Moving
August 28th, 2008
All our servers will be shutting down on Saturday, August 30th. I will try to get them back up on Sunday, but it might take until Monday to be back online.

Cuotl Offline
March 13th, 2008
I’ve been having technical issues with my main laptop for a month or so and recently learned it is the result of overheating. I’ve decided to regularly turn off the computer when I am not using it (*gasp* I must be insane!). This is hopefully temporary until I can come up with a good air flow solution, but in the meantime it means my Windows HFS server will be offline during much of the weekday hours as well as during the night. I apologize for the inconvenience this may cause. Please be sure to notify me if you want to access the server and have trouble doing so during the evening when I am not at work – I probably forgot to turn it on.
Again, this is regarding the Cuotl File Server. My Linux server that this site, the forums, and member sites are hosted on is unaffected.
Thank you for your understanding,

Of WordPress and RPG’s
February 14th, 2008
Hey all,
It has been awefully quiet at BluHelix, and I appologize. Lots and lots of things have been creeping into my to-do list but only a handfull of things are actually progressing at the moment.
Among the changes I’m tossing around are a number of site upgrades, including a overhall of the sub-domain mechanics (consolidation and streamlining, with a possible extension to allow users to access their own settings!), as well as, duh duh duh, WordPress integration. Ben at http://benford.bluhelix.com/ has successfully deployed a WordPress engine already on the Czin server and I have been considering doing the same. This would do away with the sometimes clunky forum integration and ease the transition to phpBB3. I’m not sure if there would be any historical postings. Perhaps there will. Anyway this might be a long ways off, but it’s something on the list.
Also on the list – Kevin has given me a copy of RPG Maker XP that is Vista compatible! The question is: Resurrect my current project or start anew. It’s a question I’m continuously debating and would like to hear feedback on. My former project made the increadible milestone of 50% maps complete (which is not to be confused with 50% complete). Any thoughts? If this spurs interest I might post the old projects page on this from last year. Currently, only the screen shots are accessible.
Welcome to our new design
January 30th, 2008
Welcome back. The BCIS server is back online so our address is back to normal. There are a few minor glitches that need sorting but overall things are going very well.
The first thing you will probably notice is that BluHelix Studios has received a face lift. I hope everyone enjoys our new look and expect to see more features added as time goes on.
As mentioned earlier, the calendar has been axed. However I am working on a Google integration so it might just be resurrected.
Expected “hard to reach” time
December 12th, 2007
Our server is not going down – but the Internet-accessed one at the Berglund Center will be shortly. They are currently in the process of moving to their new office across campus. We at BluHelix Studios wish them good luck on the move.
There were some technical difficulties in configuring the mirror server to seamlessly work with the reverse proxy. The server is located off site and uses a different OS than the main one so it was bound to happen. The administrator has setup a redirect to our main page so at least you should be able to find us. Do expect some frustration using our login feature as it will send you on a redirect journey likely to a non-existing location. Just re-access our site and hit refresh and you should be logged in.
We apologize for any inconvenience. We expect the server to be back in operation sometime next week. However, the holidays may delay this.
