee myself ever not having it. * I do make backups, but people should try to also have their own local copy. * The quotas are currently set to around 150 MB as a starting point for security purposes. It can be increased with need. * All account access is ssh-based: shell account via ssh, FTP is done over SSH (FTP over SSH2 in Filezilla). * Access from other countries in Asia for example has been spotty once in a while. But if you can get to heroesonly.com, then it shouldn't be a problem. * Even though I try to put up as many security barriers as possible, I do have to have a certain level of trust for users who have accounts. Anyone who gets an account will be expected to behave appropriately, not try to hack the system, etc. Other than that, the only other consideration I can think of is bandwidth. The network connection is just a typical home-user high speed connection, and the download speeds from the server will be at most about 50KB per second. You can test it by trying to download this: http://heroesonly.com/pdf/dwarves.pdf Suffice it to say, it should be fine for sites consisting mostly of web content. > I am looking for a new home for my Blackmoor site.

I don't mind if you want to just keep it as a mirror site anyway. As long as the bandwidth isn't too huge, I won't notice. Any feedback on problems that you have would be appreciated.

Kraken's Cove, where the main action of the adventure takes place, is 60 miles from Sasserine, well inside the hex of swampland I've picked. The two minor alterations deal with the Wormfall Festival and the being worshipped by the bullywug tribe. The former, a reference to the previous two Dungeon Adventure Paths (the heroes of Cauldron are implicitly the PCs of "Shackled City", the events referenced are the climax of "Age of Worms") probably should be replaced by a festival celebrating the end of piratical domination over Sasserine. Bua Gorg, the shaman of the bullywug tribe, is a cleric of Dagon. Dagon might be an alias of one of the Entropic Immortals, a hitherto unrevealed Entropic being, an imaginary entity, the monster ruler of bullywugs, or (really scary thought) an Outer Being. (Guess which way I'd go? It ties in well with Dagon's write-up elsewhere.) It probably won't have any impact on the adventures to follow, but you never know ... C(hristopher) Richard Davies.

It's not. -- from "King Kong" (2005) ____________________________________________________________________________________ Get your own web address. Have a HUGE year through Yahoo!
