Sunday Evening with a New Kitty

Post 1

I intended to work on various web projects this weekend—specifically today—but found these plans derailed by glorious disc golf and social activities and recovery thereof. My dreams of being an Internet mogul are nothing more than fantasy and whim, victims to the harsh reality of my Ultimate lifestyle.

I will, however, spend the rest of [...]


Lei-Out 2008 Update

Post 2

The online registration system is running well—we have had 13 teams register and pay so far. Last night, I implemented the capability for a registered but unpaid team to return to an existing bid.
