    I'm happy to report that I've finished checking through ALL the Neverwinter Nights content tables earlier this week already. As with the other sections I've converted with chevalier's invaluable assistance, the differences you will notice now are the author credits next to the titles of all downloadable content hosted on SP, external downloads & links marked for convenience, the tables stretching as needed, as well as having a unified look. The pages will also load much faster now because all the table formatting is done via CSS.

    This only leaves us with the behemoth Baldur's Gate 2 subsection still waiting to be converted at chevalier's convenience. Hopefully that one will also be done before long.

    I'm also planning on making another site update before next week's SPH, as I've received a few excellent content submissions that must go up as soon as possible. You'll see what I mean once they go up. ;)

    By the way, you've probably heard by now that hurricane Rita is projected to hit the Houston, Texas area in the next couple of days. While normally hurricanes are not a matter of significance when it comes to the online world, all servers that host your favourite websites exist physically somewhere... and as (bad) luck would have it, our primary one is located in Houston. This means that if it comes to a disruption of service for any reason, SP and all our hosted sites will go down until the situation normalizes. Still, I have faith in our server provider since they're well equipped to deal with all kinds of emergencies, even hurricanes. But things could go bad on other ends of Houston, causing disruptions that could affect our availability, so if the worst case scenario comes true, you can count on it that we'll bounce back as soon as the situation permits.

    Regardless of the site's availability, our chatrooms will still be accessible via any standalone IRC clients, so you might want to check out these connection instructions and make sure you're able to access the chatrooms now in case you'll need to at any point later on. Wish us and everyone else based in the hurricane-vulnerable areas luck...

    Oh well, if things get that bad that the servers go down, then we should all be thanking our lucky stars that we're better off than the people who are actually there.

    Hmm, I wish I could think of something useful to submit to the game section of SP, but I can't think of anything good to do. I'd like to do some sort of NWN character guide, but there are no specific character builds with which I am knowledgeable enough. Oh well, one day.
