SE told me earlier today that he wouldn't be posting until he felt like it. Now that he's left work for the day, it looks like he won't feel like it at least until Monday. If we're very very lucky.

If we're even luckier, Skar or Spriggan or Fell might take pity on us and post our poor, neglected articles.

I will be posting articles this week, actually. I spoke with Fell about this.

TWG is going to a three times a week schedule - MWF. I've dropped all columns because we've only had one column from each of 2 of our supposed 3 in the last 4 months. Columns are dead. Long live... something else.

We have reason to hope that I'm back in the groove -- for instance, I actually woke up with the alarm this morning. And I got to work half an hour early.

Dibs for reviewing the movie Happy Feet (I don't suspect anyone else here has seen it anyway) because I want to steer others from it.

Also, I know I have two book reviews waiting to be posted. I want to make sure that with this move that they didn't get deleted or overlooked (I can re-submit if necessary). I sumitted one on November 1 and it still hasn't been posted, so I was just wondering...

Heh, no worries nessa, we only touched the forum this time the only changes made to the front site was to change the forum link and to make the log-in work with the new forum.

As you've noticed we've had some real rough spots in getting things posted, everyone in charge of that have been extremely busy.  I don't really expect much to get done this week either with the holiday.  Bear with us just a little longer, I'm probably going to go through the main site after Turkey day week and code in some features to make updating easier on everyone and I know how annoying it is to write a review and then have it sit for a week or two before getting posted.  Fell is worried that the main site is dying off and we've been discussing ways to prevent that (awards are part of our plan) but we do realize that we can encourage article submissions all we want but if we don't do our part there's no point to it.

yay for not specifically blaming me even though it's my fault!

I should get an award if I go for 3 weeks without missing an article :D

anyway, last week... I've got no excuse. Articles today and wednesday, but probably not Friday as I will be kicking the holiday season into gear with my family and it's a day off anyway due to Thursday's holiday.

However, folks, it'd be *really* nice to get some articles on something other than books and movies. Seriously. Can any of the rest of you get off your butts and write something?

There's a review of "Casino Royale" sitting in the movie queue, waiting to be blurbed. 

There are some minor formatting problems with it, that I would normally fix but can't for some reason.  I get the error "You do not administrative rights to do this." when I hit the "edit" link.

I should probably do that one today, then. I'll fix it.

Thanks, man.  The only one I noticed before I found out I couldn't edit it was that I forgot to put line breaks after the Starring, directed by, etc... lines.

And it would be really nice for those of us who write book/movie reviews that they actually got posted. So, you know, we'd be motivated to keep writing them.

Review for Happy Feet submitted.

Probably an issue from the forum change, I'll have a look at it after class today Skar, there shouldn't be a problem with this but stuff always pops up.
