Ouch.

My (Internet) connection just dropped for the most part. While I may have been using a lot of bandwidth over the past month (23GB down, 17GB up in October, including only days after I installed dd-wrt; 12GB down, 8GB up so far this month), I have no caps. Also, the sudden drop, yet still-kind-of-connected-ness as shown here while pinging Google:

Leads me to one conclusion: weather. O-G is in Ohio, and when the weather gets crappy, it gets crappy.

Well, you'll know when we're back up. In the meantime, guess I can't work on my Common App...

e: Yep, things are going in and out. Had it for a few minutes. Saw BTGII come online, now things are going right back down the hole.

Welcome to LangeNET
November 10, 2008 (3:31pm EST) Posted by klange
As you may know, the server on which Oasis-Games.com is hosted does a lot more than run Oasis-Games.com - it also manages my personal email, does an assortment of O-G related sites, runs a few non-OG sites (just added one today, actually) and provides hosting for our team's personal projects. With that in mind, we've made the decision of changing our all-purpose name to reflect something more professional. Being my server - and for the most part, my domains (with a few exceptions that I'm working on) the new service has been named for myself. We are now "LangeNET" - the name my router has been going by for a while now - and while I don't plan on buying any fancy domains to support this name, you will see it on 404, 500, and the complete "server is down" pages in the form of a few limited logos (basically just some fancy text) and other references.

This really means nothing to you, but I felt I should announce it anyway.
Bye!

Just posting to get a new post at the top.
I randomly decided to install Fedora 10 (preview) on my extra partition today.
GL is slow, but unlike Ubuntu right-this-minute, Fedora isn't screeching to a halt after an hour of use.
Have yet to do anything fancy, just set it up with the same theme I use elsewhere and messed with font configurations.

Anyway, Entropy... Yeah... We'll get to it. Eventually. Let's just leave it with "we'll take considerably less time than Duke Nukem Forever did".

Barack Obama wins!

Moments ago, it was announced by a depressed Fox news, a happy CNN, and many other news channels that Barack Obama has made history by being the first African American to become the next President of the United States of America!

We are hiring!
November 2, 2008 (2:08pm EST) Posted by Jarocks
As part of our ongoing attempts to actually build up a sound staff team here, I thought it would be appropriate to announce that we still require a great deal of staff here at Oasis-Games so without further delay I present the OG Staff Search. Cue applause.

Available Staff Positions:
Coding Team (3)
Individuals applying this should have a sound foundation in a few major coding languages.

3d Modeling Team (2)
Looking for people who have a strong background with 3d modeling software (3dsmax, blender, gmax, etc) and feel that they are fairly good at modeling and/or texturing/uvwmapping.

Art Team (6)
This would involve primarily concept art, and requires individuals who can draw in detail which would be beneficial to our modelers. In laymen terms if you're a good doodler/sketcher/artist, this is the place to apply. This also includes computer made art not graphic design.

Graphic Design (4)

Community Forums Staff (9)
-Global Moderators (4)
-Advertising Staff (3)
-Admin (2)

How to Apply
PM me or one of the other Admin or reply to this thread with an application or resume, it's that easy.
-Please Submit A relevant sample or credentials or your application will not be able to be processed.

Submit Applications here.
