What happened to the latest MeFi CD Swap?

August 3, 2006 7:08 PM

Does anyone have info about the latest, greatest MeFi swap? There hasn't been any new updates on their site, and the "sending of the swapsets" date has come and gone. What gives?

I was planning on asking the same question this evening. My thought was that perhaps my somewhat flaky email server hadn't got around to delivering my email yet.

Emailing the admin a couple of days ago yielded no enlightement.

MeCha from a few days ago.

Yeah, I posted that MeCha, but it didn't yield any answers, which is why I thought I'd turn to MeTa.

Anybody heard from Dreama?

Dreama obviously took everybody's money and split town.

She just commented in the jitterbug thread, so she's around at least.

I never even received a confirmation for the swap, as far as I can tell. Dreama's been uncommunicative.

as long as you're here, cortex, it's been a month since the last meficomp.com update, too. just a friendly reminder =)
PS I'm really sorry about the refi boof.

Thanks carsonb. You saved me the trouble of busting cortex's chops.

Cortex: Are the laywers/artists still to blame for the delay?

errr, i meant that to sound nicer. Something more like... "So I assume it is hard to get the releases signed with the possibility that many of the talented artists are off on vacation and the like."

In the nicest possible way, yes, it's the goddam artists and lawdogs. We're actually almost done with licensing, with all but one in (and the one that's not in is on it's way in). As for interrobang, he's almost done with art but has just moved. We agreed on an August 14th art-or-kneecaps deadline, and I frankly have little use for his kneecaps.

I'll get a proper update up today—I just yesterday wrangled proper ssh access from my place of employment and so can get at the server during the day. Whee!
