Two Months To Party Time (June 11, 2009)

[ChrisReid]

Where does the time go? If you've been watching your calendars like we have, you know that we're now less than two months away from the CIC's 11th Birthday! Be sure to set aside Monday, August 10 for the annual online birthday party in #Wingnut. The fun begins at 7:00 pm Eastern US time (4:00 pm Pacific and 11:00 pm GMT). That time kicks off a 60 minute countdown to our actual anniversary moment.

The long-awaited conclusion to Wing Commander Standoff will also be released that night, and I expect some exciting games of Prophecy multiplayer, Armada online or Wing Commander Arena to get going with this critical mass of Wing Commander fans present in one place. First time visitors can drop by #Wingnut easily via our web interface. See you there!

Unfortunately this is going to be the first year in quite a while I will not be able to attend. I have to teach that night from 6-10pm. Hope everyone enjoys the festivities!

Crap, on a work night I can't avoid...

 

[ChrisReid]

Just leave your computers on. Or log in from your phones.

I will be leaving it on when I go in to work, as I did for a previous bday that I was at work for.

As for phone internet, even ignoring that I won't have time for it while working (the reason it's a can't-avoid night), to get much more retro my cell phone would need to be one of those huge bricks, with a rotary dial on it.

Yeah, I have yet to upgrade to a phone that can access the internet. I get flack from everyone for it - job, friends, army, etc. I'm getting close to taking the leap, but I just can't manage the courage to take the jump.
