Things should be going more smoothly now, but perhaps we're getting to that point where it's time to burn the server down and start over. Tue, 07 Nov 2006 03:54:57 GMT http://www.bodyinflation.org/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=16 Ten years. It's happening in six months. Roughly. That's when I'll be celebrating ten years as a webmaster. What a long, strange trip it's been. I'll try to do something special for the occasion. At the speed I work, I should start planning now. Thu, 06 Jul 2006 06:34:01 GMT http://www.bodyinflation.org/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=15 For the past couple of days, a bunch of you were getting an error at login telling you that you needed to enable cookies. I messed up a setting in one of the server updates I applied last week, and that was causing the problem. Everything should be fixed now. If any of you continue to have problems logging in, email me. Mon, 29 May 2006 20:07:31 GMT http://www.bodyinflation.org/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=14 I've made a few changes to the image gallery. There's a new gallery called Screen Captures. We have a number of pictures of inflation scenes from movies and TV. They're different enough from inflation artwork and numerous enough that I think they warrant a separate gallery. You can now upload a picture and assign it to the Inflation Images or Screen Captures gallery. The Upload Gallery doesn't serve any purpose besides being a placeholder for uploaded images, but I'll keep it around for a while do people don't get too confused. All upoaded images will still have to be approved before they appear. The biggest change is in the artist galleries. I've made a few available to nonymous users. Previously, all artists galleries were only viewable by people who were registered and logged in. This is another experiement; I'll see if the site can handle the additional load, and make more available if it can.

In the words of its creators, The purpose of MakeHuman is "to provide a versatile, professional and extremely specialized application for parametrical modeling of three-dimensional humanoid characters." Project MakeHuman recently released a new demo of the version of the software in development. Why should you care? 1) The software allows for some rather fascinating and bizarre deformations of the figures. 2) It's free. Check it out.

Most of you probably haven't noticed, since the BitTorrent tracker hasn't been working too well for a while. I've started experimenting with other forms of file distribution. Thu, 07 Jul 2005 09:43:38 GMT http://www.bodyinflation.org/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=11 I know as well as any and better than most how important anonymity is when dealing with sites such as this one. I encourage you to remain as anonymous as is practical, as there can be consequences if you're actually connected to this site. Mon, 23 May 2005 10:03:37 GMT http://www.bodyinflation.org/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=10 Lots of people have been having trouble with the torrents. Basically, the browser tries to download them as video files when they clearly aren't. I've made a change in the server config, and they should be delivered as torrent files now. A few days ago I quietly enabled the "Submit Story" option to the main menu. It's kind of a hacked solution, but it'll do until I deal with the shortcomings of the story archive. Sat, 30 Apr 2005 01:55:16 GMT http://www.bodyinflation.org/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=9 OK, I goofed. In the process of rebuilding the web site, I completely neglected to provide any means for people to contribute material. I've corrected this oversight, and there's now an Upload Gallery in the image gallery. Any registered user can upload. Mon, 11 Apr 2005 09:46:46 GMT http://www.bodyinflation.org/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=8 It's been one week sincc the site relaunch. So far, things are going quite well.
