Congratulations are in order for Janus, who was promoted to Jedi Trainer today. Janus is a very hard working individual who also happens to be a fantastic guy, and we're thrilled to have him as one of the JATs now, nice one Janus! Also, we welcome Leif back to the ranks as a Jedi Knight. I'm sure none of you will be all to surprised at this, as we know, Leif was an awesome JAK before and we're sure he'll continue to be just as awesome now. Welcome back, Mr. Leif!  |

Addition from Buzz: You DO NOT GIVE OUT PASSWORDS TO YOUR FRIENDS. Period. End of Story. If I hear about it happening again I will ban you on the spot even if they weren't doing anything wrong. Have them apply and wait just like you had to. |

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. I hope you have starved yourselves through the night and morning for a larger lunch / dinner. Now, I'm going to go back to watching King Kong and March of the Wooden Soldiers. |

Another new Jedi Knight! -Virtue- Nov 12 12:50am -23 comments- |

Everyone be sure to stop by Roan Belouve's profile to congratulate him on being the latest addition to the Jedi Knight rank. I am told he nailed his trials - but to be honest, that doesn't really surprise me.  Congratulations, Roan! And welcome aboard. |

Official JA Skinpack is here! -Virtue- Oct 30 11:23pm -23 comments- |
|
Well then, we've finally got the final version of the Official JA Skinpack up on the Servers. Very special thanks to the following people: Setementor Gradius R2D2 Proximo Solitude for all their hard work in making this for us. Mad props to you guys! You can download the whole skin pack here and on the Server pages, or if you are a caveman and have a slow connection, these fabulous gents have also made it possible for you to download the pack in segments, here. The skinpack is not required to play on the JA Servers, but it is a very nice addition to have, if you want it. Have fun, guys!  |

Wheres the bots? -DJ Sith- Oct 26 06:18am -12 comments- |

Well my home server has tanked again and we'll be without the IRC company of the lovable JABot and brabble for a while. The server broke nice and good and it'll take me some time to get the parts together to rebuild. I'd like to share a few life lessons from my expereiences with this server crash. 1: Don't plug a laser printer in behind a UPS. Apparently they suck ginormous amounts of power when warming toner. Power suckage breaks UPS which in turn breaks sensitive equipment behind that UPS. 2: Don't plug a laser printer into the same circuit as a UPS. House no likey, especially if your house is anywhere near 50 years old. 3: Don't buy a UPS that usually retails for $800 out of the back of a van for $50. Sure it might run great for a few years, but one messup and *poof*. 4: If you run a server at home that keeps sensitive information like academy site backups, your taxes, four years worth of email, your personal domain, and your academy's IRC bots it might be best to invest in a RAID solution. Protect your stuff! So be warned! Don't buy old homes! Don't buy suspicious merchandise! Implement redundancy! I hope this lesson was as refreshing for all of you to read as it is for me to write. I'll have ye olde bots back up as soon as I can. On another note we're still receiving applications for the new article editor position. Remember you have 5 days before we stop accepting apps. Email us if you want to get your name on that thar intarweb and help out the Academy to boot! |
