Ah yes. Another MonsterLAN, another journey. The Eleventh Commandment was really pretty great. You'll have to excuse any rambling as I'm running on empty with only a few hours sleep and am still having to put in a full day of work.

I had to put my precious LCD under the plane on the way back to Adelaide since I forgot to put my pocket knife in with my case, meaning they wouldnt let me onto the plane. So I just put everything under as additional luggage and got on. When I got home I took it out and couldn't see any damage, of course it may be internal or even just have dead patches on the screen. I won't know until I can boot up.

I sunk a lot of hours into getting the tournaments at XI as fluid as possible. Researching server configs, emailing lans and online tourney groups, stress testing setups, load testing, then play balancing and finally writing some automation scripts to make life a little easier. That's in addition to having to sit there for 12 hours monitoring and controlling the whole thing, not being able to do anything else at the same time.

I don't yet know whether it's actually paid off or not. My initial impressions were that all the effort was vindicated, but in the new feedback thread when asked about the comps everyone is just saying "yes". And that doesn't tell me shit. I'd actually like some comments, even bad ones. Everyone just saying "yes" gives me no impression of what I need to change. Damn it.
