Your details

The file extension is .pif

(Edited because the last character got cut off of the final line in Cindy's original post.)

(Thanks DX. I just rechecked the email - it only has ".pi" But since I don't know pif from pi and prefer pie, I trust your judgment.)

That's actually the old name.

[edited to fix a long link]

There's a new vote up.

This is the "grandfathering" ballot, otherwise known as the "moratorium" ballot.

The question is how we treat decisions made before the voting rules were in place.

Voting "Yes" on this question means that pre-vote decisions are NOT open for discussion and change until September 20, 2003.

Voting "No" on the question means that pre-vote decisions are open for discussion and change immediately.

I don't know if this has been posted in the main Buffy thread or not, so I'll post it here. May contain minor spoilers, but I'm so spoiled now that I can't remember what has aired and what hasn't. (Except I'm pretty sure that the flying monkeys that attack and carry Giles off? Not aired yet.)

10 Questions for 'Buffy' Creator As the seven-year run of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" comes to a close tonight, the show's creator, Joss Whedon, shares his thoughts about redemption, the soul and other frivolous matters. [link]

I believe "buffista/foamy" works as login&password.

Note to early voters: The forwarding of the votes cast did not start until an hour after the notice in Press. If you voted early please check with me to see if I got it, or just vote again. I will delete any duplicates.

I'm posting this one last time, with some final details. Any help will be appreciated, since getting out of this lease is very important to yours truly. I'm hoping to get someone in the place by the middle of July.

If anyone wants/knows of someone who wants an apartment in the Baltimore area, please contact me at my profile addy.

Rent will be $544, utilities included. The only drawback is that you have to go to a laundromat to do laundry. Parking is on-street, but plentiful. It's a non-smoking, no pets apartment, and the landlady only wants to rent to a single occupant.
