It still feels like yesterday, seeing TheAvatar taking a big step in his career by switching jobs, not sure where the new opportunity would bring him.

I guess it's safe to say that he ended up great with his new job as a network/datacenter technician (hey, at least he didn't break THAT much), and at the same time managed to make some time available for us, NordicBots, and his own company, EuShells.

TheAvatar, you're a great person and it has been great working with you for yet another year. I honestly hope we can continue doing that for a long long time. I also really hope, heck I'm pretty confident, that this new project of yours will turn out great and it has been a pleasure assisting you with that project.





Have a great birthday!

From me and the others at NordicBots!




Disclaimer: As some of you may have noticed the frequency for the 'Happy Birthday' posts for TheAvatar has been somewhat irregular. Some may even say it appears to look like a ritual to forget about TheAvatar's birthday every year or so.

Nevertheless we do wish TheAvatar a happy birthday, even if we forget about it completely. That goes for everyone by the way.

dusti just turned 24 today, so he can add yet another year to his list of birthdays as a NordicBots staff member.
We wish you all the best and hope you had a nice day so far.

All the best from your friends at NordicBots. ]]> Sun, 18 Apr 2010 19:50:49 +0200 TheAvatar@noreply.nordicbots.com (TheAvatar) http://www.nordicbots.com/news/rss.php/129/ Happy Birthday Petyyy http://www.nordicbots.com/news/rss.php/128/ http://www.nordicbots.com/news/rss.php/128/
We hope you have a great time and have enjoyed yet another year that has passed.

All the best from all of us. ]]> Fri, 09 Apr 2010 14:22:14 +0200 TheAvatar@noreply.nordicbots.com (TheAvatar) http://www.nordicbots.com/news/rss.php/128/ New channel settings: Protect your privacy http://www.nordicbots.com/news/rss.php/126/ http://www.nordicbots.com/news/rss.php/126/
We had already introduced the 'hidelogs' channel setting that made sure that the logs page was not accessible, the downside to this is that the logs page is then not accessible by anyone, not even you as the channel owner. We also received signals that some of our users would want to hide information from the channel information page and stats pages.

To combat these issues we have introduced three new channel settings:


Where [level] is a channel level, defaulting to 'Friend' if not specified.

As you can probably tell from their names and descriptions these channel settings allow you to restrict access to these pages so that only users that have the specified level on your channel can see it.

Say you'd want to make sure that only users with the Master level or higher can view the channel info page then you'd write:

/msg |NordicBots| chanset #yourchannel +restrictchaninfo master

Then when visiting the channel information page the user will be greeted by a login screen asking them to login or register on the website.

After logging in the site checks if the user has linked their QuakeNet account to their NordicBots account already. They will be asked to do that now if they haven't yet done so.

Once they have done that, or if they had already linked their account, they will be given access to the page if they have sufficient access on the channel, else they will be shown a page explaining why they don't have access.

Guess that's about it. Please go and try it out and report any issues you might have. ]]> Mon, 22 Feb 2010 16:58:27 +0100 soczol@noreply.nordicbots.com (soczol) http://www.nordicbots.com/news/rss.php/126/ Happy Birthday h3ll! http://www.nordicbots.com/news/rss.php/125/ http://www.nordicbots.com/news/rss.php/125/

Please keep in mind that we (the NordicBots) staff actually have lives besides IRC (yes, we actually do, even though it may not seem like it), and that getting help, getting requests accepted etc. may take longer than it usually does seeing as it's Christmas holidays..
Hope you've all been good this year, and that Santa brings you what you wished for! =-)

Today another member of the staff adds a year to their age, Phoenix turns 25 years old! You can all stop reading this right now, open your IRC and do /msg Phoenix_the_II Happy birthday! :D

The Nordicbots staff and I wish you much happiness and fun on your birthday, have a wonderful day!

Yes, yes, the Nordicbots staff is lazy and forgot all about poor kayjay's 23rd birthday. (chances are, he's busy with his baby son, though :))

Mini-M3` turns 31 today! (See, soczol? HE isn't complaining about his age :D) he also has his kids to look after (a two year old and a five year old :D) so both the daddies celebrate their birthdays around the same time!

The NordicBots staff wish you both a happy and wonderful birthday with presents and cake ]]> Sun, 25 Oct 2009 21:29:37 +0100 segumisama@noreply.nordicbots.com (segumisama) http://www.nordicbots.com/news/rss.php/122/ Happy birthday X-LP & shitbreak! http://www.nordicbots.com/news/rss.php/121/ http://www.nordicbots.com/news/rss.php/121/
And so, happy twenty first birthday to shitbreak as well as X-LP, the two newer staff members of the service.

shitbreak and X-LP are queue workers, meaning, they accept/reject channels, shitbreak is the newest staff member to the service, joining just a few months ago. X-LP's been around a bit longer than that, around two years or so, but they're both invaluable to the team, because *some* of the qws are downright lazy... (not mentioning any names...)

But you can't expect X-LP to be active today, because well, today IS his birthday. Not just his birthday, but his twenty first birthday. that means the only thing he can't do in the U.S. is rent a car (Yeah, I know, the US is crazy) and even though he doesn't drink, I'm sure he'll be out partying and having cake and ice cream and stuff!

(I'm sure shitbreak went out, got drunk, and partied so hard he threw up in a bush, and went and partied some more, too :D)

Happy (late) birthday to you both, hope you guys have (had) a great day!
