JANUARY

Welcome to the new year, everyone!

CHARACTER PROCESSING

I am working on some things, mainly to improve the maintenance of the bans list. Might be back with updates about that later today.

CHARACTER DATA

  • Master Compilations 1 for Clans
1: A master compilation takes the information from the "General Compilations" (listings of data formed using the {{Charinfo}} template's information) and alters the raw data into percentages that are more useful for working out the bans lists.

TEMPLATES

  • {{Charinfo}}
    • A visual display has been added to aid players in making sure things are accurate. Particularly where young cats are concerned for which generic data may have been applied and is incorrect.

The bans update will be my other major update today. But that will rate it's own thread so that I can record the various changes.

Posting this now at 11:30 am because I did Al and Zeph last night/this AM. I do plan to run through the last three a bit later, but we shall see.

FEBURARY

CHARACTER PROCESSING

The moon change stuff will have priority, but due to work and school. I doubt I'll have time to manage that prior to then. In the mean time, I do have part of the weather done and you may RP in the new Moon.

CHARACTER PROCESSING

DEPARTMENTS

  • Applications
    • Processed the Ravenblink adoption for ShadowClan. Congrats Web!

There should be other stuff later. Maybe. I hope. Apologies for the character processing lag.

Player Relations

  • Identified as Idle Template Adjustments
    • The manual adjustments required to make the idle template read the number of months idle have been made. To every idle account. Also assigned the accounts who needed it to be immune to deletion. Idle accounts are now ready for deletions to start happening.
  • Leave of Absence Management
    • End of LOA enforced for Heather (Listed End date 19 Dec 09)
  • Upcoming for Player relations
    • New round of idle IDs
    • First rounds of deleted idle accounts.

PLAYER RELATIONS

Kitsu has class today, and a D&D adventure to write. She might get to more of her administrative duties later, but they may have to wait until later in the weekend.

I'm mainly just handling administrative type stuffs and things that I feel are overdue or for me, since I'm technically still away due to my wrist. ;) Think of today as Kitsu test-driving the condition it's in and getting some stuff done.

DEPARTMENTS

  • Litters
    • Swapped from the old template-driven application process to the new form driven one.
  • Genealogy
    • Added a create box for making pages.
    • Added {{Preload/Genealogy}} to help get consistency in the pages with less explaining on my part.

I haven't been listing discussion topics in these updates, but I really should. Having a way to draw extra attention is nice. If you have ideas for discussion topics, feel free to either PM me or just start it yourself.

Mostly housekeeping, but I'm behind on my housekeeping because of schooling. I want to use Spring Break (which will be starting as soon as I get out of class today).

I'm going to start another month with a mass of housekeeping. It just seems like the sensible approach.

CHARACTER PROCESSING

ADOPTIONS

I wish I had more time but due to homework there simply isn't for me. There are a number of additional characters from the adoption rolls who're going to be eased yet. Additionally there are a few who will be going away in the next few months or so. Keep in mind, if you don't like a character don't "Save" it. You're not saving it, you're just putting off the inevitable if you don't love the character and actually really want it. Better to have slots in clans be opened than to keep them clogged with a character you didn't want in the first place.

FROM YESTERDAY

SOFTWARE UPDATES

  • Forum
    • Upgraded to version 2.5.8 from 2.5.7
    • Installed new "forum title" information. Currently I'm using a throwback system for "Lurks". It's a personal joke really, that I'll explain if people ask.It will got to the Muffin System at the point when the integration between the Social Profile and the Forum happens. If someone has a cuter system idea they should PM me.

PLANNED SOFTWARE UPDATES

  • Forms System - To get more options and better functionality
  • SMW - Has to be done for the forms.
  • Mediawiki - At least security patching needs to happen.

CHARACTER PROCESSING

CHARACTER PROCESSING

I hope that I can add to this list later (they'll be marked with some sort of indication that they were added later... But I have homework to do and a ton of other things that need handling. Also slated for work here at CoSC: Player Relationships and various cleanups for the month badly need to get done. and Bans lists have not been touched in AGES, and those really need a spruce.

I think I have my life at least marginally under control again.

CHARACTER PROCESSING

DEPARTMENTS

  • Genealogy
    • Sleekpelt Tree has been altered to incorporate Icystone, Her parents, and the offspring of the pair. Also applied it to all applicable characters.

The FUTURE

  • Idle player deletions will be put off until June.
  • Bans List Update will be done soon.
  • Continued efforts for character apps.

GENERAL

  • Bans
    • Updated the Clans ban lists.
  • PSAs

CHARACTER PROCESSING

Apps are sort of caught up. All pending PCs are processed now. I'm down to only NPCs needing attention, and they're low priority.

LITTERS DEPARTMENT

  • Approved Thornberry x Minnowleaf for 2 Kits
    • Rolled Kitten #1: Liveborn Black Bicolor Tom with Aqua Eyes
    • Rolled Kitten #2: Liveborn Gray Van Tom with Lime Eyes

Litters are a pain in the neck when not all characters are in the system, or genotyped, ect.

CHARACTER PROCESSING

Several items were done previously and I just forgot to announce them here. Those items are marked with an asterisk and date.

CHARACTER PROCESSING

I have not necessary listed a bunch of updates done immediately prior to my trip to Madison. I'm going to try and get back into the habit of listing things if only because it's a nice way to make sure y'all know what's up.

CHARACTER PROCESSING

Possibility of more stuff later today. I might work on Genealogy or Genetics or something, since I'm behind on both.

Since I don't know how much other notable stuff I'll get done... I'm gonna list what I have now and edit later.

I neglected to post on the thread way too often in June. I really must improve my ratio of work to posting it in this thread...

  • Reinstated Kazul's Offer on Cottonwhisker under PSA #23.
  • Kazul's offer on Cottonwhisker is now in review (PSA #23).
  • Seafur's offer on Rivertail is now in review (PSA #23).

PLAYER RELATIONS

*: Player has not logged in for at least 1 month.

ADOPTIONS DEPARTMENT

PLAYER RELATIONS

As you've noticed in addition to the other stuff I do, I'm working to catch up on figuring out which players are really active. And eventually what accounts I can delete. I really need to come up with a more regular system for this.

PLAYER RELATIONS

WEBSITE CODE

  • Member Profiles - I know many of you have noticed that you have to bounce through the forums to send a PM. Well, no longer. I've managed (after wrestling with code I just barely understood) to add in a link to the PM that sets up an automatic PM to the user whose page you're on. I don't know if anyone else will like this as much as I will personally, but I made it happen!

ADOPTIONS DEPARTMENT

  • Adoption Type Changes
    • Aleit: Eased Adoption -> Living Off Camera
    • Gypsy: Confiscated, Eased Adoption -> Living Off Camera
    • Kemintiri: Confiscated, Eased Adoption -> Living Off Camera
    • Robin: Confiscated, Eased Adoption -> Living Off Camera
    • Tom: Eased Adoption -> Living Off Camera
    • Sootfur: General Adoption -> Eased Adoption

PLAYER RELATIONS

As of now I'm approximately up to the number of players who needed to be IDed as idle. From here we should get to do less all at once, which is nice. With luck things will keep a better balance from now on.

PLAYER RELATIONS

Soon enough we'll have the "active without characters" list accurate. ;) More players should be working to get off it, you know. It's not like you need to sign up to look around.

AUGUST

CHARACTER PROCESSING

CHARACTER PROCESSING

I'm crazy busy right now, But I at least took care of the ones that were the furthest overdue.

CHARACTER PROCESSING

CHARACTER PROCESSING

I got time to do one approval. Player Characters, then Clan cats come first, so Honeynose got shunted to the front of the line.

ACTIVITY CHECKs are in progress for all groups now, and will wrap up on the 17th day of the month of August.

DEPARTMENTS

  • Genealogy

This post is old because I meant to get more done this day and then it turned out to be appendicitis. Normal updates should commence in the next few days.

Due to the fact that I'm still recovering, expect updates and character checks to maintain their current slow pace for a bit.

CHARACTER PROCESSING

I might try and do more later, but I'm hurtin' a bit now, so I'm done.

CHARACTER PROCESSING

CHARACTER PROCESSING

I'm still running behind where I wanted to be, but at it's only been a week since I had an organ removed (vestigial though it may be) I figure I'm not doing too bad.

CHARACTER PROCESSING

Might be more work later, but as character processing (and being 100% up to date on it) is the most important sort of thing I do, seems like just publishing my update list is the smart way to go.

SEPTEMBER

Another month here. And this one features my birthday in the first week! I'll be scrambling to catch up quick, including getting the moon changeover done ASAP. But that's gotta wait for tomorrow. Today I'm gonna do a bit of the character processing.

CHARACTER PROCESSING

CHARACTER APPROVALS

I'm still behind on PCs who are pending, but not as far as I was. I'll try and get through the entire PC backlog and as much of the NPC one as I can tomorrow. Adoptions will also be processed tomorrow before I go to work.

For starters, I'm going to make a blanket apology for how long things are taking. I have large projects due already in 3 of four classes. It's absolutely killing my free time and my time to sit down and do through intensive things like processing.

CHARACTER PROCESSING

I'm going to lay another blanket apology for the HUGE LACK of processing that happened over this past week. It turned out, for my entire Graphic Design Class, to be the week from hell. It nearly broke all of us, and it ate up so much of my free time that I hardly got to touch CoSC for more than a few replies.

GENEALOGY DEPARTMENT

CHARACTER PROCESSING

I'm well aware that I'm way behind. Things should get more normal now that my stop motion animation is finished. Projects should be a bit more time manageable than they have been since the semester started.
