Antlog issue

Good afternoon.

I have set up AWS 57 on ant log, and I have seemed to have locked the database.

Thanks

Fun trivia: the original Robototron corpse (because that all it is now) is now signed by Evil scarecrow.

Also: Evil scarecrow would be a great name for a robot.

Very kind of you to say.

I spent a good Sunday afternoon starting design on the next Crabulon. I shall post some screen shots soon.
