We could ue some help resolving some of the database issues with the board. If you know SQL and have time to give, please go to Buffistas Building a Better Board. MySQL and Postgres familiarity would be good too. Thanks.

Firefly DVDs to the Troops Update
I just wanted to let everyone know that our first shipment of 250 DVDs is now winging its way overseas. They will be placed onboard the Navy's ships and submarines. You can read the somewhat erroneous press release here.
Thank you again to everyone who contributed.
Do all Chicago-area Buffistas and other interested parties know about Flashback Weekend on the weekend of May 14-16? It's apparently the only American convention this year that David Boreanaz and Christian Kane are attending as guests of honor, in addition to Stephanie Romanov, Elizabeth Anne Allen, Camden Toy, and Charles Cyphers (the coach from "Go Fish"). Saturday night includes a Kane concert at the Pickwick Theater in Park Ridge, IL.
The Deathmatches are over. The list of winning quotes can be found here.

Job opening in Baltimore:
The job would be as an admin/secretary/whatever to a Baltimore surgeon. Pay would be up to around 35K, with state of MD benefits. They're looking for someone who can learn and spell medical terminology, can schedule appointments, be nice to patients, and actually show up to work.
Here's a little background as to why my friend's husband is looking for a new admin:
I feel bad for ___, and the incompetence of the staff he works with makes my life a living hell. Why my life, you ask? The latest blunder...they seem incapable of scheduling appointments. He asked for a day off to spend with the family a couple of months ago. (He never takes vacation days except to go to the Ukraine or some meeting...and when I say, "never", well, he took four days six years ago, and then he took a week two and a half years ago, and then a few days off when we moved....you get the picture) Anyway, he took a day off just for us to "make up" for the Ukraine thing, and told them two months ago to clear the day....well....they saw the lovely blank schedule on the computer and decided to schedule a woman who is flying in all the way from Seattle to see ___. Her tickets...non-refundable. Anyway, due to their incompetence, so much for our day together. Also, ___ comes home late and types his own notes, and enters his own data into his spreadsheets. It can be midnight before he gets done with all his secretarial work. What does the office person do? Frighten the patients by being nasty to them on the phone and send racist obnoxious emails and take loooonnngg lunch breaks.
I've asked my friend to forward more info. Contact me at my profile addy if you're interested.
Special Programming note to remind all those not keeping up with the Wonderfalls discussion in the Minearverse.
Wonderfalls has moved to Thursday night after Tru Calling on the Fox schedule. It is possible it is a permanent move.
On a local note: Minneapolis-St Paul area viewers will finally be able to watch the show earlier than Midnight, as there are no high school sports finals scheduled on Fox9 tonight!
