That’s right – our Left 4 Dead servers ready to be advertised!

After several weeks of having them all up publicly as a gauge for their use we’ve decided they’re definitely a keeper. We even play in them ourselves every now and then.

We are currently running two servers. If you want to use them, join the WikiForAll group on Steam and join a community group server in-game. You’ll see the two Left 4 Dead servers available for you to join.

For support, or if you want to ask something about the servers, to report abuse, or just to chat, you can head on over to the forums.

Hi everyone!

While James is heading down South to go to Melbourne, I’m not. So what that means is that I have a fortnight to get awesome at TF2, play with the wiki, and generally just live.

One of the biggest things you’ll see over this weekend is a new Wordpress theme for this blog. We’re a bit sick of the discontinuity shown in the styles we have lying around, so we’re going to install a new theme which follows a bit closer to the WikiForAll styles.

I’ll also be updating core software that runs the site and writing in some new behaviour for the front page of WikiForAll. If all goes well, you won’t know anything’s different.

All that means if things look different or act differently I’m in the middle of making changes and it’ll be fixed within 24-48 hours.

James will not be away from internet down in Melbourne (he’d die) so he’ll also be updating the site semi-regularly over the next fortnight. With any luck that means I don’t have to make stuff up

Well, my bags are all packed, my boarding pass is printed, my santa hat is in its holster, and i’m ready to fly out to melbourne tomorrow afternoon. I’ll be landing at 4pm, and will be staying a fortnight. Theres not going to be any (well, much) tf2 down there, so instead of my schedule looking like this:

It will look something more like this:

Which, for those unaware, means I will probably be doing a lot more on the website while in a foreign city. Ironic, I know, but TF2 is srs business.

In other news, i’ve made 66% on the stock market so far this year, so with some work and some luck, i’m hoping to have made 150% by the end of the year. It sounds like a big number, but once you realise you’re compounding from 166% rather than 100% , its actually less than I made in the first half of the year. I got lucky once or twice during the first half of the year.

I’ve also started learning C++ in a NOT-HALF-ASSED sort of way, I did a whole bunch of cleaning up on the wiki, and i’m toying with the idea of hooking up with an artist and starting a story comic ala www.erfworld.com, but I want an idea first before I get anybody TOO excited.

See you on tha flipside brudda!
