So...about a week ago I was told by Seagate support that and I quote
"Sir, I doubt it's anything you could possibly fix yourself."
This in regards to my failed 7200.11 1.5TB ST31500341AS that was exhibiting the symptoms of a firmware BSY error.
Well, I just got my toy from China via Aussie eBay...in the states... (weird ya?) about an hour, a spare power supply, creative wiring and some help from Hyperterminal (if you don't know what that is you're too young) and I'm back in business baby!
To anyone that has a similar failure, don't let tech support at Seagate tell you that your serial number is not among the effected drives. IF your BIOS reports that the "Drive is not accepting commands" this is fixable!
Special thanks to a talented individual by the name of Gradius. Much respect!

Tired of typing /say Nurizane's Crossroads? or /macro agr /say agramon's lair?
I was, that's why I've developed QuickPortals. A simple tool to auto-load your quickbars with macros for all locations within the Labyrinth.
Check it out over in the downloads section. It only takes a second to configure. The most difficult part will be selecting your DAoC character configuration file location. If you're running Vista it's probably located here:
C:\Users\
Enjoy!

Found a couple of bugs in the latest release of the Workshop.
These were effecting the crafting quick bar setup and restore functionality.
All is well now

Loto's Character Workshop: A DAoC Character Builder 1.98.1 has just gone live. This will bring the spell lines up to date with DAoC 1.98. Check out the patch notes section for more details.

I'm currently in the process of moving the playground to a new collocation facility. The new hardware is already in place and being tested and code conversion for the site is underway. Something amusing to me is that for the past few weeks, some dolt in china has been hammering the bejesus out of my new SQL Server in an attempt to brute force a login, good luck with that buddy...
2009-03-25 23:57:52
Whew!
It's been a CRAZY few months in the land-o-real life. None the less, here is the latest installment of the Workshop. Updated for DAoC 1.97a with all the crunchy spell line changes.
I have done my best to make sure the data is accurate. However, I do not personally play every class in the game so it's impossible for me to be 100% correct. IF you find a discrepancy in the spell OR style info, let me know and I'll get it rectified.
Enjoy!

Loto's Character Workshop: A DAoC Character Builder 1.9.6 has been released. This patch updates the spell lines to match DAoC 1.96. Enchanters, Spiritmasters and Wizards have received new spells and spell tweaks. Check it out! -Loto

"Now if I could just get around using coldfusion.server.ServiceFactory for the pesky web service refresh... (CF7)"
Solved that problem too!
cfset objAdmin = createObject("component", "cfide.adminapi.administrator").login("CF Admin Password")
cfset webService = createObject("component", "cfide.adminapi.extensions")
cfset webService.reloadWebService(name = "Web Service URL", path = "Web Service Url")

Woo!
The project codenamed "cf_Hydra" is now in a rough working state thanks to a lot of time spent...uhm...how should I say, "researching", yeah that will do, researching something I discussed with a couple Adobe developers at CFUnited this year (you know who you are).
That thing we talked about that I said I wouldn't post if I found it, well, I found it, and I won't publish it. Which makes releasing my little project a bit difficult but I'm sure I'll figure something out.
Now if I could just get around using coldfusion.server.ServiceFactory for the pesky web service refresh... (CF7)
2008-08-30 22:05:12
The Workshop has been updated! (finally, I know). You'll find all of the spell line changes are in-line with DAoC 1.95. Enjoy!

So I've been suckered into playing EA's latest offering. Spore, but not the full game, just the Creature Creator, which I must say is neat and those who know me know that any time I mention EA in a positive light I vomit a little in my mouth. Why the hate? two words, DOWNLOAD MANAGER. I mean WTF is this piece of crap? Whatever happened to downloading a file from a website, yeah sure there's the "anyone can download it if they have the link" issue but come on, is it really that difficult for you weenies to implement a less invasive file delivery system?
Why the hell should I have to download and install something so that I can download and install something else? And why the hell is that while it's downloading that something and stalls, so do all of my other network connects hmmmm? Oh yeah and let's not tell them that it can cause stability issues while playing the thing that it allows you to download too!
JFGDCWTF!!

Google is full of nifty things, how nifty you ask? Well, their new experimental search feature that filters as you type your search phrase is pretty damn cool (along with result counts)! Now if I'm having a blank moment I can just start typing gibberish and have suggestions made to me. Like this little gem I stumbled across just now.

yes, it's real and quite an interesting read.

Well, the world now has one more Certified ColdFusion Developer, woo! glad that's over with now I can focus on other pet projects. Speaking of projects, I'm in the middle of setting up a web server in order to migrate this site (and all my other sites) to CF. How will this impact you the user? not much at all, except for the short downtime (which will be announced before it happens) which will cause the Character Workshop's auto patcher not to check for updates, you shouldn't experience any erratic program behavior. That's all for now! >po0f<
2008-03-06 19:39:12
New forums are up! Login and check 'em out! :)
2008-03-06 17:10:06
You may have noticed that the forums are currently disabled, do not fret! they are being upgraded and in order to ensure message integrity between versions I needed to disable them. In approximately 8 hours from now the new sub domain for the forum will have propagated and you should be able to access them normally.
Thanks for your patience :)

2008-02-28 22:26:50
Just a quick status update, i'm currently working on the updates to the Workshop for DAoC 1.92. I had planned to have this out for the patch yesterday but...yah...what a p.i.t.a , thanks mythic! :)
Anyhow, with any luck you all should be getting a Workshop auto patch wee early in the morning!
2008-02-20 16:39:15

I decided to screw around with Google ads and it seems their ad delivery engine has some ideas strange ideas about this site's content...
...this could get interesting.2008-02-18 11:17:40
Been a little quite around here lately, I've been trying to get more game time recently and failing miserably. Updates are coming along for the new style changes that are to be released with DAoC 1.92. Even if you don't hear anything from me, you can rest assured that the Workshop will be kept up to date for the foreseeable future. Thank you all who have donated recently!

Have i gone insane? ...don't answer that.
My new experiment is completed, so let the chaos (and cheap entertainment) begin! I have released for your enjoyment, a new site feature which allows spam bots to freely hit a form and do their dirty work, totally unobstructed (almost). I will collect their incoherent blasts of absurdity and spit them out to you the viewer randomly one at a time as the
RANDOM SPAM OF THE DAY! WOOOOO!
I will caution you all this once, I am not responsible for what gets transmitted to your squishy orbs of light catching goodness (eyes). IF you are offended easily, go away! If you are worried about "work safe content" ...view this at home. If however you want a good laugh, or would like to try and break my new toy, PLEASE continue on to The SPAM Box! and give us your nuggets of chunky internet goo.

Nothing really noteworthy has happened since the last posting (i know, i'm bad...) But i had a fun idea today at work while looking through some database logs. Here in the next couple of days I'll have a new toy for you to amuse yourselves with!

Todays entertainment...
apparently I'm kinda nerdy...and my girlfriend...
now it doesn't stop there. there's quite possibly nothing worse than a bored nerd with a fixation. so here's what happens when you sit and analyze the survey and divide the questions into their respective groups and determine how each one is weighted in order to produce the maximum result!...UBER-DORKY NERD GOD!
