INDY Media - A place for all things media

Well, here it is... INDY Media. Due to popular demand, I have thrown together a location for game and media related activities, content, and news. This began as an idea from a friend for a easily accessible location for narratives of our Dungeons and Dragons RPG sessions, but quickly expanded into a full fledged stand-alone blog for all things media related from INDY. (Thanks to Google's Blogger, this was not a difficult process.)

I will be populating the blog portion of this new location as quickly as possible, beginning with the narrative for last Sunday's Dungeons and Dragons session. Eventually, you will also find reviews of games and movies, and updates of my progress with the other Indiana Jones games' walkthroughs here as well.

Keep an eye on the labels area! As things build in here it may quickly become the easy way to find the content you are looking for. Good luck to you and hopefully some for me too as I attempt to keep yet another thing updated.

INDY.CC Updates: Weather and more preferences

I really need to get back on track with updated blog entries on a regular basis. I apologize for how useless my blog has become for what it is supposed to be: a place for updates about the INDY.CC websites. I will attempt to restart after my blogging stall today....

I recently made some updates to some of the INDY.CC member's areas. First, I added a few new preferences to your profile (e.g. pressure, volume, and more date selections). I also added a "Favorite Weather Underground Station ID", allowing members to set a favored station to receive weather information from.

I then used those new features to update both the My INDY page with a Weather graph display and the Trip Tracker with automatic lookup of same day ambient temperature. This means that you can now use a specified Weather Underground Station ID and the Time of Day of your trip to automatically enter the ambient temperature during that trip. If I find that these features are a bit confusing to use or understand, I'll post more information on them here in the future.

Now for a bit of a help request.... I'd very much like to add more non-member features to INDY and other associated sites. If you have any ideas or suggestions about what you would like to see, please let me know.
