That was a fun couple of weeks

Written by Glenn Finlay on February 26th, 2008

Well… now that the Mining Games have come and gone, I finally have some time! And I’m finally getting back to schoolwork. Or, at least, I would be if it weren’t just so darned hard to get back into the swing of things after being involved in such a large event. Large compared to anything [...]
