DISQUS

While crons are a good way to do such a task, they aren't the best solution. For a game with a large DB a cron can take too long to cycle through the DB.

Classic example is TornCity. Their crons (when they were using crons) would take so long that it could take up to a day for a player to get a single update which was to occur every 15 minutes.

Instead a better solution would be the "on-view" event in my opinion. We have discussed this solution on my blog, and it seems to be the best solution.

The basic idea is that fields aren't updated till they have to been updated. So if I were to attacking someone, their info would be updated before the attack was made.

Are you guys really giving out prizes for trolling each other? Hell, I do this for free!

Speaking of it, JT, if you are looking for a way to gain some more time to do research (I suggest a dictionary in case you were stuck for a source), and one assumes that time flies when you're having fun, you may want to avoid your mothers room tonight.

I would like an invite to Spock if you could and grooveshark if you would be so kind ^_^

now if you can tell me how to undo this process and have my gtalk account back to normal that would be wonderful ^_^

So I followed your directions and but it seems I broke it. None of my contacts are appearing online... I will try again a little later and post my results but so far no go.

so i guess my post was marked as spam lol. Ooops. Had too mnay links i guess. Check out Rainlender and Rainmeter. Very nice with this style of desktop

There's a link to my desktop. I am using Rainlender and Rainmeter there. Both nice tools in my opinion.

You can get both from here.

Thanks for the link to the site. I have downloaded the Vista Inspirat files. I really enjoy it ^_^. I have noticed some system lag but its only a little. Mind you have all the graphic options turned on here.
