It's been a while since we've done anything new on our Character Select Screen and currently, you'll notice that it is extremely plain: A set of buttons describing the name and weapon of the character without any visuals or extra info. Hence in Part 24, we'll be adding proper character icons, a description box, and a stats section so players know the exact stats of the character they'll be selecting.

Adding virtual hosts on Bitnami Apache
Over the weekend, I’ve spent a substantial chunk of time figuring out how to add a virtual host onto a client’s subdomain. In laymen’s terms, this means that:
