DOL = “Dawn of Light” and it is a community driven, open-source Dark Age of Camelot server emulator that is coded in C# and has been a ‘work in progress’ for about a decade or more. Most of the information in this guide has been compiled from innumerable sources found on the Official DOLserver Forums. I’m writing this up-to-date guide because most of the ‘official’ documentation on DOLserver is outdated and I’m tired of trying to piece together information that is scattered willy nilly across a multitude of forums through … Continue reading

It’s been a very busy year since September when I started my new job at a local high school.

But when it finally came out, it was missing a … Continue reading
Here’s a cool article I just read this morning. I tried to post a reply there, but it wouldn’t let me, so I’ll just post my views over here. I’m just starting a total re-do at a local college website and this article along with the comments have really provided some food for thought.

What’s needed are independent views like this one. My favorites from the article and comments … Continue reading
