What am I working on right now

I worked on a plugin mechanism for the Team Page. The plugin mechanism should it make easy for me (and others?) to create plugins for teams. The first plugin I developed is the pact list and it works great. The final step towards releasing the plugin framework and pact list is to find a way of publishing it. Currently I'm not sure where on the Team page the plugins should fit. I guess a tabbed layout would fit best (to facilitate multiple plugins), but I don't particulary like the current tabs (at least not under IEx)

I guess I have to update the lost password, activate, and resend activationcode pages.
Modify the signup page to also support editing of details. Which sucks. -> Make a component out of it and stuff it on the control panel in T3!
Fight Server ranks!
Subscriber features! We're running out of subscribers

2007-10-07 Solved the Viewstate problem. Did some work on the cheater buster.
2007-10-06 Fixed Safari/Firefox layout. Turned out that the banner broke the alignments.
2007-08-09 Got everything running under Vista Now (Development). Now runs on IIS7 here. Even debugging works!
2007-06-20 Making the entire project run with VS2005 - First attempt failed (rolled back to backup) - Now succeeded!
2007-06-19 Converted the project to VS2005... Worked OK locally, now have to publish it to the web site
2007-06-17 Fixed some minor bugs. Made some plannings for other features.
2007-06-14 Finished the signup page for T3. Added referral functionalities: 50 cents referral bonus.
2007-06-03 Did some work on Custodia. Changed the server links a bit. That event validation problem is killing me... Not sure what it is meant for. It is sure new in ASP.NET 2.0... Changed some things there

In random order

~~Multi-sealop problem! When Sealops either have all the same result or seem like having the same result (Randomizer issue?)~~
Add extra Custodia logging
~~Should make sure that you can't go into neutral with PO's (Or PO's are cancelled - I like the former)~~
~~Should fix that news browse bug.~~
~~Referral bonus stuff.~~
~~Subscribers should see a logo in their team screen.~~
~~Add images to main page posts~~
~~Counting back in game~~
~~Last Day indicator~~
~~Market return bug -> Recalculate NW *after* stuff is removed from market~~ ??
~~Overflow should insert maxamount.~~
Pres. ability to delete threads (Paid feature)
HTML support for team messages (Paid feature)
~~Pact list (Paid feature)~~
Ability to save boards over round (Paid feature)

Fixed dead-with-land bug. The unassigned land wasn't nulled.
Removed archive from FS
Fixed mult-sealop. Randomizer wasn't unique enough when sealops are fired within the same second.
Changed overflow: Overflow catch now returns long.MaxValue instead of 0, this is more intuitive.
Added extra networth calculations when returning good from the market.
Fixed TEQ2 History
You can now properly switch from page to page in the news browser
Hopefully that validation problem. I guess it will still show up at a place or two.
Fixed PO cancellation problem
Fixed the Viewstate problem

2007-06-14 Windows decided to install some patches and reboot all by itself. The SQL Jobs didn't restart by themselves (they shouldn't - it would restart the round) and I didn't know about it until 11:00. I tried to fix it, but apparently I fucked up by giving out the turns to TS instead of TS, GS, FS... I only found out around 1:30, which is waaay to late to fix that. So we'll have to live with that... at least the cause was fixed.
2007-06-04 Apparently you can't run both an ASP.NET 1.1 and ASP.NET 2.0 in the same application pool. So the wiki and the banner system clashed... Didn't find that out until this afternoon, when Service Unavailable messages started appearing. Created a separate App pool for TEQ2 now.
2007-06-03 Updated Windows 2003 to service pack 2. Did the same with SQL Server. Created a maintenance plan to make sure that all databases are updatede weekly
2007-06-03 Created the Wiki, did some maintenance
