Hi all,
I will trying to "set up" shop at he new "grumblingdwarf.net"
So I will probably only post November 2009 events here as well as there.
Then it will be orur SWM madison Facebook and the new site from Decmeber 2009 onwards. I will probably try to start up a forum on the Roleplaying version as well.

Even after a mid-afternoon inquiry, they left me in limbo until last night. They said that there is indeed an issue with the server that the Dwarf is located, along with a couple other domains I have there. You're going to like this, they're still not convinced that the problem has been resolved. It's ridiculous.

I now work in a web department. I have a few solid suggestions from fellow web geeks as well as some personal friends. ...
