This Week at ADB, Inc., 5-11 December 2010

Steve Cole reports:

This was the week of mail order shipments for CL#42 and Alien Armada, and it was busy all week. The only new upload to e23 (the CL#42 Supplemental File) has yet to be posted by them.

The weather this week was a little cooler, but not bitterly so, and most of our afternoon walks needed only a jacket (although it was so cold on Tuesday that the walk was canceled). Steven Petrick and Steve Cole have extended their route again, but without the staggering and moaning of last month. They're still finishing in about 30 minutes. The spam storm varied from 756 on Sunday to 1457 on Thursday.

Steve Cole finished the CL#42 Supplemental File on Monday, the Large Print Edition of Captain's Log #42 on Tuesday, and Communique #60 on Friday. He also worked on the CL#42 FLAP list (the 37 things we do after each Captain's Log is finished, from updating the catalog to posting the table of contents), finishing it on Saturday. He did the first few updates for the Wall of Honor.

Steven Petrick worked on getting the SFB Master Rulebook updated so it can go on e23. Steven took a rare day off to catch up and rest (after working seven-day weeks for a month on CL#42).

Leanna kept orders moving with help from Mike Sparks and Joel Shutts, and received the first Kindle book back from the company doing the conversion. (There were some issues there that the contractor cheerfully fixed.)

Joel did some website updates.

Jean advised us that she will arrive in Amarillo for her annual pilgrimage on Christmas morning. Jean laughed when somebody asked what movies she would go to see while in Amarillo. (She works 12+ hours per day during her "vacation" at ADB, and this year will finish GURPS Federation.)
