note: This is The Column, a part of Apolyton where primarily Markos and Dan write whatever we want :). Well, not just the two of us. The Column is open to everyone. If you feel like writing submit your article to civ2@gamestats.com

An instance of notepad empty, waiting for text to be typed. Saturday(Sunday actally), 2:34am(Greek time), the column someone else was writing is not ready, and I'm ehre supposedly writing a column instead. :) I will ask in advance for your forgiveness for the following jabberwocky(found the word in an english/dictionary I have) as I try to give you and idea of the lifestyle of a Apolyton webmaster... :)

IRC
Right now, the chat is going on, more than 2 and half hours after it's start. A small irc battle just ended, the discussion continues.... No, we didn't hit 100 people after all. Perhaps the spelling error(June instead of May) in the context of the announcement(but not on the title!) had something to do with it... Perhaps not...

FORUMS
I'm checking for the billionth time today the forums. 166 Active topics today. 166 Threads had a new message today. The members today are... stop. Iain's password was stolen by *****(not to be announced) and I have to get him a new one. Hold on... Ok, everything corrected. Perhaps ***** deserves a punishment... :) Sometimes I wonder why people do things like that. I shouldn't have to deal with idiotic stuff like that. But I guess it comes with the job...

Going to CTP-General: the "which is better" thread goes on, someone posts a way to use the patch with localized version(reminder: add a page in "Modification"). Anyway, did you notice a change after the patch? Where did all those "ctp sucks" comments go? Did people's opinions change or did they just got bored? I guess both are true in some part...

Off-Topic: A couple of fake threads by Iain must be deleted. He doesn't hate jews after all. It's nice to see people leaving and coming back a couple days later. You can't escape from Apolyton! No need for petitions napoleon! :) It's also nice to see that the forum managed to survive the last "forum war"...

INCOMING MAIL
Looks like the other column wont be ready today(Saturday, Apolyton Forum Time) after all. Oh well, it's ok now... I somehow managed to write something. Was it interesting? Yeah right... :)

3:28am, Homesite opened, the column will be up in a couple of minutes. The chat on irc goes on, but I just remembered that there is something called "sleep"...
