    I recently got an idea for a short column, and this is it. SP Happenings will be a more or less weekly blurb from me on what is going on with and around SP, approximately when you can expect the next site update, my current pet peeves and things like that. It should also give people a bit more insight into the mysterious operations of Sorcerer's Place which are, more often than not, quite trivial. I welcome any comments and suggestions. (For which you can utilize the handy Comments link at the bottom of this post.)

    Now then, what to talk about... Well, let's start with the recent addition to the SP family of websites. Besides RPG Codex, everyone's favourite unbiased RPG news website (you wish), SP is now also hosting WeiDU.org, Westley Weimer's mod site. Even those of you who are not into Infinity Engine mods have probably heard about the Solaufein romance (and many more of his mods), so hosting Westley's site is both a privilege and an honour for me.

    On to the pet peeves... Well, my biggest one at present is time. Yes, time. Something so trivial and yet when it goes wrong, oh-so-annoying. The server SP and all the hosted sites are running on has been losing several hours a day lately, and I'm sick of correcting it manually. I have tried a couple of solutions which would automatically fix it and save me the bother, but for various reasons none of them worked. So I'm hoping to come up with something which WILL work soon, because it seems I'm not doing much else than fix the bloody time all time now.

    As far as site updates go I don't expect to do another till the beginning of July, because the last exam I have before September is on July 1st... So all of you who are sending content in, sorry for the delay, but this is unavoidable. July has also been designated the SP Redesign month. More next time.

    Isn't Tal the coolest? Not only does he keep this thing (S.P.) up and running, but he also values our input and keeps us informed as to what's going on.

    Thank you Mighty One :)

    Wonderfull, Now I have a reason to read the main page again, Thehehe. On the time issue won't it be possible to make the server recieve info from its Linux or windows clock?

    SP happenings is a great idea, makes us feel even more at home at SP.

    Cheers
