I managed to make it to the last day of the Game Developer's Conference last week. Pretty cool just to see all the new stuff on display, but there wasn't a whole bunch I could do there. I got in with a student pass, and the only talks I could get in to were the student-specific ones. I know all that stuff already! Since all the money I have is already wrapped up in the company, I wasn't really in a position to do much wheeling and dealing, so talking to most of the companies on the floor was pretty pointless- I'm just not buying anything at the moment.

I just moved the server to it's new home, up on a shelf in my garage. I ran a dedicated circuit to the shelf to make sure that even if the rest of my house goes down (it's all on one circuit, basically), the server will stay up and running. Went remarkably easy, too.
I'm going to get the UPS system working next.

I spent some time organizing the Employees pages, adding extra integration with the LDAP server, and creating a public employees page. Everybody should update their profile here on the CWS Software site with as much contact info as you can muster, so that we can keep in contact with everybody.

CWS Software and all the forums and wikis will experience an outage on September 25, while I move the server and my cable modem to the new house. Hopefully it will only be for 1 day; however, the cable company may screw things up and extend the outage. If the outage looks to be severe, I will instead setup the server temporarily at the office. Service will be slow during this time but we should be able to access all the tools. Hopefully everything moves OK and the outage will not be longer than a day.
