Pumpin'!, Listing Admin
Another day in the life of being a terrible script creator (and script hoarder, but whatevs): the Scripts and Articles pages have been revamped, with most of their content moved around in a fit of my OCD. Also, it was overdue, and now I can be a nerd with all my scripts categorised. :D
It took me a long time to come up with a way to say, "OH HAI I HATE MY OWN SCRIPT, LET'S PRETEND THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN", but I've often played around with the idea of letting Listing Admin go (of course, this would be with support + bugfixes). It's quickly spiraled from something fun and hip (for me, as a nerd, to create, to manage, and to code) to something morbid that I put off for ages, because I didn't want to deal with it. While it's made me feel all gooey and fluffy inside to know I've made people happy, the process of managing Listing Admin for other people is no longer making me happy.
I never thought I'd feel that way about something I created with my own two hands (figuratively, anyway!), something that means the absolute world to me, and I hate that. I hate that feeling, I hate it so much, because once my toe has been stepped into something, I'm there for life and I'm not backing the fuck down. It took me ages to to come up with a solution to something that I felt was hopeless, because I was feeling so despondent of Listing Admin, who still is and always will be my baby. It was only until recently (AKA THIS WEEK) that I entertained the idea of putting Listing Admin back under the 'member' status again, so it's not available to everyone who registers.
So, hello 2012, year of hopefully better things: Listing Admin is back to only being available to those with a 'member' status. If you're using Listing Admin and have a 'reader' status, you can comment on this post and I'll change it over in a jiffy. Any new registers from tonight, 8PM EST forward will be upgraded at my discretion, and with a very loud disclaimer of "IF YOU DOWNLOAD, YOU WILL CRY. TEARS OF BLOOD.".
Still in Listing Admin's corner, I'm listing some key things below for you guys before I release a bugfix this weekend. I posted some of these things to Pumpin'!'s Twitter » (which I update rarely, but it's still worth it to follow if you want to see me bumble after myself all the time), but some are new. Try them before e-mailing/commenting, and if they don't work, I'll send you over a quick bugfix via e-mail. :D
And before I run down a lit of million and one files — and because I didn't mention it before — a huge shoutout to Mayumi » and Saya », who were instrumental in getting Listing Admin 2.3 Alpha up and running. They were — unintentionally, I might add! — the best fucking beta testers for Listing Admin 2.3 Beta, and I owe them my first born sons, because they rock so fucking much. Hella: HELLA.
If you're still experiencing errors and need them fixed ASAP — especially if you're avoiding the Troubles lists at TFL and TAFL — shoot me an e-mail, and I'll get back on the fly.
