It's Tuesday.
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at to let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. It's also so we can find other Kossacks nearby for in-person checks when other methods of communication fail - a buddy system. Members come here to check in. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, etc.), we and your buddy are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!
If you'd like to be part of the Itzl Alert Network, please leave a comment asking to join, or send us a message asking to join. We'd love to have you. The bigger our network, the less likely someone will be stranded all alone.
The Indiegogo fundraiser for OctopodiCon expires tomorrow. The people who are supposed to be running it gave up on it 19 days ago, so it pretty much stalled back then. If they'd kept pushing it (and not just on facebook), it might have gone somewhere. It's a good thing we weren't depending on it, it would have simply allowed us to do a few extra goodies for the attendees.
Well, except for the last $4,000 we need for that dratted deposit.
On the happy side of things, the Junior Sprockets Manual is now written and in the hands of the attorney to proof it for legal gaffes.
