CS:S Server and Psychostats + Dissertation

2 weeks gone and i’m still running around at 200mph. In summary, I have:
1. Handed in my completed dissertation
2. Presented my findings in a presentation
3. Presented to the BBC on a bluetooth network
4. Received results back from my assignments – averaging 74% to date :)
5. Continued to work 20 hours a week and…
6. Deploy a CS:S Server along with Psychostats server and plugins.

All this occured alongside the deployment of my server and file server into Windows Server 2008 – I am now using active directory based authentication for my file shares which is nice and simples – i will miss Linux however – IIS is hard.

I installed CS:Source dedicated server which was simple, but tying Psychostats into it took me and matt around 4 hours to get working due to problems with PERL, Apache, SQL, etc not very simple to do (Be Warned!).
A lot of PHP editing and .ini config editing and we now have a 32 man CS:S server running Man Admin Plugin, DeathMatch and SourceMod plugins meaning we get lots of playing in beetween revision woop.

Aside from CS:Source i’ve began revision for my 2 exams (MPLS, QoS, BGP4 to give a brief overview of the fun ahead!).
Wish me luck.
Sam.
