The BATTLESTAR panel, which will be held at the Hi Christina art space in Brooklyn, will be part of a night of BATTLESTAR fun and activities. As part of these activities that include Cylon Arm Wrestling, Gaius Inner-Monologue Karaoke, and “Frak, What’s My Line!?” improv, the BSG panel will be lead by John Brooks. Brooks will be joined with his two special guests, a philosophy/religion teacher from Columbia University and Shane Froebel, the Wiki administrator, editor and IT specialist who oversees the Wiki’s technical assets.

The event begins at 6 PM ET on Sunday, August 30, with the panel beginning at 8 PM ET. The panel will run anywhere between an hour to an hour and a half.

For this event, there is a small cover charge of $5 per person, which goes to support the art house and its worthwhile endeavors.

“We’re very excited to be able to partake in this event,” said Joe Beaudoin Jr., Project Leader of the Battlestar Wiki. “It’s a wonderful feeling to have one of our own hard-working editors and contributors represent the Wiki at a public gathering and retrospective of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA. To be able to have Shane attend such an event in a great city like Brooklyn is a testament to the trust and hard work that fans have put into the Wiki, since our launch in February 2005.”

The night will be wrapped up with Sacred Scrolls Trivia and prizes that shall include stogies, eye patches (for the Colonel Tigh in all of us), and more!

Stay tuned to Battlestar Wiki (http://www.battlestarwiki.org), its blog (http://blog.battlestarwiki.org) and its Twitter feed (http://www.twitter.com/battlestarwiki) for information and updates.

Hi Christina is an art gallery and venue located at: 632 Grand Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY. Hi Christina is near the L train at Lorimer. Its official website is: http://www.hichristina.com

G4 has been kind enough to allow us to show Grace’s segment to all of you using our blogs, wiki, and forum.  You can view the segment below.  Many thanks to G4 for granting us permission to do this.  Hope you enjoy.

Thanks,
Jonathan

As we speak, 8GB of ram is currently running on the server with only half of it being used and we have about 4000 active connections on the server.

I will be continuing to monitor the situation over the next few hours.

Therefore, people may have issues submitting edits or even accessing the site.

The issue should clear up in less than 24 hours.

In the meantime, I want to wish everyone a safe and Happy Festivus.

After receiving some comments on our off-server Case Orange blog, it appears that there is some sort of issue with some ISPs. Those in Alaska using the Alaska Communications System ISP will be pleased to know that their tech support team is looking into the issue on their end.

Updates as we get them. Thank you.

Interestingly, no Wikia wikis made it on the list, from what I can tell.
