Haven Awards have returned E-mail
Written by Bren   
Monday, 01 February 2010

When the site was hacked by the forces of evil last year, we had to remove several modules due to their vulnerability to future attacks. One of them was our awards module. Since we keep handing out awards and haven’t had anywhere to put them, we’ve developed a temporary fix. Awards are now being posted in each member’s respective profiles in the comments section towards the bottom of the page. This is a labor-intensive process and there’s still a ways to go, but we’re almost there. If there an award you’ve had in the past, it’s in your folder so go check it out and enjoy it again!

 
State of the Haven 2009 E-mail
Written by Rachel   
Saturday, 03 October 2009

Well, another year has passed and the Haven is stronger than ever!

This year, we combated  an attack by hackers quickly and efficiently, having the site back online within 36 hours of the initial attack. We rolled out custom software to make Caption Trading and Links Navigation simpler and more user friendly thanks to Bren, Dementia, and Courtney. We saw the beginning of a new baby in Cassandra's Coliseum and a continuation of the Save the Work Project that included the work of Donnie, to which we are currently the only site I'm aware of authorized to post his entire collection.

Several improvements for the site are currently under development, most of which will replace software I only ever tolerated. As the work is still ongoing, I'll only state now that these projects will only make the site more user friendly, more stable, and less likely to be hacked.

The following are the site statistics as of 1 pm PDT on October 2, 2009:

Announcing Haven Links 2.0 E-mail
Written by Rachel   
Wednesday, 19 August 2009

Due to our recent hacking, We've pushed up the release on an upgrade we had in development the last few months. Butwho could describe it better than the lead developer herself, Dementia?

"  ... simple to use and understand (I thought) ... minimalistiic (which is what i like).... "

Or how about our programming leader, Courtney?

" ... it is an extensible and dynamic link application that can expand and adapt as the need arises...  and it's one of Dee's crowning acheievments.... "

So have a look at our brand new toy as we upgrade and restore an old feature with a little new flair! You'll find it listed under 'Links' on the menu!

 

 

 
Rachel's Toolbox 2.0 E-mail
Written by Bren   
Monday, 10 August 2009

After months of work from several Haven members, Rachel's Toolbox has gotten a major face lift. Many of you recall the first version she put together. It was just some basics for GIMP and Paintbrush, but it gave many of us a start and a creative outlet. The new toolbox features tutorials on how to use Aviary, Comic Life, Gimp V2.1, Gimp v2.6, Paintbrush, Paint.net, Photoshop, and Power Point.

Check it out with the link in the main menu!

Everyone on the planet can now find some way to make a caption. Some of these programs are freeware so you could start making yourself a captioned picture right now! A very special thanks goes out to the following for their contributions to making this a success. Thank you all very much for the time and effort you put into this.

Courtney, Jackie Blue, Zakiszak, Steffie, Josie Chung, Dementia, and naturally the one who made this all possible, Rachel.
