Poll Question:
Avo and I have been working on a revised version of storm. We are trying to fix a great number of problems especially with some of the layout of the site. (The boxes to type these polls in are way too small.) Anyway, months ago we discussed changing the markup language that Storm-Artists uses. Recently I've narrowed the choices to the following four: keep the current BBCode, use plain html, use Textile with html, or use Markdown with html. BBCode Used because it's really easy to program and somewhat familar. HTML Offered as an option because most people are familar with html (Note: Full html wouldn't be allowed for a number of reasons, the allowed tags for journals would likely include: b, i, u, a, img, strike, strong, em, abbr, pre, blockquote, code, p, div without the option for styling) Textile A markup language used on very commonly on blogs and some wiki programs. It supports inline CSS styling of elements but it a little more complex than the other options. (Note: HTML would still be available.) Markdown Also used on blogs and is very popular for use in comments because of it's simple and limited syntax. (It is very easy to remove malicious code from Markdown formated text) (Note: HTML would still be available.) Any questions, suggestions, or discussion is welcomed. (as long as it's on topic  )BBCode Html Textile (Would include Html) Markdown (Would include Html) Total: 47 votes Read More Latest newspost
WebChat change! (The awesome kind) Written by epochwolf May 10, 2008, 1:21:34 PM The first program storm-artists used for the WebChat was okay. :) It was great that users could finally chat with each other without needing to be technically inclined enough to setup an irc client. It wasn't without it's faults. It lagged, it didn't work when the my personal server got messed up. (Save the rolled up newspapers for Avo, it's always his fault! )Mibbit.com was something I ran across a few weeks ago. It was cool, it was shiny. I played with it for awhile before bringing it to the attention of the other coders and the evil policy director. (just kidding! SI is awesome.) Then it was just a matter of changing the links in the code and tweaking a few things.  And on to the changes. 1. The restrictions that were on the old WebChat no longer apply. 2. Since the servers at mibbit.com handle the load, I opened up WebChat use to anyone browsing the site. 3. Because our gracious host irc.sff.net isn't registered on mibbit.com, you will have to enter a username before logging on to the server. (Your login name is filled in by default) When that changes you will be automatically logged in. 4. Mibbit.com does put a single line of advertising underneath the tab bar. The coding team and the evil policy director decided this was acceptable for the advantages that would be gained. The advertising is not run or endorsed by storm-artists in any way. 5. Your userdata is no longer needed for login to the WebChat. The old CGI:IRC setup sent user data to epochwolf.com. It was reasonably secure setup but it's better to not have to do it at all. 6. As mentioned before, any visitor to the site can chat. No account is required. 7. Finally! It doesn't lag or look ugly like the old one did. So go and checkout the new WebChat (Just remember, you might have to poke someone to get their attention. Example: "EpochWolf: Hello!? :| are you blind or just sleeping.")

A Whisper and A Clamor Jun 16, 2008, 02:58:21
Mood:  interestedListening To: A Whisper and A Clamor by Anberlin 
Burning OutI've been running all over the place from a number of obligations. I am so close to burning out. When things get like this I wonder why I even exist. Why do I have so many things to do? What's the point in all this. I happened to listen to the song below. I'll continue my journal below it. YouTube: A Whisper and A Clamor by Anberlin Growing tired of bedside resolve Public display of depression Something's got to give now Something's going to break down I grow tired of writing songs While people listen but never hear what's really going on now Tell me what's so wrong now Clap your hands all ye children There's a clamor in your whispering Clap your hands tonight Hear what the silence screams Clap your hands Clap your hands now all ye children Clap your hands all ye children There's a clamor in your whispering tonight For most who live and breathe Hell is never knowing who they are now Tell me who you are now Finally safe from the outside trapped in what you know Are you safe from yourself? Can you escape all by yourself? Clap your hands all ye children There's a clamor in your whispering Clap your hands tonight Hear what the silence screams Clap your hands Clap your hands now all ye children Clap your hands all ye children There's a clamor in your whispering tonight Clap your hands Clap your hands now all ye children Clap your hands There's a clamor in your whispering tonight It's not the lies that you sing But what the silence will scream It's not the lies that you sing But what the silence will scream It's not the lies that you sing But what the silence will scream Clap your hands all ye children There's a clamor in your whispering Clap your hands tonight Hear what the silence screams Clap your hands Clap your hands now all ye children Clap your hands all ye children There's a clamor in your whispering tonight Away from Nothing and Everything Anyway, I was pondering this tonight. I managed to catch bronchitis on Friday so I didn't do much this weekend. The little I accomplished aside. I've realized that I've yet again not made time to relax. I really do put myself last in alot of ways and I end up wasted time doing things that only create stress while seeming to delay it. I find the song's lines "It's not the lies that you sing / But what the silence will scream" very meaningful. When I sit down and listen to what my heart is saying deep down I find a lost person. When all the clamor of the world is far away I am lost, alone, and unhappy. I keep myself busy to hide from myself. C.S. Lewis said it best: "If I find in myself desires which nothing in this world can satisfy, the only logical explanation is that I was made for another world." The answers I seek are beyond anything a human can provide. I have known this for a long time. My feelings result from being in a world to which I do not belong. Now What? I picked up a book my dad was reading called "Chasing Daylight". My dad doesn't read many books anymore, the few he does read now are worth spending an entire day reading and rereading a single chapter. It has this on page 6, "...God has been either terribly misunderstood or tragically misrepresented. All God seems to be known for is legalism, rules, judgments, commands, and wrath. In fact, Jesus calls us to live a life of unimaginable adventure." In my heart I knew this was what I was missing. I'm made for a life of unimaginable adventure. I daydream as various characters I wish I could be. A warrior, a sorcerer, fighter pilot, and more. I dream of adventure, of moral struggles, of tough decisions in a world of moral uncertainties. The words of C.S. Lewis ring in my ears. I do not belong here. I am an alien in this world, sent for a purpose, an adventure. I have heard my whisper, now I need to figure out what to do. The adventure has already started, and I'm lost. I need a map and a guide. Thankfully, God has provided both. I need only ask. Avatar made by [4g0ny] Read More Groups Comments
