Scott has been busting his butt working on the new Affiliate functionality in SocialSpark. The pressure has been on and the timing is tight. We ran into a few bugs that were causing the Affiliate Server to run unreliably in the wee hours of the night. The dev team rallied around it to figure out what the problem was, but it was no small task. Eric ultimately helped Scott to whip into shape and last night we had no issues. Eric is running a bit late today, so we took the liberty of building a small Eric shrine. I want to thank Scott and Eric for the hard work they have put into the Affiliate Server. You guys rock… and Twinkies are awesome.
