Ok the last flat-file run script on my site has been converted to mySQL.   It’s like a religion… everything must be converted!

Basically the site should load faster, according to what people tell me.   It is more notable when there are more people on at once, where it might actually cause the site to slow down.

Fort Wars being one of my more popular creations of course deserved a specially designed section, rather than something I could throw together in a few minutes.   The theme took me a bit to come up with - I wasn’t sure what I was going for really, but I think I like how it is now.

Anyways here it is.   Fort Wars

Everything should be fine - do let me know if you find any problems though.

        Pfffffffffff…. I’m pissed.   Everything seemed to be going along nicely until just yesterday.   I had gotten so used to my right hand out of the cast, that somehow, when leaning back and getting up, I completely forgot about it being in recovery, and put my hand out, again, to support myself.   Needless to say, my right hand did not support me at all.   The second I put my weight onto my hand, my entire arm went numb and  hurt like hell.   The sharp, numbing pain I felt when I first broke my wrist shot right through my arm, most of it focused where the break in my wrist was.

        At first it was just my wrist feeling all paralyzed, but it later spread to my elbow as well.   Apparently my right arm had gotten so weak from being in a cast for 2-3 months (and no pressuring work after) that I ended up twisting my elbow and spraining it.

        The doctor says it didn’t look like I broke anything, but I’m in a sling yet again, to avoid moving any of the joints… I forget how much it sucks being one-handed.   >_<

Distance Formula  

        I had a I got sick of doing the distance formula over and over again on my math homework today.    Each problem took nearly 5 minutes to go through and find the distance between each point.   I decided why not make a script that simply does it for you. Instead of punching in formulas again and again into your calculator, all you have to do is type in the points you want. The entire script took less than 5 minutes to write.

Check it out - I call it the Distance Formula Tool (duh).   Nothing fancy, but very helpful nonetheless.

Midpoint Formula

        Not long after I breezed through the distance formula problems on my math homework, I ran into midpoint formula problems.   A small tweak with the Distance Formula Tool  and what do you know - I finished the Midpoint Formula Tool!

         Lately, there have been a number of people, including me, that have had problems joining a table once in a room at  Yahoo Games.    Basically, you join the room just fine.   It says connected and everything.   But the problem comes when you try to join a table or create one.   It displays a message that the table is “attempting to pop up” but never does.   The table simply won’t pop up.

       Have you disabled your pop up blocker? Please try that  first to see if that is the problem.   If it is, set it to allow from games.yahoo.com and you should be able to re-enable your pop up blocker again.

      However, that is what I did the first time as well - and it didn’t work for me.

        The next step is to check your Norton Internet Security if you have one.   Even if you disabled the pop up blocker on that, it’ll block the table in the Ad blocker.   Yep, it thinks the Yahoo Games table is an ad.   Go to Norton Antispam.   Then go into the settings for your Pop Up blocker.   To fix this, go to Advanced and remove urls that have “yahoo” in them.   Hope that helps!

        That seemed to be the problem for alot of people.
