This Week at ADB, Inc., 23-29 January 2011

Steve Cole reports:

This was supposed to be "project week" when we worked on non-product projects that weren't getting any attention because they kept hitting snags. Well, the projects we worked on all hit snags and while progress was made, none were finished. The weather this week was not bad, even getting to "shirtsleeve" weather in the last few days. The spam storm continued, peaking at 1600 on Tuesday.

New uploads to e23 included GURPS Prime Directive and we did the paperwork to set up a store for PD20M on DriveThru. The plan is to only sell PD20M stuff on Drive Thru, and to sell PD20M stuff only on DriveThru. Everything else will go on e23 and not on DriveThru.

Steve Cole worked on projects, marketing, finishing the FC Reference Rulebook 6 (which proved to have flaws that will require another week of work before it can be re-released), wrote some blogs, updated the retired staff on the wall of honor, designed three Andro Ships and outlined an Andro seeking weapon for C3A, talked to people about doing an Android app, and dealt with someone who was trying to become a problem. Steve promises to have more Ship Card packs for e23 next week, or the week after, or at least soon.

Steve Petrick worked on C3A.

Leanna kept orders and accounting up to date.

Mike kept orders going out and rebuilt the inventory.

Joel did website updates and helped Mike.

Jean is elated that GURPS PD Federation finally went to Steve Jackson for review.

Apple approved our "slider" game for the iPhone, but if the history of other projects (e.g., Cafe Press) is any guide, they might well lock it down and ask us to fax them our contracts with Paramount, then unlock it again. So far, no problems.
