DECEMBER 2001 MINUTES ARCHIVE
11:25am Thu Dec 27, 2001 
Wow!!  For ME??Well I hope everyone had a great Christmas, I don’t think I need to see anymore food in the next week or two (…not that I got to eat any of it with Evan around, sickening really to watch him inhale…)  Take a look at what showed-up in my basket of bootie this year!  Isis spent a fortune and it was months in the making, but take a peek at this custom made one-of-kind pendant!  The quarter sized plate is Solid White Gold, with a Solid Gold Quake logo bonded to it and engraved with MeatMan 4Ever on the back…  What a beautiful and unique gift!  (…No, it’s not going to be given away at the Abattoir LAN Parties…)  I can’t tell you how much I love it, very thoughtful, thank-you sweetheart!  I was so excited to show someone, but it would seem just about everyone but myself already knew about it!

So…  Are the holiday’s over yet!?  It would be nice to get a good night’s sleep some time soon, but I guess New Year’s Eve is fast approaching now.  We’ll be doing the same as before, nothing, and we’ll bloody well enjoy doing it too!  If you have no plans for New Year’s Eve and would enjoy doing nothing, please feel free to join us, there’s plenty of nothing to go around.  Just let us know by email if you’re planning on coming over for New Years, we don’t want to run short on nothing.
 

Ho-Ho-Ho Eve 11:45am Mon Dec 24, 2001 
Season’s Greetings one and all…  Has everyone been good this year?  (…guess I’m getting coal…)  Just wanted to give a quick shout out to everyone on this festive Christmas Eve…  To be politically correct, if your religion does not celebrate Christmas, and/or you find the whole Christmas “thing” to be offensive or blasphemous to your believes, please accept my apologies and advance your reading to “GO” (…collect $200…)

For the rest of us, hope you have a great week and Santa’s good to you!  (…actually, there’s no Santa, really…  Sorry you had to hear that from the Abattoir, Sgt_Astro, but I like to live in the truth…)  Take it easy on the eggnog, and don’t drink and drive!

“GO”Welcome back to the politically correct section of this Minutes UpDate.  We’ve been getting many emails and ICQ’s regarding the Abattoir SuperFTP+ Server.  Here’s the skinny: It’s working, you just can’t see “all of it”.  Nothing’s been erased, so don’t panic…  It would seem that Serv-U does not quite do what it claims it does in it’s own documentation.  There’s fewer things more frustrating than following a programs own documents to the “T” and the friggin’ thing doesn’t work.  Such is life…  We’ll find a “workaround”.  For the time being, be sure to check the Main Page of the Abattoir for the current IP of the Server.  If I get one more email asking me for the IP, you’re friggin’ Fired!  We’ll keep you up to date on how the “workaround” is coming.

Guess it's a little irrelevant to make an official announcement about BTM29's date, it's already full!  Don't dispaire, if you still want in, get to that Sign-Up Page and fill 'er out!  The Waiting List is still fairly dry!

That’s it for now…  Have a good one!  Isis is throwing an Open House tonight, it’ll be the first time her parents have met mine and the rest of my family (…”that’ll be nice”…)  See how many awkward moments you can count on the MeatCAM tonight after 7:30pm…  She’s been cooking and cleaning all weekend (…last night, she didn’t stop in the kitchen till 2:30am…)  Geez, all I wanted was Cheeze Wiz on crackers. Peace!

Thanks to all who came out and made BTM28 a ripper!  Seems we have a lot of Newbies to the last one, and more on the way in…  The Date for BTM29 “HappyNewbieYear” Edition will be January 26th, 2002!  I don’t need to tell you how FAST you should be signing up, the last BTM sold out in a matter of hours and not more than 6 hours after posting the BTM29 date on the Reservations Page, I came home to many a registration in my inbox, so get on it right now or you’ll miss out!

Just a quick note here about the Abattoir SuperFTP+ Server…  You people are crazy!  Another 60 Gig filled in no time.  Back off fer cryin’ out loud!  We’re working on the Server right now and there’ll be more space in a matter of minutes, we apologize for the brief interruption in service (…you’ll receive your refund in the mail…)

That’s it, just a quick and simple update, I know there’s not been too much activity in the LAN Minutes this month, but like the last post said, it’s been a hell of a month for me.

It’s BTM time!!  This month has been a hell-fire for myself personally, so I’m really looking forward to shooting a few people in the head!  Let’s rev up those computers and let the hunt begin!  Our skilled set-up team has been at it all day getting the Abattoir ready for a breaker-popping good time, please be sure to check the BTM Reservations Page to confirm your reservation (…especially if you’re on the Waiting List…).  We’re also going to be treated to a great Hockey Game tomorrow night as we watch the Leaf’s dismember the Habs…  I made a bet with Silent Bob the Hab Fan, if the Habs actually do the unthinkable and beat our Leaf’s tomorrow, the entire 2002 BTM Season would be on the house!  If they lost, Silent Bob has to run around the Abattoirblock in just his underwear.  He said he’d take me up on it if he could make it out, but he can’t do it…  Would have made for some great pics in the LAN Minutes!

We’ll see you tonight if you’re heading over for the Early-Bird set-up, the rest of you, we’ll catch you tomorrow!  The Abattoir Servers (…including the Super FTP+ Server...) will be brought inside the Firewall tonight, so it’ll be unreachable for the BTM Weekend, look for it back online Sunday morning.  Don’t forget to check out the MeatCAM as we’ll be broadcasting live during the LAN Party right down in LAN Central…  Peace!
