Powderworks News

This website has been an ongoing project for several years now. This current incarnation is (as described on the home page) my test bed and my online "status" for my friends and family that are too far away for the usual "what's happening" conversations. Here I try out things that I would like to add to my website projects.

cotwI have added a new feature to the arcade - a contest of the week! Each Monday of the week a new game will be selected at random and the game's scores will be cleared so everyone will have a fresh, fair start. The contest will run through the next Saturday, ending at midnight GMT -6 or US Central time.

When the contest ends, the winner will receive 100pts and the Contest of the Week medal. The score will be archved and available for all to see in the COTW Archive listing!

You can find a link to the featured game as well as a listing of the current high scores on the Site Home page and at the top of the Fun and Games Home page.

Website Changes for 2010

E-mail Print PDF
thumb_pw-logo2010 will mark a fundamental change for Powderworks.net. Foremost is a change in direction for the site content and focus. For years, Powderworks.net has been a personal website for the owner - Andy. The subject matter of the site has been an evolution of sorts. More about this can be found on the About Us page. However, beginning this year, the focus of Powderworks.net has changed to a tech enthusiast community and with it a complete overhaul of the site from the ground up.

E-mail Print PDF
New Powderworks Chat! I removed the shoutbox module that was the original Powderworks Chat! and replaced it with a dedicated chat application. The new Powderworks Chat! has multiple chat rooms, the ability to chat privately with someone, emoticons and more. It is available either under the Fun and Games menu or below the Who's Online list at the top of the page for users who are logged in.
