The Nexus

I've updated the forum from version 3.0 to 3.3, which is several major versions above what we were previously using. I'll need to re-skin the forum so that it looks better than the basic install, and also rebuild the integration into the main Nexus page, including all the dexes. Current plans have m...

@mystic Renoth trumpeted her fury at the twisted Blood Court Gold who veered at her. ::I will do no such thing!:: she shot back, tucking the egg closer to her breast and snapping her wings closed. She dropped. Let the other gold skim over her. Snapped her wings back open and skimmed the sands befor...

Beryl adjusted her grip on Aminath as the hatchling scrambled up to drape partially across her shoulders, inwardly thankful for her innate Adventurer's strength and durability as Aminath's claws hooked around her armor and pressed against her skin; she would never have been able to carry such an ene...

@bug, @Shard Darasath resisted the urge to smile at Rosenheim's nerves, knowing that many people did not react well to a typical toothy dragon 'smile', and simply nodded in agreement. "Shy has had a hand in the creation of many beings, including the progenitors of my kind, so I have no doubt t...

@bug Darasath finished her conversation with the Pigeon and turned her head to watch the stranger march towards her. She was a bit bemused at being approached by someone, having expected the various Nexus Leaders and their chosen candidates to mingle amongst themselves and generally overlook her, e...

Darasath and Renoth appeared in the air above Shy's laboratory, the trip a familiar one to them after so many visits to check in on the eggs currently hardening on the sands. Eggs created from their Clan , even if their results would have... little resemblance to them , if Shy's goal was achieved. (...

I'mma end up putting together a collection.. somewhere.. but! I would like to acknowledge claiming: Bunny drones 1, 2, 4, 5, Bunny queens 1, 2, Chick drones 1, 2, 3, and Chick queens 2, 5. What will I do with them? Who am I foisting them upon? gods only know, I sure don't, but whoever it will be wil...

*laughs* Well, when you're less messed up, feel free to post your thoughts and we can discuss viability for sure. I'm learning a lot about how things are stored and displayed through this current job of mine, so I'll probably have a lot better idea about things these days than I would have a couple ...

XD Well, considering the work I did was entirely behind the scenes and dedicated to permission locking areas of the program to various permissions, I'll go with "didn't cause any major fires as a result" which isn't ENTIRELY true because MISCOMMUNICATIONS WEEEEE~ (One user-group came in an...

Yeah, that's essentially agile development in a nutshell. The place I work for right now is trying to put that into practice, but we're a bit too scattered to really have it work just yet. We're still learning how to work with each other without stepping on toes. It doesn't help that our priorities ...

Wow, rude much? I'm sorry you had to deal with something like that, sounds really annoying for sure. =P My recent coding work makes me go "ooh, ooh, php coding with a database backend! that'll fix being able to switch open/closed signs everywhere!" but that might be too much effort *laughs...

Luckily, there are a lot of nice frameworks that work better these days for tables and automate a lot of the difficult bits. It was initially for completely random characters, but I was considering how to make it less random by picking options, but never got around to coding that stuff in since I wa...

No worries, next weekend should be fine and open as well xD The reason I have a three day weekend is now live, so I shouldn't have to spend extra time at work. Huh, that sounds like a right big mess, and pretty frustrating I agree. I'm glad you've mostly parted ways with them at this point, consider...

(Site5 is the host of the Nexus, and husband and I have had no complaints about them in all the years we've had this service. I keep considering switching silveredmagic over to site5 but then I consider how much effort that would be and just shrug and stay with inmotionhosting because they're not im...

Lulz hello Shard, you beat me to it <3 Yes, I wanted to essentially automate that process because I love the concept and results but it takes like half an hour at best to get a complete character and just. sigh. But the coding ended up being pretty complex because there's a lot more table interactio...

Thanks ^^ It was definitely an "omg, at last!" sort of thing; I'm really not highly employable from an experience or contacts standpoint? (love the catch 22 of "you must have experience to work here / can't get experience without work" thing). Amusingly enough, the work I did on ...

Yeah I keep meaning to go back in and actually add more information into that database than what little is currently there. Even just getting a better collection of species lists would be up there in my to-do list. And I doubt I'll ever take down Akelara; first off, silveredmagic is basically my per...

Yo! So I noticed there's a bit of activity on here, so I should probably post an update for myself <3 In the past month, I've actually found a job and have been working regularly as a programmer. It's nice to be employed for what I trained for =P I've been really out of it, in all honesty, been doin...

... Oh, shoot? I had done something with the ferilons on DA, hadn't I, Shard? Life's gotten pretty crazy for my rn so I've forgotten.

For what little it's worth, Akelara is still up in it's regular place.

And for what else it's worth, I have a full set of pdf rips of the Icarus site? I'd saved it years ago when I was working on NaNo for the Nexus storyline.

Oh dear lord, I've had that for two years at this point? Wow. Okay then. Also I still don't have that central casting char gen done, whoops.

((Whoops, sorry. Summer trouble and then Pokemon Go ate my life, ahahaha... ^^;; Did you have fun on your tour?)) Shaltach kept advancing steadily down the tunnel, charged ion blade and low-light vision on her helmet doing as much as they could to light her way. But even that couldn't penetrate far ...

((Ouch, sucks that you keep having people bail on you. I hope that starts to go better than it's begun! And sight seeing down there sounds like a fun experience ^^ )) As they moved deeper into the tunnel, Karjan lit and looped a glow light around his left wrist, the soft chemical light providing a s...

((Nice! I'm glad you had fun ^^ Try not to burn out through overwork during the comicon =P Especially if you have that much to juggle and organize.))

((Oohh, I hope your wedding goes well, Airy! Make sure to get some relaxation in there somewhere, before you burn out on grading and wedding prep!))

Karjan exhaled through his mouth, a near-noiseless 'aaah' of excitement-understanding-desire . ^What were you saying, about the early days of wormholing?^ Lajira's mouth curled downwards in a moue of annoyance, as she shot her brother a look. As much as she had loved those early days, filled with th...

Hahaha, well, yeah. The message board is still up, even if it's pretty dead these days.

((Bam, gettin' better at this =P )) Lajira hurried after the young dragon and Smyth, no more eager to meet more hungry Ordivacians than the other two were. The jack on her lower back and the claw marks around it were still aching, though her implants and Aura were filtering that neural imput out as ...
