Battle-watcher was disabled over a year and a half ago. Since then website has lost almost all real users and it was interesting only for bots. Today I decided to completely shut down this project since I don’t really see any sense in hosting this website anymore.
If you’re interested in buying a battle-watcher.com domain, please contact me (with a reasonable offer :)).
Changing hosting has opened a new opportunities, among other things it became possible to use my own SSL certificate for domain. For some time I tested https on site and free certification from StartSSL. IMO tests were quite successful, and the New Year is a good time for a changes. From now https on page is forced and all traffic will be encrypted.
Unless you have a very outdated system and browser, there should be no side effects – page requires a SNI support, so if for example you are using Windows XP and IE 8, you can not be able to open it. But this is one of the less important problems what you have with this configuration. 😀
From today statistics of battles in Battle-Watcher are not updated. For a long time the service worked only partially, and I did not have time or motivation to fix it. After change of hosting the next things stopped working and I decided that it makes no sense. Service remains in read-only mode, statistics of battles and users will be not updated. I do not plan a further development and improvements, so you can consider that it is the end of the Battle-Watcher.
Finally I found time and motivation to refresh my home page. I planned this for 2 years, but only when I finally got a few days of vacation I get motivated to do it.
This time I decided to do it completely differently than the last time. Instead of using fancy stock theme, I created a my own theme adapted for my needs. It might not be as pretty as predefined themes, but it should be more practical to maintain and make adding new content easier. The main change is more bloggy nature – a previous idea of the home page and portfolio looked nice and seemed to be quite clever, but it makes the adding of new content very difficult and annoying. I hope that the portfolio as posts with the informations about my current activities will be more convenient and revive a little blog. In addition, I added two new taxonomies: projects and tools – it makes me easier to categorize posts and generate interesting summaries, such as those visible in the sidebar. Read more
