1: There's been a virus doing the rounds recently. I'd advise everyone to update their virus scanners and make sure that they use good common sense when dealing with attachments. A few handy hints are to not open an email attachment if you don't know who it's from, or if you are not expecting an attachment from the person who sent it, OR if the subject line seems anomalous (i.e., if someone from the EH sends you a mail with "the garden of eden" in the subject line, it's probably a virus). Please be careful. We operate in a club that sends hundreds of attachments daily. Keeping your own system safe is a way of ensuring that you keep others safe from viruses as well.

Judges for this event are now confirmed as: KAP Ciara Tearnan/CON/Tarentum, KAP Shadonyx/CHAN, and DJK Timeros/M:KHP/Qel-Droma of Arcona, as well as my good self. We're hoping this competition will be a lot of good fun!
