Information directly related to this site.
I feel like I should post something since I haven't in ages. Yes, I'm still alive.
I've been surprisingly busy for the past few weeks (especially considering it's summer), so I've made essentially no progress on anything.
But I do hope to post a demo or screenshots or something for Astral Supremacy since the countdown clock ran out.
This page is valid HTML 4.01 Strict!
...Or, rather, it was valid HTML 4.01 Strict.
Then Drupal got to it, and decided to make it invalid HTML/XHTML Nonstandard Random Useless Crap.
Namely, Drupal has decided to do the "Fake Empty Element" dance. That's where valid HTML tags, like "<link>," are turned into invalid HTML tags like "<link/>."
Such a tag would be valid XML and therefore (might) be valid XHTML.
But this page doesn't use XHTML for a few very simple reasons:
This is, yet again, an attempt to write down a policy that's been in effect for quite a while.
All comments go to moderation. I will get around to checking the moderation queue - honestly. (OK, not all comments - administrators and certain "blessed" accounts - of which there are none - also get to skip the moderation queue.)
All comments are subject to a "lameness filter" that will reject comments based on programmatic filters. These are basically an attempt to block spam without requiring a captcha.
The full list is after the jump.
You might notice that the site is green today. Well, as it turns out, this site is literally green: Dreamhost is a "green" hosting provider:
Of course, it's only "green" due to carbon offsets, which are sort of a silly thing, but for the sake of claiming to be greener than I really am I'll leave that argument for a later day.
I've put up the Christmas decorations here at xenoveritas.org! The theme will remain up for the remainder of the month.
Dreamhost will be moving the Spacey cluster on December 1st, from approximately 6:00AM to 2:00PM GMT. This will cause this site to be down for the same period of time.
Happy Halloween, everyone!
This recolored version of the main theme will remain up until Halloween ends, so enjoy it while it lasts.
I apologize in advance for the various places where Drupal's colors remain that fail in the inverted Halloween white-text-on-black-background scheme.
This policy has been in effect for a while but never officially typed up. Basically, user accounts used for spamming will be deleted, and any account that has never been accessed after six months will be deleted.
