This Week at ADB, Inc., 20-26 November 2011

Steve Cole reports:

This was a week for giving thanks (what with Thanksgiving on Thursday and all) and the first of the last two weeks of Captain's Log #44. This meant that normal days (long hours and working half of Sunday and several hours on Thanksgiving) resumed. The weather this week was cool, sometimes cold, but never quite freezing. The spam storm mostly remained at just over 200 per day. Leanna cooked a full turkey dinner for both Steves and Joel.

Nothing new went on e23 this week but let us get past Captain's Log #44 and we'll resume a normal measured pace.

We did, at least, get the new Mongoose products, Captain's Log #44, SFB Module E3, and Boosters 31-32-33 on the shopping cart.

We got word that Federation Commander had won the Gaming Genius fan award for best space game.

Two customers (David, Eric) stopped in for a visit on Wednesday. They weren't together, each was going to visit family in different directions. Funny that we get maybe five or six drop in visitors per year and had two on the same day!

Steve Cole worked mostly on Captain's Log #44 this week. At the end of the week, it was exactly 70% finished. Steve found time to do a Tholian DDS scout for someone's campaign; it will be in Communique #72.

Steven Petrick worked on the last of his pages of Captain's Log #44, and began the long process of proofreading what everyone else did (and what SVC did to what SPP did).

Leanna kept orders and accounting up to date.

Mike kept orders going out, rebuilt the inventory, and managed customer service.

Joel did website updates, chased pirates, and helped Mike.

Jean managed our page on Facebook (which is up to 1043 friends), proofread Captain's Log #44, and did some marketing.
