Should Knowledge Be Free?
We've had this debate ad nauseum regarding music, movies, games, etc. In light of the Aaron Swartz debacle, I think it's worth talking about Piracy in the context of Science.

Sitter
I need a sitter from the 19th through the 27th... it may go a day or so beyond that as well. I hope to have most of my games paused but I'll still have between 5-8 to play. None are shorter than 24 hour phases. If anyone is available and could do this, I'll pay you in hugs and maybe a box of chocolates if you're dumb enough to give an ass like me your mailing address.

Thanks :D

Can't unpause.
Some friends and I are having some tech troubles with our game <http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=102754> in that it won't let us unpause the game. This might not be the right place for this but couldn't find it. Halp? Thanks much!

Why all the Lori Grimes hate?
I'm only through the second episode of season three of Walking Dead, but why all the Lori Grimes hate? We've all done dumb things, like drive off in a car without telling anyone and crashing into a walker, and who hasn't lost a child (a few hundred times), so beyond the obvious complaints (crashing car, losing son), why all the Lori Grimes hate?

On GM crops
"France, remember, long refused to accept the potato because it was an American import. As one commentator put it recently, Europe is on the verge of becoming a food museum. We well-fed consumers are blinded by romantic nostalgia for the traditional farming of the past. Because we have enough to eat, we can afford to indulge our aesthetic illusions."

For those of you who believe in God, or, hell, those of you who don't if you're willing, please pray for my mom. If you remember my post from a week ago, she had a brain aneurysm, and now the pressure in her brain is increasing and she is probably going to die. So please pray.

webDiplomacy 1.3
Hi all, released webDip 1.3, which actually doesn't contain any new features but makes the code easier to translate for developers. I'm deploying it here so it gets a good bug test before I release it, so please let me know if you spot anything odd or experience any errors.
(The next release will contain new features)

....and lo, they strode upon the earth, lost and aimless, and it was as if a mist was torn from their eyes. Yay, the heavenly choruses erupted in glorious symphony, but it was as a deafening roar to those that would not believe, and a blinding light did slay them. But to the believers, they saw his foot upon the earth, and did wallow in the sands of his path in worship, and he blessed them with new code...

@Nigee, the first release already happened earlier today. I'm not sure when the next one will be, it probably depends on if this first release causes any unexpected bugs/errors.

Nigee...thou art a Pagan for sure! Let thy worship be true, you demon-infested hound. Let your spittle mingle with festering whores in dark places! Thy features will be bestowed upon the faithful, and they shall be known to those whose eyes see clear, and who study the One True faith of Kestas so uncover it's mysteries to write his truths upon their hearts.

The site was running significantly slower for me, I cleared out the webdiplomacy.net cookie in my browser and cleared my cache and it's running a lot closer to normal now.

I didn't do either of those things but I'm already back up to near-normal speed as well.

There's nothing too troubling in the stats. The map cache was rebuilt from scratch, so many game images would have needed to be regenerated, that could have given a temporary hit.

Isn't that the long standing issue with not being able to clear the envelope when someone in a gunboat game is banned? Not something new. There are a couple of proposed solutions. Oli/Sleepcap did one thing on vdip and I proposed (and coded) an alternate solution. Hopefully we'll get one of the two.
