Sorry for the lateness of this, but I just came back from the Essen game convention, so I couldn't make it in time.

Anyway:

First, thanks to our Grand Master for this pleasant little surprise that awaited me today upon browsing the news page. And big congrats to Khobai for achieving the same - shared joy is twice the joy!

Secondly, I hope to release another course tomorrow or Monday, second of three in Tiss' series of communications courses, this time about MSN Messenger. All I still need is FF's nod on this, it's all uploaded and ready to be linked.

Thirdly, hot on this course's heels is the IRC Operator course, including how to use this strange entity called X, by SW Lenzar Demonis, this just came in as first draft and will need a little more editing, so I expect that to hit the site around the next weekend.

Fourth, a word to Xizor: You've been an absolute asset to the ACC and the DB in general by making this combat center happen. You'll be sorely missed and I can only hope we'll get a new CM who at least comes close to what you managed to add to our activities.

Fifth; Courses are going strong as usual and this week, we passed at least 3 Sith Initiates to Apprentices, so maybe the Sith Order isn't as dead as it was said to be. Whoever recruited those, many thanks and go on this way!!!
