This Week at ADB, Inc., 4-10 July 2010

Steve Cole reports:

The weather was agreeable this week, being cooler than usual. We had clouds on several days, and a lot of rain on Wednesday night (enough to cause what we call "flooding" which is where fourteen inches of water at the bottom of an overpass cause cars to stall out, resulting in the Amarillo version of "high water rescues"). The Spam Storm has really calmed down, averaging 400 per day.

Last week, while SVC was sick and not paying a lot of attention to what was going on, Leanna and Mike had one of their largest printing-and-shipping weeks in the last three years, and they wanted that noted in the blog. This week, SVC and Leanna felt better and were back at work.

SVC finished the CL#41 FLAP LIST (the list of things to do when we finish a product), updating the Captain's Log index, the FC Master Ship Chart, the FC Scenario Database, and other such documents. He did Communique (including two entirely new ships) and wrote the Star Fleet Alerts announcing the fall schedule and the new miniatures to the trade. He also did the first pass at the F&E SIT for the new ships in SFB Module R12, and did the FLAP LIST for FC: War and Peace and SFB Module R12. This included updating the FC Master Ship Chart and FC Scenario Database, the online catalogs, the GGIC catalog listing, and other such documents.

Steven Petrick caught up from the Origins Blackout time and got to work on SFB Module Y3. He also settled the controversial issues of Tactical Maneuvers and Superstacks, deciding that there would be no changes and that SVC didn't need to go starting trouble in SFB-land in the future.

Leanna and Mike launched into a heavy week of mail order shipments. There were so many orders coming in that they did not catch up until Thursday!

Joel helped Mike, but also did a bunch of website updates.

Jean continued to proofread, work on Prime Directive, and keep our page on Facebook growing.
