[Fionavar]

FYI: I have revamped the thread. The single post was pushing the word count envelope, so I made a major structure overhaul.

 

[Fionavar]

Update: The Software/Utilities sections are now accompanied by a description of the various resources in order to improve accessibility. I hope this proves useful 🙂

 

[Fionavar]

Update: I have merged the previous thread of articles with The Tech Files. They can now be found under the Words section. Again I hope this is of assistance.

 

[Fionavar]

Just a quick update. For those of you have noticed that The Tech Files have been down for the last few days, they are now back up 😉 Also, I have decided to remove the Words section for ease of upkeep and maintenance.

Please do not take anything I am saying amiss... I am a mere forum participant here...

First of all welcome to OSNN...

Second you could give us some idea of what we will find when we go to your links - might get more hits that way, it confused me because it is not your site directly. I am sure the links are pretty useful, but IMHO they cover many arenas - maybe primarily gaming oriented? This I say so others have an idea...

Lastly - since you are welcome here why not think about posting on another thread sometime?

Just a thought....

 

[Fionavar]

Not a bad idea and if I had more time in my day I probably would post more here 😉 But I do surf to OSNN everyday as part of myr routine and this is one way I thought I could give back ...

 

[unknownsoul]

i will say that your're doing a fine job, but it might be easier to post those here if they'll let ya.

 

[Fionavar]

Yeah I thought of that too ... but again that would mean I would have to maintain the list in two spots ... something that I really do not have time for ... so this seems simplest. Update after anything major and hope people continue to use it 😉

 

[Fionavar]

I have updated the original post of this thread in order to present the latest version of the Table of Content for the list.

 

[Vetrius]

Is it not against the rules to advertise for a diff forum? Can't remember if I read that here, or another forum

 

[Fionavar]

Well I would hope that this is not seen as advertising for another forum. The list is a centralised collection of software/patches/utilities/drivers to mention only a few that I have maintained and do so on a regular basis for the benefit of others. If it is seen as advertising, I guess I would have to respect that decision, but my intent is to share, not solicit.

 

[Vetrius]

hmmm... doesn't this siter kinda do that? or related partners? not sure.... I got 3 diff forums to keep track of in my head, 1 dead

From the link I thought it was a S&M site, was looking forward to a right good spanking, but, found something more interesting, links to yet more software, thanks 🙂

 

[Fionavar]

@ Vetrius: Yes this site does do that for other things. I have a relationship, however, with that site and the people there that goes back sometime, as it is with that community that the list developed as I modded for several gaming companies. I did not arrive here - before OSSN was OSSN - until after that, so I have a sense of duty in that regard. But since OSSN here has done so much for me in regard to my professional stuff, I thought this was one way to share my own resource with the members here.



@ Lee ... hehe well you gots ta get them to stay long enough to realise there are actually resources there to use 😉 And thanks too 😀

 

[Fionavar]

Update: The host for the Tech Files has migrated to vBulletin, hence the update of the Table of Contents above 😉

 

[Fionavar]

Update: The Table of Content for The Tech Files has been updated to reflect the final removal of the old phpBB links.

 

[Fionavar]

Update: The Table of Contents has been refreshed to reflect the further division of the Strategy sections.

 

[Tittles]

ummm...so do u only post when there r updates for whatever this thread is about?

 

[Fionavar]

As I have mentioned in this thread, this is a resource thread that I have maintained through various manifestations over the last 4-5 years. Since I make use of OSNN as part of my daily work, this is one way that I try to give back to the site.
