I've been working lately on converting the entire site over to a WordPress backend. One easily-spotted benefit is that the entire main site will now be contained in a searchable database. I've managed to get the directory organization fairly close to the original site design and may be able to tweak it even more to make the transition as seamless as possible. I'm a little worried about old deep links out there from the last three years getting broken, but doing my best to mitigate the issue as much as possible.

We've resolved the connectivity issues with Doug TenNapel, and have rescheduled the live chat for this Sunday, December 8, 2002 at 4:00 pm EST/1:00 pm PST.

Once again, the chat will be held in #unfiction on the Chat-Solutions network (irc.chat-solutions.org). For those of you without an IRC client, #unfiction can be accessed via a browser-based java applet. Check in the Push, NV, forum for more details and chat guidelines.

Sadly, Doug TenNapel was unable to make tonight's chat. Although we don't have complete information yet, we strongly suspect it was due to some nefarious plot hatched by Watermark. As everyone knows, they're still out there protecting their secrets!

We had a great turnout for the chat and some great conversation in spite of things not going as planned. I'd like to personally thank everyone who came out and apologize for the unexpected problems.

We're working hard to reschedule the chat with Mr. TenNapel. Please check back here for more details as soon as we have them.

ARGN and Unfiction.com will be hosting a chat with Push, NV, consulting producer and "Push Puzzle Kingpin" Doug TenNapel on Sunday, December 1, 2002, at 5:00 p.m. PST (8:00 p.m. EST). Join us live as we grill Mr. TenNapel on all behind-the-scenes aspects of the Push campaign.

Before working on Push, NV, Doug TenNapel got his start in television as an animator for the cartoon version of "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes." Later, he got into video games and created both the "Earthworm Jim" game and subsequent television show. His upcoming TV effort, entitled "Gear," is based on his graphic novel of the same name, published by Fireman Press. Mr. TenNapel has dozens of comic book, video game, animation, and television credits, and he also wrote, directed, and played a part in the 2000 movie Mothman.

The chat will be held in #unfiction on the Chat-Solutions network (irc.chat-solutions.org). Please try to arrive a little early. This will be a moderated chat. Chat and question guidelines can be found here.
