Tag up some servers

Merry Christmas!
Especially to all fellow shift workers out there that have to keep the world running and don't get a day off on this holiday! Jiggly feels your pain and salutes you!
My gift to the world.

Shamelessly ripped from the headlines at Planetfortress.com:
Spotted on CS-Nation. A recent interview over at HomeLAN Fed with Erik Johnson, one of the head honcho's at VALVe Headquarters, about the upcoming CS:CZ game, also gave away a probable release date:
Erik Johnson - We're planning on releasing the beta of Counter-Strike 1.6 via Steam on January 7th.
As you know, Half-Life and Counter-Strike patches are known to be released at the same time. And this fits nicely with the last news that the next Half-Life patch (along with the new TFC updates) would be released in this month. *sniff sniff* You can practicly smell that this patch is gonna be good!
I remember hearing something about Valve adding VAC support for TFC and some kinda new teleporter thingie for the Engineer in the new patch. Should be interesting! FOR ME TO POOP ON!

Word is that the next major HL/TFC patch will FINALLY fix the alt-tab sound issue. How old is Half-Life? 4+ years? Time to stop milking that cash cow...
Oldie but a goodie.

Well folks, I couldn't find any decent Natural Selection servers to play on. Doh. Sooo... The good news is that I've decided to jump into the untapped NS server market and put up a NS Jigglyroom of my own! You can find it at:
64.14.241.93:27019
Enjoy!

The Deathstar is fully operational.
Upgrade is complete and HLGuard's been re-enabled (betcha didn't know it was set at 0 for the past 2 weeks :) ). Anyways, the lag spikes should be gone and everything looks solid. Woo? Correction: I mean, a "Whooooooa Bundy!"

Sorry for the long downtime. Completed most of the dirty upgrade work today including changing the motherboard, adding a new power supply, throwing in a gig of ECC DDR, reconfiguring/recompiling the kernel, throwing everything into a new rackmount case, etc. The fun will come tomorrow when the other parts such as the 2nd CPU and additional gig of memory come in :) Anyways, the downtime should be err.. maybe 15~ mins because as I said, all the pain in the ass stuff was completed today.

Sysadmin quote of the week:

Alright, server's been lagging. I'm going to do the inevitable... upgrade to dual! Please be patient with the lag spikes til I can get the funding together...

Ack! Haven't updated for such a long time~ Not much going on in the TFC scene lately... Err.. If you're bored, here's a behind-the-scenes pic of the Jigglyroom control center *cough* *cough*
FYI, Defender's anti-flood script kicks ass :)

Restored (most of) the old forum messages and accounts!!! :) :) :)
-JP
| June 28, 2002 - 5:04pm PST |
Still a few bugs to work out from the server like the frequent in-game pauses and a few broken internal links, but other than those issues, the server's running spiffy. :) Updated the "Server" link to the left and added a FAQ section. Err.. Go read it!

If you can see this, yay! Sorry, the message board isn't up yet and there are a few bugs to work out, but everything should be up and running as it was very soon~ FYI, if you've played in any of the Jigglyrooms, you may have noticed 10~ms or more shaved off your ping... Welcome to the new JR network. :)
-JP
| June 24, 2002 - 1:22pm PST |
FYI, if this website and the Jigglyroom servers all go down, it's because I'm moving them all onto one box, and onto the new network. Downtime can range from a few hours to a few days... but when it call comes back up, pings should be better ;)

| IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT |
Switching IPs for this server in a few. The new IP should be 207.155.100.38. Remember to manually input that into your browser's URL bar if you want to see this site (It'll take a while for the DNS zone, "tfc.panduck.com" to catch up). FYI, this isn't the *big* move.

Haven't updated for a while... Hmm... thought you guys might find this funny:

Quick update-
Added a new Jigglyroom to the server family! Say hello to "Jigglypuff's SHOWDOWN Jigglyroom!" Ever wanted to take out that whiner that kept on complaining and screaming that they could "beat the shit out of you if it was one on one"? Well, make them eat their words and your shit in the Showdown JR! Mmmm, Mmmm!
Jigglypuff's SHOWDOWN Jigglyroom! can be found at: 209.85.95.161:27016

ACK! Sorry for not posting the patches earlier, but here they are:
11081109.exe - Version 1108 to 1109 Upgrade
hl1109.exe - Version whatever to 1109 Full Update

The new HL patch comes out today! I'll post the client files here when they're available... (don't tell anyone though!) /Me gets all giddy

Look what Jiggly found in the mailbox this morning!: Clicky, Clicky!. See you all there :)

A 32 player JR server is now up, but on a different IP. The address is now: 209.85.95.161:27015. Spent almost my entire Friday afternoon/night setting it up from scratch... Enjoy. =)
-JP
| April 12, 2002 - 4:47pm PST |
Doh. The 32 player TFC/18 player DoD servers are no more. The box was a loaner from a Intel rep and today was its last day. Sorry for the short notice. I only found out 30 minutes before shutdown time~ *sob* I'll try to put a temporary box up this weekend and try to bring back another 32 player 2Fort JR. No guarantees.
-JP

Alright, finally decided to start regulating the "ALL 2FORT Jigglyroom." Please, send me an email if you see someone blocking doors/holding the flag/using a certain crowbar hack, etc. The admins can't always watch over 6 different servers, so client participation is always helpful. :) Oh yeah, and if you feel that you've been wrongly banned, send me an email. Yeah, I know. This contradicts the post below. But I guess cheating can sometimes be like lesbianism - "I only did it once in college... you know, to experiment. It never went beyond that..." Hmm.. well, yeah, it sort of is like lesbianism. Yeah, cheating is like it.. you know, like.. uhh.. it's like.. well, err.. SHUT UP!
Ugh. Anyone have food so that was so spicy, you had to sleep on your front?

Notice to everyone that has been banned by CSGuard (This applies to everyone that has sent/will send emails to me with lame explanations/justifications): Don't bother asking for forgiveness. You have no excuse for cheating in the first place. Have a nice life.

Attention all Jigglyroom Admins - Some changes have been made to the server. Please send me an email so I can keep you "in the know." :)

| IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT |
I didn't know when to announce this but the Jigglyroom's days are currently numbered. My last day with my Exodus/Digital Island/Cable and Wireless is June 30th. The reason is because the facility that I work at is going to be shut down and its network is going to be dismantled. All the customers at this facility are going to be moved to Exodus' state of the art Datacenter in El Segundo, Ca. Unfortunately, I nor my co-workers received transfer letters so basically what it boils down to is this: The Jigglyroom's future is uncertain, and the network will probably be dismantled long before my last day here. It also didn't help that a employee's personal server was hacked and used as a spam relay/dos reflector/etc. Because of that incident, "higher ups" learned of the employee's personal boxes and are handing down commands to have them eliminated. I'm going to try my hardest to make sure that the Jigglyroom stays up and running and that the website/message board at least stays intact... I don't want any financial contributions or anything... I just felt that I should keep you all in the loop, and I'll continue to try to look for colocation alternatives. Anyways, because the end is in sight, I've decided to try to invite all the Jigglyroom regulars to possibly come take a look at the Jigglyroom server in its natural environment (in other words, a Datacenter tour!). It's not every day that Joe gameplayer can see what a OC-12 circuit looks like when routed through a Cisco 12000 series router in a room surrounded by hundreds of servers ;) Interested? Live in/near/around Los Angeles? Drop Jiggly a letter. Sigh~ ...Will work for a game server? :P
Stay Tuned.

Added 2 servers to the Jigglyroom empire:
209.85.94.71:27025 - DOD 2.0
209.85.94.71:27020 - TFC ( 32 Player madness )
