A warm Cyberpalace Christmas welcom!

Welcome. There, I said it :)

Anyways, I haven't really addressed all the Cyberpalace directors much over the past few weeks about the "State of the Palace", just because of the fact that not much has happened, and I have other personal endeavours that must be attended to. So I guess this is the first time since Thanksgiving break that I've had a chance to write an e-mail about Cyberpalace in general.

Then again, you guys know me pretty well so many of you can take things out of context...but I think during Christmas break we should have plenty of time to "discuss business" and hopefully lead Cyberpalace into a successful new year.

So tonight I'm going to address everyone with some of the changes/future plans regarding Cyberpalace. Nothing too drastic, but understand I have certain goals that I want to achieve, and must change some things around in order to pursue those goals. And I think everyone else will agree with my decisions. Once everyone is home from break I think we'll all be a little more open to talk about this.

Well, tonight was "Step 1" into transforming Cyberpalace...in a way. And as you may already know, that step was re-arranging my basement!!! Woohoo!!! I totally got rid of one of my tables (the big 8-foot one) so now I have compressed my "computer-space" down to 2 tables, which is fine, because that is all we shall need. The 2 tables will be able to hold 5 computers, which at this time is the maximum amount I want to have around down here (more on that later). It is no coincidence that there are 5 Cyberpalace Directors . Anyways, there is now a lot more open space down here to do other things, such as play cards, hang around and just have a plain old-fashioned good time. It seemed as though during these last few gatherings, many of us seemed a little, well, "bored" with some of the things we were doing. I was personally very agitated with the actions of some people , so I want to "cut-down" on the size of my "Cyberfests" to better accomodate my closest friends (and business partners at the same time!) Also, I think it will alleviate some tensions that I have placed on my parents, since I know that they trust you guys the most out of anyone -- and you guys know that as well, so there are many different reasons why I want to do this.

I don't want to get too in-depth about this issue, but I also want to clear up any misunderstandings by saying the above. The above decision I have made (with the help of others here) was done in the best interest of the "Cyberpalace Directors" meaning the 5 of us. It is very difficult sometimes to differentiate "Cyberfests" from regular "ZaFests" and the different circles of friends I share. But I want to make it clear that "Cyberfests" are meant exclusively for the 5 Cyberpalace Directors. If you have any questions or comments regarding this decision, please let me know and we shall discuss.

Once we all come back and meet again, we can move on to "Step 2" which is basically brainstorming ideas "together" (key word) and how we can all contribute, no matter how far away...or how slow of an internet connection we have :)

The best is yet to come!
