What blows is that czm might not join:( But he did state that he'd go if fat did and zero4 didn't. Guess it was doomed from the start. Too bad, good news is that viju, ffsmasher and daler are going. Maybe mr nelson will change his mind, I'm having my fingers crossed. Anyways it's great q3 is back at eswc.
