Things have been a little off kilter here this week as Kapi and Frans fight a problem on the server over at 3D Gamers, which is unfortunate enough as it is, but also impacts our mail here, since they have been kindly handling that over there for a while to provide more reliability (but of course the Alanis effect kicked in). This has only had a minor impact so far, as the mail has been brought back a couple of times in between outages allowing me to catch up, but this has certainly hurt my plans to get off this roll of later-than-normal updates. Update: This mail situation continues to cause trouble, so if you need to contact me, an alternative email address to use is bluesnews@abydos.com.
