Blockhouse puts together a Geek Package
CyberArmy?s longstanding affiliate Blockhouse Hosting has restructured their packaging options and offered a sweet deal for Geeks who scrounge for pennies when they need that caffeine fix. Their excellent tech support model helps keep the costs down while still providing adequate resources for new users, but ideally geared for Geeks who need all the bells and whistles at a low price. Rather than list all the great resources available in this article, I?ll refer you to the link right here.

CyberArmy Armoury
Remember the ole CA Armoury? Full of old historical documents first hosted on CyberArmy and then on CyberArmy University? Interest into this great resource has sparked inquiries which revealed that it had been taken down when CAU changed servers. CAU has been working hard to get the site set back up and the Armoury is currently being worked on. It won?t be long now, so be patient and we?ll see that back up for everyone.
CAIRC Bans EVERYONE!!
A recent glitch in one of the network services caused the banning/quarantining of everyone to #jail. It was a hectic moment as folks scrambled to identify and rectify the problem. It didn?t take long though. Great thanks to the IRC Staff for being on top of this. Your contributions for providing the CAIRC services to us are greatly appreciated.
