This is unimportant

Hello, thought i would take a moment and say a few things.

First off its great to hear that the betas are to be reset soon, cant wait to play around with the new trades. I basically stopped playing again so that I could get back to work on some assignments I was having, though if the game gets reset soon ill have a good amount of time to play it as I am almost through all my current assignments.

As well the new main game hosted by Tempest looks pretty good, Big is on top, but thats nothing new, most interesting thing i found about the game is that it is at the address www.aatraders.ca, a server i was playing on months ago without even knowing Tempest was hosting it, and I thought he was hibernating somewhere. His new house looks great and am looking forward to any new photos if they happen to present themselves online.

I am amazed that even though we are still working out the bugs of 0.3 Tarnus is still pulling out and devising new ideas for the future, the stock market can be so amazing and cool, giving even a new player a leg up. Well if it works in such a way that would make that possible, but either way it will be interesting to see how it unfolds.

Well as for me, I am working on a new website for myself, a great idea hit me for a flash design so I ran with it, now the design is almost completed and another idea struck me of how to design the low bandwidth HTML version so everything is going great on it. I am about to start adding the actual pages. What makes it awesome is the fact that I have been waiting for a chance to implement some of the new things I have learned in flash, oh i cant wait, lol. As well once this website is done I will be able to hopefully go back to one of the three flash games I started some time ago, they have alot of promise and I really enjoy working on them, same thing always happens though I hit a bug and homework at the same time and the game goes into the depths of my hard drive, or another idea for something else hits me and I switch over. Still this site should get finished because coding wise I have done everything several times before and its all pretty easy now, and I just love my design, and people who have never liked my designs before like them too, so that makes it so much better. If all goes as scheduled i should have it completed for the new year. Once thats all done I think I may look into how flash recieves xml so that i can attempt to create my own front end for aatraders when that xml output comes into play, who knows if I think it is good enough it may become the default one, but thats far off as I have never used or looked into xml in my life except to the point that i know it exists. I have noticed that RSS newsfeeds are popping up more and more, and having firefox i could never subscribe to them, that changed today, as I was looking through some of the extensions firefox has I found an awesome RSS feed for firefox, its called infoRSS and goes on the status bar at the bottom of the screen, though I have nothing to compare it to myself, it seems to be great, doesnt use up any extra space on the browser as its on the status bar which always had extra room on it, and as a bonus to add newsfeeds its just drag and drop, well I think it is cool. Now I will ever miss my favourite blogs on AAT even though I havent ever missed them in the firstplace. hahaha

Oh and I am looking for someone to help me create a windows based test server on my pc, i tried something called Uniserver, it installed fine with php, mysql, and several other things but I had no real idea how to work it out, couldnt even get aatraders installed properly as I didnt know which folder i was supposed to put it in. Oh well, if anyone can help me out, thanks alot. My server will need php and mysql support at the least for my own testing purposes; but having everything that aatraders needs to work would be a great bonus, thanks.
