This must be possible but i dont know how.. by Jhrono on 01-31-2005 at 03:24 PM

Like i was thinking...(has some of you may know i've been hosting a Thug2 Server) and i have to be updating when it's online or not...like it'd be cool to have like a program(simple prog) that i could put the status of the server and the hour it would close (and etc) and then it'd send that info to [something in the web] and i'd do a signature and the server status'd appear there...(i know it has alot of and's :P)...can anyone help me?

Place the server status in a Weblog (http://www.blogger.com is the one I use), then go to http://www.messagecast.net/ and get an MSN Alerts account linked to the blog's XML feed.

Then all you'd need to do is post on the blog, and people's Messengers will let them know.

nice idea race but i was looking for something different;)...but if no one comes up with another thing i'll do it that way..thanks;)

Edit : Ok now i'm thinking of something big...like a prog like this(to do the feature in my first post..)
Example Window :

What ip / port does the server run on? I'll set you up a script...

I'll send my ip by PM so there's no danger...
