In terms of EHW progress, I got some work done on the EHWPlayer class, but more importantly, I finally got the formulas I needed from the SCO which are integral to the EHWShip class which will be next in development.

The Internet Office would like to heartily congratulate our very own Alex Foley upon his appointment as the new Operations Officer. However, we're also sad to see him leave his stellar career as IOA. Obviously, that means I require a replacement. This IOA position that needs to be filled is a rather important one, with many duties. However, it can be the most rewarding (as Alex Foley can testify...) as well. Some primary duties will include:

• Being responsible for finding a SOTW and poll every week
• Having initiative to start new projects and see them out to completion
• Assisting in EHW development (preferably on the PHP side)
• Working closely with a variety of CS members
• Must have a strong IRC presence.
• Must have PHP experience (usually I don't mandate this, and I'll even accept ASP, but in this one case it matters)
• Graphics capability desirable, but not necessary

If you feel you are qualified for this position, please apply to me (ari@tiecorps.org). Being an IOA means you'll be exposed to a lot of the fleet, not just TC, so you should have a personable and confident character. It also means you'll be working on some of the more important projects going on in the fleet. I will accept requests to transfer to full-time IOA (in which case I have promotion authority) if the successful applicant so desires. Please include 1 or 2 references in your application, as well as a minimum of 2-3 examples of your PHP and/or graphics work. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me.

This week's SOTW is the Flight Office which has undergone a facelift since I'd last seen it. This 4 star site is at http://www.btinternet.com/~spellfire/flightoffice.html and it's creator is the illustrious HA Priyum Patel.
