I'm getting really bad at this report thing. I am really going to start getting these out weekly, I swear it!  



These last few weeks have been really tough IRL. One week I was sick with strep throat (while doing the Ch I results), the next week I had some craziness at work in which I pulled 2 all-nighters, then this week I have exams and more work craziness and then the CH II results to grade. I have a 5 page book report, a 7 page research paper and a 12 page Final essay due on Monday.  



The good news is that after that I get 4 weeks of pure-working-9-to-5 freedom. I haven't had a schedule that I was home at night before 9 in a full year almost. I will truly enjoy having some time to myself (aka time with my fiancee).  



For those of you who care, I have a wedding date set for August 12th 2005. We're working on some of the major plans now, and it's going well. My mom is having fun doing some planning and I'm having fun doing all of the watching.  



I just got a new laptop btw. Dell Latitude D600, Penium M 1400 mhz, 512 RAM, 14.1 inch monitor etc. It's sweeeeeet. Laptop = DB in class. I'm also moving next weekend -- so that will be fun. No more shitty roommates.   



That's it. Yaaaaay.

I hope everyone has enjoyed Chapter II so far. There are only a few days left. I'm expecting the same big influx of submissions on Friday. Just make sure they are in by then. I will be working with my staff of graders to get things done as fast as possible. It will be very tough however to get 132 ACC matches graded very quickly. Kaiann is leading the charge in that. My goal is no more than a week inbetween Chapters.

I know there's been a lot of discussion about the ACC and the GJW. I hope everything is clear now regarding that.  



I have already informed Alaric and McKenna that we need to work on the Vendetta Guide for the ACC. This will also span over into other areas. After the GJW and the lessons I've learned, we are going to be building a lot of common functionality into the Database for Rebirth and We will be working on creating a Vendetta Guide that presents planning rules and guidlines for people in the future.  



One note though -- Just because it's used normally doesn't mean that it's cannon all over. I didn't even use the ACC vendetta guide for the GJW, hence my surprise when people started quoting from it. That is a Guide, not a requirement set. The Rules of Engagement are the true rules.

I won't be able to access the internet a whole lot on my LoA, unfortunately. FF and Mav will have my cell phone number for emergencies. If there is an email you would especially like me to see, put "URGENT" in the subject. I probably won't do much more than scan my mail.

  I just talked with Pyralis (my new Magistrate, congrats) about trhe progress on the Clan Powers. For those of you who don't know, my Praetor, Bloodfyre, has been working on them solo while I do other things, so I added Pyralis to help him out. They've been shooting ideas back and forth and Pyr came up with an exellent document that spelled out a lot of the ideas we've been working towards.  

The estimates are that we can get the changes done within the next few weeks and have something to publish by then as well. I think everyone will like the system.

    Mostly for Summits and DC members:  



    I will be starting a mailing list for Dark Summit discussions that will take over the Committee message boards. I am calling this group the Inner Circle. Basically, I am going to give people the opportunity to add and remove themselves from the list when they want so they can participate in discussions.  



    I will be initializing this in a few days, so yeah...just thought I'd tell ya.

    Well -- I had a catastrophe the other day.....I saved over the photoshop design of the new site. oops. I've spent some time remaking it, but with school and RL I haven't completed it.  

I have a lot to do before CG and Jam3z get back from LoA, and we're gonna be on fire when it's done. Hopefully we'll have some screen shots to show you in about 2 weeks.
