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

Who said what now?

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

Pfftt.... in this neck of the woods it's the managers that have the upper hand in confusing jargon. We've been fed a consistent (yet strangely unsatisfying) high levels of corporate speak BS (no, I will NOT expand that one out, you'll just have to guess ) which they claim justifies their bonuses while us peons at best get no raises and pehaps even demoted/pay cuts.

Yea, verily. TOXIC levels of methane producing stuff!

Some people haven't replied to the email that I have sent. It may be that they were eaten by spam filters or that I don't have your email or any number of reasons. Please email me if you should be on the list of donators but haven't received an email from me.

I hope you know how to make that email address work.


(No. Please don't post it here to prove how clever you are...)

Thanks, Mark!

Okay, I'm back on track. I'll have the last of the prizes assigned tonight before I go to bed, and I'll notify publishers tomorrow. To save time, I'm going to give the publishers/prize distributors the email addresses in those cases where I don't have addresses. (Thanks to those folks who emailed me there's, incidentally!)

For the most part, prizes will remain anonymous. There are a few cases where this isn't the case (Phil Reed's pdf, for instance), and people are welcome to cheer all they want when they hear from me.

On a tech side - I have verbal confirmation that guardian angels are giving us the Gateway, but we haven't received it yet; I just left a voice mail checking on timing. Adlon is back on his feet and finishing the buy list. We've upgraded the card we intend to use, in order to get maximum benefit out of the fast drives and processors.

This may be a stupid question but if we purchased a Community Supporter Account do you have our addresses already?

 

[Piratecat]

Nope, I don't; all that stuff goes to Morrus. Good question, though!

I'm ready . . . if my hand falls off while I write this I'm gonna have to get a new one. Any ideas where to look for a hand?

In that case, I just sent a PM with my addy.
