Out in Left-Centre Field

Sorry, I was just channeling Dr. Frankenstein there for a second. Just roll with it, okay?

Firstly, my massive thanks to Steven, Tyler, and all the others who worked on the website. The new design looks (and, to my knowledge, works) great. Thank you for your excellent work on troubleshooting and I look forward to the future site and forum updates!

Secondly, my apologies to anyone reading this for my being absent for a while. My co-op job (which is now done) was keeping me pretty tired in the evenings, and I was often away camping on the weekends with my family. Then, as if that weren't enough, about two weekends ago, my laptop contracted a rather nasty problem wherein my Norton Antivirus began thinking that "explorer.exe" (that's the Windows shell) was a viral file -- and when I tried to replace said file, my computer got stuck in a loop wherein it would boot up to the login screen, then kick me out and reboot. (As you may have guessed, it is now fixed.) None of the above is particularly conducive to getting work done for the CYA.

... which brings me to my third point. Work for the CYA. A couple of weeks ago, Tyler passed me a copy of the existing Code of Conduct with instructions to update and add onto it. For the reasons stated above, I have not made much progress; for that, Tyler and his staff have my apologies. However, I will be moving back to school (i.e. Waterloo) shortly and so I will have a fair amount of open time at the start of term (before it gets nuts) to go through it and get back a draft for review. So I will.

If anyone has suggestions for the new Code of Conduct, the original document can be found at the CYA's documents page (http://cya-ajc.ca/about/documents) and you can send me suggestions either by commenting on this blog post or via email at schneidera(at)cya-ajc.ca (replace "(at)" with "@").

Anyways, that's about all I have time for at the moment -- back to packing!

See you out there,

Adam
