Erowid Announcement #39
March 17, 2004
Greetings Friends,

The last few weeks have been an especially intensive time of programming and site work for us. It's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day management of Erowid to the occasional detriment of longer-term development. So we took a week "off" from normal work, cut the phone lines, shut down the email, and spent some much needed time focusing on larger projects. We got some good work done and plan to use this technique to make more headway on those projects over the next couple of months.

We welcome submissions, suggestions, criticisms, or corrections at submissions@erowid.org.

peace,
fire, earth, & the Erowid crew
