  Beware, Thanksgiving weekend brought with it an unexpected return to severe EQ addiction in the recently christened Naylor household. IRC response times have been observed to be in total decline.

  Sheeeit. That was a party. Scromp & Chime would like to thank nearly the entire bloody sack for helping make their hitchin' memorable. Thanks a *lot* for making the trip (especially those of you living overseas!) And thanks for the tandoori, too!

  REJOICE! scromp and chime scheduled up a hitchin' ! yup they did it. Most triumphantly chime accepts scromps offer of NOC co-habitation and shared EQ addictedness. Everyone that wishes them well send me money and I'll make sure I spend it. heh... CHIME has bubbled up out of chime and can be found dispensing wiZdom on sackNET if you know where to look... Everybody's HAPPY.. Flowers are blooming.... love is in the air ... LART :)
  sackNET formally conveys it's most heartfelt congratulations to the couple. BOOYAH!

  As day turns to night, winter passes into spring, and years flow into history, so goes another Linux Expo. scromp, david, archon, and flatty were in attendance, and a good time was had by all. Ask about the crazy TEMPEST man if you want a good story.

  I standardi[zs]ed some general luser conduct rules and stuck them in http://www.sackheads.org/rules.html. Have a look and see if you have any suggestions/improvements/problems. Also see /etc/skel/README.sack.

  By an overwhelming vote of 5, Cheesy has been elected official sackNET Brit/Merkin translator. This does increase the already HUGE load on Cheesy but who cares... Please direct all cross communication problems to The Universal Translator

  Ohmigawd. It cannot be true. I submitted administrative domain changes for sackheads.org to the Internic, as has been an idle habit of mine since June, which is when they apparently procmailed me to /dev/null. IT UPDATED THIS TIME. We now have correct contact info in our nic records, and pointers to real nameservers! Drinks are on the house!

  after figuring out that Haybaler's home in California may mean we can sue anyone that spams us, payne puts the finishing touches to the brandspankingnew Sackheads.org Unsolicited Bulk E-Mail Policy. Spammers everywhere are living in PHEAR of the beard

  after an evening of hops and considerable fiddling, baler seems to be back on track. Here's hoping he stays that way this time! see s.u.h for a more detailed recap.

  Ill ... sick... crash ... die ... manual fsck.... whine... crash... Due to GOD KNOWS WHAT..(well it's rumoured to have been my shitty IDE drive HEY! it wasn't intentional) the lexheads and others coughed up 2 replacement spindles for the baler. Crankin' out hay like a FARMER ON CRYSTALMETH !! We owe a great thanks to explosive and the effort put in on recovery. He will lead us to Recovery. so sayeth the SACK...foad...pants :)

  With the completion of last night's summit, sackheads.org and dough.net have entered into a mutually-beneficial dns arrangement which should stabilize operations for both organizations. This symbolic gesture should help usher in a new era of cooperation between the once-contentious domains.
  Sackheads.org: We're committed to improving the Internet- for the children!

  Haybaler went down hard sometime this am with a bunch of hardware errors. Eric went out at 4am and poked at it a bit, unsuccessfully, but returning when it was officially Monday for what turned out to be a long haul.
  After buying more RAM, swapping this and that, rescue disk fscking, etc, he got things back up and running. We're still not sure what exactly happened in the first place, but we do know we have a pretty kickass ISP!

  distributed.net's DES-II-2 started up, and the Sackheads team kicked into overdrive. David rejoined us with his FARM after a bit of a hiatus (since DES-II-1), which was cool. Everybody be nice to david.

  the Freakshow Mutation Betting Pool is over. Flatty wins, having guessed June 25, 1998 as the Day of Reckoning. (He missed the actual date by -2 days.) We are now taking submissions for a new name for what used to be known as The Freakshow.

  archon dropped into #sack for the first time ever and immediately demanded c/n lines for his newly-resolving forbidden.dough.net. The sacknet grows.

  Brian is quite surprised to find Cheesy lounging in snadra's pool upon arriving for her doubleplusgood luau. Cheesy Does Lexington II commences.

  Brian and Chime depart for a 2-week (.it && .uk) romp. SackNet defeats the odds and astounds the experts by somehow managing to pull through in their absence.

  In a triumph of techiness over common sense, Cheesy and cohorts decide to announce their housewarming on the net, and thus their house gets a website. It's a shame someone got the directions wrong...

  a subset of the sack congregates once more, this time in Owensboro, KY, to A) witness the mawwiage of one of its own, and B) to carouse and argue about cards.
