Weekend notes

[strredwolf]

Ok, what do I have to do this weekend...  Get another few weeks of comic strips in the buffer.  I'm at 0 and I don't want another hiatus.  I just need to draw a few more furs and everything will be simple.  If I'm lucky, I'll be able to send off the rest of the commissions needed to be mailed and work on Xilimyth's commission, inking the rest of that up.

I'd also like to work on KeenSpace a bit.  First order of biz there is getting a list of forum ID's matched to comic ID's.  Second order is to de-spam help@ there, see what I have to adjust to block it (if I can -- the main mail exchanger for 'Space is 'Spot).

Does anyone know what Chinese year it is?  Is it the year of the Dragon?  If not, when will it be?

I dispute your claim that KeenSpace's Mail eXchanger is Butch, Kisai.

Then that means that DNS is -NOT- updating, because the top of the keenspace.com zone has keenspace.com as the MX. I also disabled wildcard, and it's still not taking it.
