the factory forum

The factory forum is more or less functional.  If you log into the factory4 web site or the factory4 forum, you’re automatically logged into both.

It doesn’t look like the factory4 website just yet, but we’ll get to that eventually…  so,so,so much to do!

Random Blogs

On the factory4 home page there should be a little dice icon.  Click on it, and you will be transported to a random blog at factory4.  Of course, there ain’t much randomness yet.

Featured Blogs

The home page has a short excerpt from the lastest post of one of the factory4 blogs. (look for it in the 2nd column, under the dice)  It’s not quite what we need it to do yet, but it’s one more thing on the “to do” list

Facebook

Not here yet.

A featured request,  but I’m not exactly sure what we want it to do.  Probably because I don’t really use facebook that much, and don’t understand the fascination.

Maybe someone who is a faithful facebook follower (how’s that for alliteration) can tell me how they think it should be tied in.

this is a video from you tube

We really need to find a way to upload and insert video files easily.  It can be done in a backward geeky way, but most people don’t want to be bothered looking for the file, or typing in a long file name.

The other day there was something on the news about a new ring on Saturn, that is 8 million miles away from the planet and about 2 million miles wide.

You can’t find a real picture, because the ring is really only dust particles, and not very dense, so it’s always a computer enhanced image.

Here’s the old familiar rings

So, much to my surprise, the factory4 website had gone white sometime over the last couple of days.  I’m not sure what caused it – perhaps it was some bad coding, or maybe a hacker got in somehow.

In any event, I decided that it was time to move the test site up to its next level, and see how it works.

We’re still not accepting any new registrations, since the site is in test mode.

But we are getting closer
