Evening Reading

Still fine tuning the Shack CS servers with map rotations and settings, 3 of them are online now but we're still waiting on the DFW server to be ready. Will have a public server status page for you guys to check out hopefully by this weekend. Oh, we'll debut the new "Late Night Theatrics" post tonight at 10.30 for movie discussions in place of Jason's Late Night Consoling which he takes Thursday off. It'll be fun! Here is stuff:

- Between stints of cheating on his wife, looks like Jesse Jackson got around to allegedly rouging some people up.
- This is just plain strange. Story about hockey kid killing dad.
- Aw man, the only reason I watched figure skating. They are banning crotch shots!
- Guess they are trying to block people from pirating TV stuff now? Is it pirating if the commercials are still in there?
- The return of SpiderGoat!

Lastly, yeah the webserver is choking and dying. You can stop emailing us about random DB lock errors etc. We're pushing more traffic than ever right now and it aint pretty. For you l00nix geeks we have loads of 5-6 on average spiking up to 17-20 every day. Working as fast as we can to get the new hardware in place.
