Lots of work behind the Scenes recently

Friday, March 27th, 2009

There have been quite a few changes behind the scenes recently, mostly to facilitate two things:

1. Some folks were oddly enough using the signatures on porn sites. Unfortunately, every time a sig is displayed I link to the display location. XBL messages were sent to request the use of the sigs there to be discontinued. And 1 week later, code and the ability to modify the sig was put in place. Use the sig on porn sites and you will be embarresed.

2. Is the most exciting, I’ve begun gathering achievements from xbox live for games. You’ll start seeing these displayed as time allows me to grab them. For now, I’m working on new games and grabing older games as time allows— oldest to newest.

There have been other minor changes to facilitate crawling of google along with some SEO optimizations as well as the purchase of a better domain name to more closely resemble what the site is evolving into… more than just gamer signatures.

Genre updates @360Voice = Work for us XML samurai’s — not anymore!

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009

I finally got around to updating the code to recognize the Genre updates at 360Voice for the List of Games… what a pain. So I put in a little effort and the next Genre Update at 360Voice should be Automatic. So we won’t have to wait on me to update the site, it’ll update when the games at 360voice get updated.

Plus, a side benefit of this is that genre changes (when a game gets moved from one to the other) get updated too! This is a big benefit because I’ve been adding games not in a genre to genres where I thought they should go. Now 360Voice’s Genre’s will override that.

As an additional Side benefit… when new DLC becomes available and the Total Achievements or Total Gamer Score changes it will update as well.

The Final update was a couple of our own genres… like:

Enjoy!
