About a week ago our IRC server was suddenly moved to a different IP address. Up until then South Americans had been unable to connect. In recent days however the IRC server has become unreliable, so we've decided to move it to a different provider. Until the DNS changes kick in you can connect to irc2.wcnews.com. At this time we can't confirm if South Americans are able to connect.
Before we start with the pictures from Atlanta, our first photo gallery details some of the adventures a few of us got into before we made it here. Hades always comes to the United States a week before Dragon*Con starts, so he always features prominently. We played a lot of games, went to the Penny Arcade Expo and visited the world's first science fiction museum. To see how this unfolded, visit the PreCon Gallery here.
The PreCon Gallery weighs in at just over two megs of thumbnail images, so beware if you're on dialup.
If you couldn't make it to Atlanta for Dragon*Con this year, there's another way to experience the fun. The full picture galleries come once a day, but we've also set up a webcam in the hotel room. Hopefully the room will be empty most of the time, but you can watch us work on CIC updates and hang out here.
For quite a few years now, millions of computers have been running the SETI program, analysing radio signals in the hopes that maybe one will be from aliens. Even though extra-terrestrial life has been somewhat elusive so far, the SETI project has marked a signal that has so far occurred three times as being significant. Apparently coming from a point between the Pisces and Aries constellations, the signal could be anything from an astronomical phenomenon to aliens. It could also be a false reading generated by the telescope. Analysis is still ongoing, but you can read more about the signal here. Personally I hope it is aliens.
