Server's trying to update.

It's not grabbing the update from Valve.

I hate big updates. Servers should have absolute update priority over clients.

So the server's "working", but it doesn't have SourceMod. I'd be upgrading to the latest snapshot right now and testing, but fuck, the server's still full from last night. I'm going to scramble up the mapcycle to something resembling random and run with it for today. (Besides, the latest SM snapshot seems unstable.)

Also, a tip to server regulars: If there are fewer than 24 people playing, the "connect" command will probably get you into the server.

This will only be working until I get reserve slots back.
