Hopefully getting them in time for Christmas.

PC, any chance you could really quickly update the second post on this thread so that people will know that Mark from CMG is giving every single donator a copy of the Revised SRD Bundle? Generosity like that needs to be broadcast to the world!

How is the Prize Distribution and Server purchase going?

Any update?

All righty. I'm sick as a dog following the con this weekend - I slept for 13 hours last night, and still feel lousy - but I'm trundling right along with prizes. Another 40 or so were assigned, with a rapidly diminishing amount still to go. Hey, if you think I don't have your address - if you used PayPal and didn't include it - you can save me time by emailing it to me at kevin AT kulp DOT org.

Adlon is feeling better and has a bunch of stuff picked out and/or ordered. A more reasonable estimate of our "go live" date is early January... the holidays are going to mess things up, obviously.

Hope you feel better.

I am in the same boat since everyone here at work is sick including me

Was not trying to push anything, but was curious how everything was going...

Especially the new server (it is the IS geek in me).

So get well, and thanks for the update as to how everything is going.

Can't wait for the new server

Nope. Don't do that. Only some folks are receiving that as a prize. I won't get into all of the details of who is getting what or why, there are many reasons, but it certainly wouldn't do to give someone a prize they have already purchased, for instance.

There are two "Be" words in that sentence to me.

Now, I know there aren't supposed to be. In fact, I know there aren't. But there should be some kind of linkie pop-up thing every time one of you (you being tech people who talk in unfinished jumble puzzles) uses an abbreviation.

Listening to folks talk parts and server details left me wanting justification for every little number and letter. "A 2200 is 13 times bigger than a 14550 with XT of HOOPTIE whazza!"

I am glad they do it, and they get very excited, but it is like visiting a Russian conference on arctic paleoarcheology...I get nothing from it.

Pssst

*slips Alsih2o a card*

IS = Information Systems

Meaning computers, servers, phones, and all that tech junk.

 

[spectre72]

We all use those abbreviations to confuse our employers for the goal of extracting more money from them since it sounds so confusing/important.

Sorry if anyone was confused but it is hard to get out of that mode when it is how everything is done each day.

And I did mean Information Systems when I uses IS.

No apology required, I see it as amusing and entertaining as well as confusing.
