The Fairy Garden - HUGE Update!!

As of...two days ago, we finally activated DSL at our house. With this news in mind, I've decided to try and make the Fairy Garden live 24/7! No more of these third-party hosting services that never work and take days to figure out...I've got this one set up already and running! And on the old address to: fairygarden.no-ip.org:3349

And just today I created a forum based on the free phpBB software. THAT is located at http://fairygarden.no-ip.org/forums/.

Anyway, hopefully I can keep developing it a little more now that it's up, and of course, hopefully I'll have more people asking in or just popping in....

Websites Websites Websites

I love websites. I love how they don't work sometimes and you have to find backups!

So I've been trying to get my fairy garden thing together. But my free host keeps shutting off..like...they run out of money to keep it online, so they just turn the server off or something. Therefore I have kind of switched over fully to my backup system. It'll be easier to maintain anyway.

And on top of THAT, I can create a better fully-featured website to provide an information portal.

The information for the new server is:

HTTP: http://fairygarden.no-ip.org
Telnet: fairygarden.no-ip.org
Port: 3349

It will not be on every day all day for a number of reasons, but if it is on, everything will be available to you.

Fairy Garden Info

For those of you who have access (manually created account) at the Fairy Garden, here is the Telnet connection information:

Address - fairygarden.mcp-server.com
Port - 3349

I prefer MUSHClient for a manual client. It's VERY lightweight initially but can be expanded to a super-bogged down system if you so desire. Mushclient Download

Setting up MUSHClient: File>New World and No to 'Load from another world.' Go into File>World Properties once the black world window is created and select the IP Address choice on the left-hand list. Type the above address and port into their respective boxes and then select the Connecting selection in the left-hand list. If you wish to auto-connect, you will type in your username and password (which I give you myself) and then make sure you select MUSH/MOO (CONNECT name password) in the Connect dropdown. You can now OK out and click the connect button which is....the third button from the left on the World Toolbar. The menu alternatives for connecting are Connection>Connect or Crtl-K.

Remind me if I don't do this, but I'll get connection details in for ZMUD also if you need them.
