As of yesterday, I added an image to the right sidebar that displays the last time the build was updated. This image is dynamic and is part of the update script, so it will always be accurate.
I noticed that my build has been freezing a lot the past few days. I'm using a build from yesterday, but regardless, it's froze quite a lot, such as when listening to music or recording stuff. Someone also said that some of the games are freezing up when exiting, which I confirmed. I'm hoping to look into the issues soon.
In addition to all of that, someone found my personal email address, and is spamming me. The emails are coming from various email address, but the X-Original-To header is the same for all of them - [removed]@babs.ca. [removed]@babs.ca is autoforwarding to my address, so I'm starting to think that someone I know gave my email out. babs.ca is Dreamhost hosted, like this domain, so I emailed Support about it.
Also, according to the Google Summer of Code timeline, on August 20, "Students upload code to code.google.com/hosting; mentors begin final evaluations; students begin final program evaluations". Based on that, I have a feeling that we should have USB support within the next week or two. While I haven't managed to test it, austriancoder has made quite a bit of progress on the USB software stack, though sending does not work. When I tested the patch as of yesterday, I got a data abort, though I may try again soon.

USB support in a week or two sounds awesome Jack!
I can (hopefully) say goodbye to the OF refreshing database annoyance.
The last update is a really good idea as well.

Yeah, after I accidentally started a forkbomb on the server testing it xD I still can't figure out what caused it, but basically, when testing it, it created a process infinitely until they were all killed. At one point I think I got around 900 processes before I noticed it (and I noticed within about 30 seconds...)
At least now it's steady.
