Hi all,
Gil Galad Studios, in conjunction with Org Du Lac Media are going to be joining forces soon. Gil requested permissions to some of Org’s tables, and after some drink and some relaxing mood music (and an email from Org explicitly granting Gil Galad access to the Bestiary), I edited what I thought were the permissions for the specific database in my mySQL instance. What they really were where global permissions. I am not used to mySQL instances set up where a user can only have a global set of permissions, so I didn't notice when I made the change on Friday. So, instead of granting Gil Galad just read access to Orgs DB, I ended up removing permissions to edit his own DB. What this means is that users of his site were unable to update their stats. He messaged me earlier this morning and I fixed my error as soon as I saw it (about 15 minutes ago). I have to take the full wrap on this one. Thankfully a fix was just as fast as the mistake I made. So, please do not blame Gil for what was clearly (my) Operator Error.
The outcome is: (1) I know a bit more about how my hosting provider sets things up, and (2) soon Gil will have some seriously cool features at http://studies.clanlord.net thanks to doing things in RL how we do things in CL: Teamwork. (Right now Gil’s splash screen about the error might amuse anyone except for Gil himself.)
Thanks.
