I’m Back, Sorry for Lack of Updates

17th Apr 2008

I apologize for the lack of updates the past few weeks. I just recently updated to the new version of Wordpress, version 2.5, which is the script that runs this blog. I had a little trouble getting all of my Plugins to work at first but everything should be working okay now. The shoutbox spam is getting out of control lately so I have to find a filter that will eliminate or at least slow that down. Hopefully I can find a solution to that problem ASAP.

I’ve also had a little trouble with my computer and network lately. I purchased a new desktop PC about a week ago and just nearly finished setting that up last night. But the big problem, while getting it ready was that the router on my other computer died so I was without internet on my main PC which has all of the oldNotreDame files. However, I just bought a new router last night and now everything is working well. I’m back in business with a new, faster computer and a new, reliable wireless router.

So I will get the Daily Trivia running again and will update the site just like I had up until a few weeks ago. Everything should be running fine but if not, please contact me with any problems you might have. (Kevin@oldnotredame.com)

What have I missed? Well the Notre Dame Men’s Hockey team made it to the National Championship game, an incredible accomplishment. They lost to Boston College in the game but played very well throughout the tournament. The win over Michigan was very impressive and fun to watch.

The Blue and Gold game is this weekend and should give everyone a good look at how things are going. I’m hoping that I can find the game on TV considering I can’t be in South Bend to see it. I look forward to seeing more of how each player has made themself better from last season. Specifically, I am very curious to see how Armando Allen looks. He needs to be able to break some tackles this season if he wants the chance to use his breakaway speed.

In other news, “The Shirt 2008″ is being revealed tomorrow. I can’t wait to see what the design looks like this year and will order one right away. You can pre-order a shirt now at the Official University of Notre Dame Athletics Online Store and it will ship starting April 21st.

Once again, I apologize for the lack of updates, but things should be back to normal now. Thank you for continuing to visit the site. - Kevin
