  • Monterey County Rangers, RSS Feed
    Wed Oct 30 2019 08:34 am
    I added a RSS feed for, "151.250 BEU (CDF San Benito-Monterey Ranger Unit) Local RSS feed" Basically they post fire stuff for Monterey County.

    I figured with CA having all these fire issues that I might start bringing in relivant news postings.

    The RSS Feed posts to the Local Monterey board. Find it and add it to your new message scans.

  • FIXED! So long Windows XP!
    Sat Sep 28 2019 12:01 pm
    So my board was dead. I pushed the nightly build to my system and Windows XP kept crashing. Because I had already updated all the JavaScript on the board (without a backup, of course), everything was borked under the older SBBS build.

    After much researching, it was suggested (by Digital Man of course) that maybe it's time to retire Windows XP.

    So I found a Windows 7 OEM Key I had lying around, and after trying to use the key with Windows 10, and failing, I installed the Windows 7 x86 under VirtualBox 6, spent a day patching. Copied in my SBBS folder, and everything worked.

    So, Latest build running again, and everything seems clean and working correctly.

    Chalk this one up to BACKUP before updating anything. I'm gonna make a automatic backup that makes nice little archives and keep them on a Cloud account in Argentina or something...

    So Long Live Windows 7! (until January 20th, 2020 when it hits EOL... FML)

  • Polling Various RSS Newsfeeds, again.
    Wed May 09 2018 11:07 am
    So I had the Synchronet RSS WebFeed program running, but when I accidentally
    nuked some of my .ini files and didn't have a proper backup, I never noticed
    that I forgot to setup this program again.

    Well good news, it's back. There are 4 boards in the "Local" Sub-Group, and
    here are the RSS feeds that come into these boards.

    Note: If you think you have or can suggest a better feed or would like to see
    different feeds here, just let me know.

    So I accidentally deleted some custom files for my board. Hopefully I have a
    backup somewhere. In the meantime... crap!
