Here is some drop down menu example. feel free to play around with it.

Yo! I’ve met daeshim on irc.dynashell.org, talked to him for a while and asked him if he would like to join irc.devnode.net. He was much into it and he gave me their services databases to merge them with ours. So people woulnd’t have to register. But somehow we didnt even link up and daeshim just disappeared. I just know i have his databases merged with devnodes and hope he’ll come back some day..

One of our servers had a downtime due to maintenance two days ago.
We had a downtime window of about 1hour.
The dns server for irc.devnode.net was completly offline for at least 30minutes. That for Ttech temporary added irc.devnode.org to the apollo hubserver to garuantee a working irc subdomain.
Now everything should be back up and working. Enjoy

Well, its some days ago now but i hope you guys had a great start into 2009.

Since I got a bit more into PHP, I decided to write a couple of scripts that could lead to a great website for devnode.net later. Then I can still move this blog to blog.devnode.net or something.
First of all I will start with a auth-system / login script.
I’m aiming at some usefull login script that can be used for example:
Give the login script access to the services database but readonly.
IRC nicknames / passwords / channelaccess etc can later be used to get services.devnode.net online the way I ever wanted. Like for people that like an userinterface for the IRC services such like ChanServ/NickServ/MemoServ.
Users and passwords will be stored in a MySQL database. Passwords will become md5 decryped. Maybe I’ll even write a tutorial for beginners in a few days/weeks or whatever.
But first of all I’m going to test it on my own until it will be available for public use. ^^
More soon.

powertech.de.devnode.net will go down within the next few days. It should be dead at 30th Oct 2008. Thanks to F6F who helped building up the network again and sponsored this server for a couple of months.
When powertech is going down it will not affect any connections to the IRC server, the dns entry has already been removed so it can safly delink/squit/die.

We added irc.us.* and irc.eu.* to group up all unitedstates servers and european servers so people can also connect to irc.us.devnode.net if they are connecting from the us to prevent lags and to enhance the stability of irc.devnode.net.

I’m currently also working on the subdomain devirc.devnode.net. In 2004 I started to code more and more for DevIRC. Mostly by myself but there is also alot code made by old members. Because there have never ever been a release date or anything i decided to just make a page from the old design and upload it so 3rd people can download it. Of course people will be welcome to edit stuff and develop DevIRC further if they would like to. It’s actually a beta version with some known bugs right now.
Right now I think I am not going to develop it futher by myself because its only a mIRC addon, it’s wrote in mIRC’s scripting language and isn’t that stable. (Crashes while autoupdating etc.)
But we’ll see what the time brings us.
Soon there will be the last source code from [DevIRC(0.4-rc1)] available on http://devirc.devnode.net in the download area.

I decided to write a new nopaste script since the old website/databases were lost within a backup about a year ago. It’s still pretty beta but i think i won’t add any pictures like for buttons etc. It’s actually only written in html,php and css. I hope people will like & use it. Right now there are only the simple features available like make posts and view posts made by others in the “View posts” area. Currently people cant protect the posts so everything is open to the web. There will be a password protected function soon. The passwords will be stored as md5hashes in the database to prevent any pieking.
The nopaste system beta can be used at http://nopaste.devnode.net
TODO List:

• Add “Most viewed posts”
• Add buttons for switching between all posts not just the first 30 .;)
• Add more Impressum information
• Add Disclaimer – (as long as there is no disclaimer follow to the rules listed in the IRC /motd [message of the day] and /rules file.)
• Add a captcha like antibot2.0.1 to prevent spammers from using the nopaste system.
• Add an Adminarea / login to manage the posts easiely
• Add another form or “Change”-button and load the code if people like to change/help/correct others
• Add Syntax Highlighting
