Hey there! It's only the first week of October, and almost 20,000 participants have already signed up for NaNoWriMo! Oh, this is going to be a sweet, sweet 10th-anniversary year.
So we're working on a ton of things here at headquarters that I wanted to share with you. And because long lists of tech things we're working on are never really all that exciting to anyone but me, I’m stealing the little clock-bullets from the Procrastination Station to spice things up a little bit. Look! Clock-bullets!
A list of things we're working on:
- Bringing our fallen server comrade Lekempti back online with his shiny new disk. Double servers=double fun. And we can turn on long-neglected Forums search!
- Installing a new super-cool headers for the Regional Lounges that will pop your eyeballs and explode your brain (in a good way).
- Translations! We have our translator army working on bringing the site up to date in four non-English languages.
- Easing the constrictions in the global credit markets, with an emphasis on addressing the growing crisis in commercial paper.
- Fixing widgets. We'll be applying a code fix from creator Paul Hawke soon.
- Clock-bullets! I can't stop using these things.
Stopping with the clock-bullets now,
Chris

ps: If you're going to be anywhere near the Bay Area this Saturday, Tavia and I will be reading as part of a NaNoWriMo-themed event at the Litcrawl. We're on at 8:30 at the Lone Palm bar in San Francisco's Mission District. It's free! Come join us!
