This Week at ADB, Inc., 23-29 May 2010

Steve Cole reports:

The weather this week was pleasant, mostly warm and cloudy, but the sun burst through on Friday.

The Spam Storm has quieted somewhat, dropping from 1500 on Monday to 1150 on Wednesday and less than 500 on Saturday. This is down from the long-term average of something more than 4000.

We were all disappointed, even outraged, by the final episode of LOST, which did not provide the promised answers, the science, the physics, or the history that would have made it all make sense. We feel like we wasted six years. Maybe the actors cared about the characters, but we cared about the science behind the island.

The focus of Steve Cole's week remained on Captain's Log #41. The object was to get the pages to Jean so she could read them, and the last page went on Friday. (Funny, for one of the busiest weeks with the longest days, this is one of the shortest reports because everything we did was one thing: CL#41.) Steve Cole and Steven Petrick spend hours on the phone on Friday and Saturday getting Jean's proofreading reports, and by Saturday night she had finished 80 of the 120 pages. We expect to finish the book by June 1st. At that point, Steve Cole will move on to finish FC: War & Peace; Steven Petrick has already moved on to finish SFB Module R12.

We did send out the Star Fleet Alert on Monday. Thursday, Steve Cole made a surprise visit to TalkShoe (his first call) answering questions from listeners about the company, the games, and the industry. The company meeting on Saturday green-lighted the decision to move into PDF sales at a faster pace than we have been.
