Yarrr! Today be our official company holiday as we be gettin' piratical and takin' part in all sorts o' nautical nonsense. It's international so ye can take part in it wherever you are in the world! You might want to take it easy and just interject an occasional "Avast!" or "Yarrr!", or you can go the whole nine yards and get into yer finest pirate regalia and get into the whole spirit by makin' yer coworkers walk the plank (which they be sure to be deservin', scurvy dogs the lot o' 'em!)


Them amongst ye who be interested in keepin' to the pirate code will want to check back to our blog and comments section, which we'll be updatin' throughout the day with news and pictures of what we've been up to so far!

A Little Pirate Joke Heard on the airways this Morn'

A Landluber askes a Pirate: "Is that a ships wheel in your drawers?"

The Pirate Responds: "Yes, It be driving me Nuts"

Sorry...

[Howard]

Arrr, it can't be a proper day without a fight breaking out. John and Roland got into a bit of a scrape, probably over the rum ration... Roland be a fine swordsman, but John had the greater enthusiasm - that is until his sword broke.

I have made a shortcut to the Astraware site on my desktop, but the best icon I could come up with was a generic game icon. Has (or will) Astraware ever made a nice square icon-type logo, maybe just the planet and the 'a' ??? I'd love:D to get hold of an icon like that for my shortcut!
