This Week at ADB, Inc., 24-30 October 2010

Steve Cole reports:

The weather this week was typical fall for the Texas panhandle, with most afternoons in the 70s and most nights dipping into the 40s. The spam storm continued, hitting 1474 on Monday and dropping to 714 on Saturday.

This was the week that the Fight For A Cure tournament completed registrations, and the tree was posted on the 31st. Good luck and good hunting to everyone. The new tournament format (35 players and 64 seats, with empty seats available for re-entries for six weeks) is a test for next year's national championship tournament.

New uploads to e23 included Kzinti Ship Pack #1 and the Omega Playtest Pack. The company decided on 29 October that FC Reference Rulebook and F&E 2010 Rulebook will be uploaded by the time CL#42 goes to press and SFB Master Rulebook (through Update E) will be uploaded by December 1st. That will provide a searchable primary rulebook for all four primary game systems (including Starmada, which has had one for years).

Steve Cole continued the project to put low-toner versions of all FC cards on the site, reach #42. His work on Captain's Log #42 officially kicked off on Saturday, with six pages sent to Jean. He also continued his weight loss and exercise program, pushing the daily walk past 30 minutes, and did some marketing and other things.

Steven Petrick worked on Captain's Log #42.

Leanna kept orders and accounting up to date, worked on the Calendar and continued work on the first Kindle Book.

Mike kept orders going out, rebuilt the inventory, and continued adding products and images to Cafe Press.

Joel did website updates and worked with Mike to put the first Star Fleet Universe calendar on Cafe Press.

Jean continues to do marketing and webmastering while making some progress on GURPS FEDS. She reported on Monday that our page on Facebook had passed 500 friends.
