What a wonderful week it's been.

CP and I laid down some pain last night on the 'node servers. At least it felt like we were anyway

*phew* That's another MonsterLAN in the record books, and a fantastic ML it was too. We had around 130 people sign up from our 168 max, and it felt like at least 115 of those people showed up as well. Good times.

I'll be leaving just after 1pm today to get home and get a few thing sorted for my trip. Then it's straight to the bus station to catch a 1455 service to Adelaide, then a few hours wait until my 2030 service overnight to Melbourne. Then as soon as I get there I need to find a bus/train heading to Lara (just out of Geelong a ways), which I'm praying I won't have to run the 1 kilometre to the ticket stand and back just to get on. Hopefully Boxy will be ready to whisk me away from the stop when I arrive to get some much needed shuteye.

We'll be heading to the Arena around noon to start helping with the setup. Apparently there is a crew laying carpets with a few of the gamers lending a hand (very generous of them) in echange for a cheap lunch and reduced entry costs. Poor CP is gonna be out of pocket again

Then it's gonna be all go with tables, chairs, power, CAT cabling, backbone, branches, and for me some frantic server adjustments. I've ended up having to do the server stuff on the Friday again because some things you just can't do across two 512 net connections and it's gonna be the first time in ages I havn't been doing about 3 things at once (hopefully).

Getting closer to a bug free final pass on the servers. If I can invest some time tonight or tomorrow night then I shouldn't have too much to do on Friday.

CoD appears to be working, although I need to examine the admin side of it and confirm they are all running on unique ports.

UT2004 at least boots in now and I think it managed to use the old config actually after I entered in the extra DLLs. I didnt realise they'd been deleted when Chatto was working on the server and put a fresh install of UT on, so it had been causing me some headache. Found it last night and reinstalled them.

BF2 is what I've spent the least amount of time on, mostly because I'm running on faith that the battle configs and command listings I have will be sufficient to control the tournament.

Fingers crossed for a relatively pain free ML this weekend.
