I used to live in North Virginia, with 1-2 hour commutes being common. Now check me out: 6.8 miles in about 10 minutes.

Here you’ll find a few database-driven modules that work in PHP-Nuke to help EnB guilds manage their members and equipment. They are in various stages of development, and you can see any release versions in action over at my guilds site snh-pegasus.org.
EnB_Alt
My first module, which gives your PHP-Nuke site a simple character listing so players can list all of their in-game characters and match it to their website/forum name. This helps guild leaders as well as members remember who is who in the game. Each players alternate character, or ‘alt’, can be edited once they sign into the site, and everything is tied to their PHP-Nuke ID.
EnB_GuildBank
My second module, currently in development, will help manage the guilds credit stash and item storage. The larger a guild gets, the more players that are required to create ‘guild banks’ to accept and give public items and loans to guild members. Currently there is no ingame management of this, and a notebook or scratch paper just isn’t cutting it.
EnB_Builder
Not yet in development. Builder will allow players to list on the guild web site what they can build, and allow other players to look through the guilds ‘build list’ and even request an item from someone.
Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer is so new I can’t even tell you how it compairs to hfnetchk/hotfix reporter/iis lockdown/urlscan/windows update, etc, etc; but I’ve been looking forawrd to a one-stop-shop for patch-checking all MS products on my systems, and here it is, only a day old.
