Your Weekend Assignment
by Andrew McCaskey
First, a quick update regarding Feedblitz – the email subscription service should find that restored: When we replaced our server April 12, the clock got set to the wrong time, just missing the script window at Feeedblitz who was also replacing servers about the same time. Feedblitz never saw a recent episode, just things a day old that it’s script said had already been sent. Should be corrected tonight and back online by morning.

The 31 Days of the Dragon is a promotion between 31 participating web sites, with the sponsorship of HP. HP is working with those websites offering 31 prize packages – one a day for 31 days during a period from 09 May through 08 June 2008.
The unit for the SDRNews giveaway has arrived and it’s still in the box. It’s not going to stay there long – and the prospect of a rainy weekend makes it even sweeter.
Each participating website will have its own competition with its own prize, each a HP HDX Dragon Entertainment Notebook loaded with features and software.
