Days Go By And Still I Think of Y'all

It's been a busy ten weeks; Hence the complete lack of bloggle posts. I have been assigned to defend five clients, so far. I helped three with pleas, and the fourth may not even face charges (I should find out today). Another local attorney, upon learning of my math degrees, hired me for a couple hours of expert witnessing. One of my favorite tasks in law school was acting as a witness during court exercises, and real-life expert witnessing was even better - but sadly, there's very little demand for it around here. Starting a law office is slow going; I don't know how I would have made it this far without your generous pledge drive donations.

Much of the rest of my time has been taken up trying to prepare Beatnix Coffee House for a big move downtown (the building we're in will be torn down later this year) and doing emergency technical support.

One of the technical emergencies was our mail server getting overwhelmed by spam. I finally gave in and configured it to only accept mail for existing mailboxes; Before that, it just delivered any mail addressed to an unknown name to my box. It was very convenient to be able to accept mail at any made-up name without having to fiddle with the server. This change saved the server from the tsunami of spam, but also made all mail to weboggle@shackworks.com bounce . . . and I only noticed this today. Argh. If you sent any email to weboggle@shackworks.com within the past few weeks and didn't get a reply, please re-send it!

Needless to say, among all of this excitement, I have made very little progress on the game front.
But I have been keeping careful track of your feedback, bug reports, and suggestions.

I'm sorry to have to say this, but the pop-up window nagging me to give you money is totally obnoxious. Especially since the new version of the game is inferior to the old version. I can't even load it with Safari ferpetessake, it crashes the application. I don't come on this forum complaining about it cuz I figure you know there's bugs, and you have a life and will get around to fixing bugs when and if you can. But good grief, please don't nag me for money every time I come here.. that just adds insult to injury.

I think that the new Wordsplay is great! I enjoy the new 'additions' to game play. The donation drive is just fine with me and it is not 'nagging'. The site is ad-free for pete's sake, so people ought not complain!
