I does what I says on the box.
And are donations still coming in, or has it pretty much ground to a halt?

Boy I still can't belive we raised that much money for the site, and if I recall now I may be wrong, but did everyone who donated raise over the 15K mark within 3 days? Well anyway glad that FA is getting the upgrades it deserves.

I have Novastorm in the back of my car, but there are some issues with it. We are more than likely sending it back to CDW because we do not agree with how they handled (read: how they botched) our order.

Heh. I'm working through an ep of YTJD a day at work...

If you want a real surrealist experience, listen to the five-parters and intermix 'em with a Frank Zappa album. :D

-MMM-

I was thinking of taking a small chunk of what's left (about $250) and donating it to the FA: United charity this year. Given we have to pay taxes on the donations, if we donate a little chunk to the animal rescue team of the NJSPCA (who are trying to buy bullet proof vests to defend themselves and rescue endangered animals) we'd both be doing ourselves a favor, our fellow man a favor and benefiting abused animals and helping unfortunate animals find new homes.

Everybody wins.

I've been listening to YTJD on XM in the mornings, as they play out the the entire 5-part stories. Cracking good detective drama with the man with the action-packed expense account. :)

I love OTR. :)

I'm cool with that, seems like a good cause. :) That is not something I donated for, but if it really benefits everyone, and it's such a small percentage of the donations.

Ok, what the hell has CDW done now? I swear, they dumped a ton of money into slick, monkey-based advertising and none of it into employee training and customer retention.

Is this a situation where one would send a server back overnight with a grimace and be short with a phone tech, or a situation where one would drive to the CDW central warehousing facility and launch said server through the bay doors, hopefully hitting the jockey who boxed the botched order square in the facemeats...

At the moment, they're partway through the former. The call has been made (at least once), and the server will be sent back to CDW soon.

If it's not done right after this, then the latter procedure may have to be enacted.
