 <title>Battle of the Bits is Seven Years Old</title>
 <description><![CDATA[It's hard for me to believe, but seven years ago today I launched BotB publicly on teh interwebs.  It wasn't much then, just enough to get the ball rolling on <b><a href="http://battleofthebits.org/arena/Battle/5/Detroit+I/">Detroit I</a></b> with user signup and sample uploads.  The rest of what was needed to finish the battle was rolled out just in time.  Thanks to the wayback machine you can see it as it was way back then <b><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20050511111550/battleofthebits.org/">right here</a></b>!  ...or see how it looked the following December when it fully hosted battles <b><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20051218175141/battleofthebits.org/">here</a></b>.
<br />
<br />Yesh!  Happy Burfday BotB!!! :D</span>]]></description>

<br />
<br />Now, I had tested it locally, but until someone actually hosts an OHB, we won't know if it works 100% or not.  But I am guessing that everything is fine!  :D  So, for those of you who want SMS to your phones about battles starting only, it is here!!</span>]]></description>

 <title>We Fight for 2012</title>
 <description><![CDATA[Winter Chip is happening.  We will multi-battle.  That is what we will do.
<br />
<br />Strobe wants to kill me because of evil spambots.  They're not my fault!  Promise!  But if you know what's good for you, evil spambots, you'll stay out of our way as we continue to wait for me to build some simple moderation tools!  Look out!! O___O
<br />
<br />Sorry about all the bugs that just keeping crawling out from nooks and crannies I didn't know existed.  BotB is a sloppy bitch.  There's not much more to say on the subject.

 <title>No Ann Arbor this year?</title>
 <description><![CDATA[I;ve been a very busy little beaver.  I have been building a mad amount of dams from harvested corn husks.  BotB's incredulous servers will soon be running on 100% organic high-fructose hydraulic power.
<br />
<br />As such, we are quickly reaching the end to 2011's final quarter and fiscal year.  Promises were made by the county director's office to oversea future battle assemblies but they merely shrugged their shoulders.  As raw and poetic that may appear to be, we here, the fellows and n00bs of the BotBr fellowship, have thusly assembled solely for battles.  Battle this, battle that.  Battle. Battle. battles . . .
<br />
<br />There will be no Ann Arbor party this year.  I haven't the energy or time to organize such an event.  But there is an alternatively,  and rather better version to this story.  In the second year of BotB, previous to any concept of a dedicated website, said year was replete with two such 25 sample 48 hour type battles.  Since BotB celebrated Ann Arbor XI last year, this years Ann Arbor version and anniversary number could be no larger a sum than nine point five.  
<br />
<br />BotB technically, and on paper, refuses to commit any action plan with whole hearted half efforts.  Thus, in the immediate present, I do suggest to the fellow BotBrs : articulate battle ideas that will work in the current BotB system to keep us all in a state of busy beaver action.  Winter Chip VII will be in January (as to not interfere with write an album in a February month).
<br />
<br />- teh lucky vomits :P</span>]]></description>

 <title>A Short Hiatus</title>
 <description><![CDATA[I'm leaving tomorrow morning to visit my Grandfather in California.  I'll be gone about two weeks.  He has an old pentium PC and dial-up access so I'll only really be around if I go out for coffee or something like that.  I don't want to make any promises, but I have high hopes to hash out the battle system I've had in mind for a while.  Ultimately, I'd like BotBrs to be hosting bigger battles.
<br />
<br />The double CD and cassette release from WC6 is nearing completion.  My trip is just another mild setback.  I am hoping we have a release date in May.</span>]]></description>

 <title>Winter Chip Five voting and OHBs?</title>
 <description><![CDATA[Yes!  It's time to vote on WC5's 114 entries from 13 countries.  We have over a week to get this massive task done.  If the average entry only has 15 votes at the end, the voting period will get a slight extension.
<br />
<br />Now, which is more befitting -  OHC or OHB?  One Hour Compos are a long held tradition of chat rooms.  The lingo 'compo' is short for competition and can be easily misunderstood as 'comp' or 'compilation'.  BotB is a battle site.  So would it make sense to rename these events 'One Hour Battle' instead?</span>]]></description>
