DNA/HHGG Infocom Adventure

DNA/HHGG Infocom Adventure
This is cool! I was thinking about digging out my old copy of the Infocom HHGTTG game, and I discover a link (through Slashdot's comments) to an online Java version! Now I don't have to dig out a 5 1/4" disk drive to play!

Blogger

I've been playing with Blogger a bit, and it looks like I may find what I've been looking for. It looks like, with the proper tweeking, it will allow me to do exactly what I want to do with my site. We'll see :)

Welcome (original Blogger edition)

Welcome to my Blog. I'm considering using Blogger to completely maintain my website. I haven't decided yet. If not, my regular page can be found here.

Welcome (phpBB version)

Greetings, and welcome to Nitemare Cafe! You may be asking yourself, "What is Nitemare Cafe?" Well, the answer is simple. Nitemare Cafe is the BBS that I ran for several years. Well, I've decided that it's time to bring it back! While it originally ran under WWIV as a dial-up BBS, it currently runs under phpBB2 as a web-based BBS. Why? Because I don't have time to get all of the quirks worked out to allow telnet (or even java) access to WWIV. Also, the community behind phpBB reminds me very much of the old WWIV community. Source code is available, thus there is an active modding community very similar to my WWIV days. I may eventually find myself with time to work on WWIV, but until then phpBB2 is an excellent replacement.

phpBB (again)

I think I've made the decision to use just phpBB for my site. I'll probably wrap some other stuff around it, but I can't see a point in having one location for news, with comments, and a separate where users can post. Seems kinda counter-intuitive to me. So, with some additional work, Nitemare Cafe will be ready.

phpBB

I've got some real forums available via phpBB at www.nitemarecafe.com/phpBB2/. I'm probably going to be installing either PHPnuke, PostNuke, or SlashCode soon, but it could be that phpBB, along with some custom coding, is what I really want to go with. I'm just not sure yet. Anyone have any thoughts?
