Author Topic: Reason for future absence (Read 17771 times)

MOZ · « **on:** Tue, 29 October 2013, 03:25:51 »

There has been some unforeseen medical emergencies in the family, and require my immediate attention, so I will be in and out for the next week or so.

There were a couple of ongoing GBs I had, I will see if I can devote time to them. But I can't promise anything.

Sorry for the delays that may be caused, it's just not in my hands, and as much as I hate to do this, I have no choice.

I thought it would be good to post a thread to let everyone know rather than seeing a bunch of PMs, raising questions or "Where in the world is MOZ" threads.

During my absence, my priority for the little if any time I can give GH would be to:
1. Send out some GHPad cases, couple of custom cases and priority switch stickers.
2. Send out the stuff I have to, to the participants of the TVS-e KB group buy.
3. Invoice anyone left from sticker GB
4. Send some keyrings out.

I will be available via PM/email, but please contact if really required, as I can't promise an immediate reply.

Ciao, and hopefully things get sorted soon and I can get back.

Thank you for the update! Glad the medical issues have been taken care of. Good luck with the exams! At this point, might as well combine my switch stickers with custom ones, unless those will take longer. Thanks again!

If it makes you feel any better, even if someone did, it would have been unlikely that you have known in time. Only 30 pieces were available and they were probably gone within the first few minutes of posting.

Contrary to that I would have gotten in, since I am waking up early due to exam prep and I get an email for PMs, and a phone alert for emails.

Oh well, there is always next time.

Update time, my stupid uni has rescheduled some of the exams, and thus the extended delay.

However there is some good news, tomorrow on my way to the uni for hopefully the last set of exams I will send out the TVS-e gold keyboards, secret santa present, kaotikb's gasmask and KeyPoP's package, they are packed and labeled and ready to send out as long as postal office doesn't play a joke on me. Expect a tracking number those involved some time tomorrow.

I've almost completed all the keychains too.

The cases and switch stickers should be done this weekend and sent out early next week.

Ciao

MOZ · « **Reply #39 on:** Thu, 19 December 2013, 21:11:37 »

I sent out a couple of items day before yesterday, secret santa and kaotikb's item.

I also got most of the acrylic stuff yesterday and will be getting the remaining acrylic stuff, remaining keychains (Those that had some defects), and also the switch stickers. Pack it up and send everything out tomorrow.

Will post pictures of some of the things later in the evening.

I forgot to mention, Badwrench, I owed you a clear matte top for your 60% case, which I have cut sitting with me, which I will also ship tomorrow.

If there is anything left, please let me know, as I only have half of Saturday to ship stuff out as I fly for RSA on Sunday morning.

From a recent GH podcast, I understand that MOZ gets about 4 hours sleep a day, around the middle of the day.

iri · « **Reply #48 on:** Fri, 20 December 2013, 04:50:58 »

...which makes total sense if it's around midday (hottest time of the day).

Wow you guys discuss my sleeping pattern on the podcast? Which one was this, seems like I missed it.
