Coin, === Server Maintenance === On 2010-05-20 afternoon, due to sponsor needs, Orfeo had to move a few steps away in the same datacenter, and was halted twice during a few minutes. I was not able to warn soon enough to be useful, sorry for the inconvenience. On 2010-05-29 in the morning, while visiting a datacenter with several users, we will halt Toushirou a few minutes in order to replace/improve its memory (both because it needs more, and to test if a complete memory replacement would improve the stability, even if memtest found no problem on the current memory). === Communication === On 2010-05-19 Bitlbee was finally stopped. Minbif has replaced it nicely. In April, we experienced a lot of problems with our XMPP (Jabber) server. A few weeks ago we installed a fixed version and it proved very stable since then. The IRC upgrade is still... postponed :-/. === PHP Migration === Yesterday, we moved to 5.3, as planned earlier, and things went quite well. Please note a few things that are now obsolete and will be deactivated on 2010-09-01: - $HTTP_*_VARS - $argc / $argv - "magic quotes" So please check your code before the deadline. === Dico === Absolutely needed, we now have an open access dictionnary[1], available both on the DICT port, and via web on: http://dico.duckcorp.org/ dict/dico text clients are available on Thorfinn and Toushirou. Happy Birthday DuckCorp ! :-)) [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DICT -- Marc Dequènes (Duck)
