Everything running smoothly now?2005-04-10 13:00:43

As far as we can tell, all should be fine with the new server (yes, it took a while...).

In case you find another one, please let us know.
server relocation woes (part 2)2005-03-30 16:20:56

A bug has been detected that caused all laptimes that are uploaded via GPL Replay Analyser to be attributed to a guy named Tuomas Juupaluoma. This has to do with the configuration of the new server. While we're fixing this, I've disabled the GPLRA uploads.

Till further notice, please use the "generate ini-file" option in GPLRA and upload the ini-file via the GPLRank website.

The GPLRank moved to a new location and a new server. There where serveral problems with the transition to the new box. We hope they are fixed for now - please report problems when you encounter them to the admins.
Fine example of stick shifting2005-02-28 16:07:39

A while ago the shift method "H-stick with clutch" was added, so that the 'real men' could be recognized. Now if you want examples of driving with a clutch and stick, have a look at these two video's. These have been around for a while, but there are still people that haven't seen them yet.

There where several outtakes of the network connection and the power over the weekend. After that there where some trouble with the database. This should be fixed by now and the situation should be stable.

After several days of downtime we finally managed to get GPLRank fully up and running again.
More PHP issues2004-12-25 17:30:53
Author: Ed Hut
GPLRank is currently not functioning correctly due to some issues that arose during a PHP upgrade. At the time of this writing, selecting a menu option results in the error "Unknown or unimplemented request "n""

Please watch this space for updates about the issues.
Error messages due to PHP upgrade2004-12-17 05:59:49
Author: Ed Hut
After an upgrade of the PHP version that we use for GPLRank, an error message is shown when you first access the website and select a menu option. After that first error you can just try to select the option again and everything is well (at least, as far as I know).

I think I know what is happening, but it'll take some time to fix it properly. Till then, sorry for the inconvenience.
New shift method - H-stick with clutch2004-12-12 08:45:14
Author: Ed Hut
On request of several drivers, a new value for shift-method is added: H-stick with clutch.

This value is added to differentiate drivers that do real shifting with a clutch, probably including heel-and-toe action to blip the throttle when shifting down the gears, from drivers that use a stick with automatic clutch.

I've been told that the heel-and-toe drivers prefer to be called 'men', whereas the auto-clutching drivers should be called 'boys'. Being a paddle shifter myself, I guess they would call me a baby...
