Round 5 and Round 6 kits for sale!

[Flintfish]

In regards to order status - this is from one of 7bits posts on 30 april

In fact, the deadlines are all fake. I still wait for the invoice from SP.

So most likely the order hasn't been placed yet...

[usopia]

Hmm, no invoices and no posts from 7bit for eight days. I hope everything is ok with him.

[jefferai]

Hmm the funds are still with you? Does that mean the order still has not been placed?

Yes and no (speaking as another collector here). SP has been sent some money a while back, which was to get the new tooling going (I know, because I sent it). But the next round of invoices has not been sent to SP, previously because their person was on vacation during April, and now because 7bit is...on vacation?

I don't think there is cause for worry yet. Sometimes things happen and real life needs must be prioritized. If the absence goes on for an extended period of time (much longer than now), I will work with the other payment collectors to figure out next steps, starting with trying to contact 7 bit IRL. But that's *very* premature right now.

I should mention that much money has already been sent to SP and at least on my end 7bit has not asked for the money; it's still in my account. So for anyone thinking the worst: even apart from 7bit's stellar record, he doesn't even have a lot or all of the money, so him having absconded with it is highly unlikely

I'm actually looking forward to it! Beauty is all in the caps. And I want more colours! That's why I'm so into Round 5.

The keyboard is a prototype CM NovaTouch with Topre switches and MX mounts. Here's Matt3o's with another nice set:

That keyboard is pure sex and I want it. What are the key sizes...do the TKL kits in R5 have the right keys for it, our do you need the extra keys in the TENKEYLESS sets?

Here's hoping they make it to production. Tell them also to make, along with that, a preassembled ErgoDox with the Topre/MX mount switches.

@jefferai: it was the Skull Squadron-GB, the Caps are DSA-Profile.

We need to have a PLAN B in case 7bit was captured and converted by M.E.M.B.R.A.N.E.

MOST EVIL MAJOR BROAD REUNITED NETWORK of EVIL

Yes there's 2 "EVIL". That's how evil they are!

Seriously, what do we do if 7bit is dead?

[chanlol]

paln B ? Find a guy like 7bit? The death of 7bit means the end of deskthority?

[sixty]

Just because someone disappears for some time, does not necessarily mean they died. I should know!

That said, I really hope he is doing okay.

[kzhk]

This unannounced absence is kind of disturbing considering how active 7bit usually is. Those who made a bank transfer to 7bit have his real name. A simple googling shows 7bit registered a website with its familly name, apparently for a member of his familly (not the same first name). This website have a contact page with an email and a phone number. It may be a way to know if he is okay in case he doesn't come back soon. I' haven't been on DT for long but I really appreciate 7bit services... I hope he is all right...

I bet he's on holiday. Just like Melissa. Coincidence?

[Muirium]

7bit's ideal holiday would be to the SP factory anyway, so…

7bit Does Custer

not much of a vacation although the nature around custer is beautiful. other that wildlife and unless you like a small-town slow-paced lifestyle, bellingham is the only city for miles with anything going on.

to think it took me moving to california to get into keyboards before i found out SP HQ is 20 minutes from my hometown...

[Muirium]

Ah, "Bellinghamming". (A great episode of my favourite of all podcasts happened upon that town, the pinnacle of northwesterness!)

[chiffre]

So If I want to order some leftovers, are there any left? How do I go about ordering? I left 7bit a message and haven't heard back.

7bit is MIA, you'll probably have to wait

[drrtyrokka]

7bit is just AFK. You know, he's away from keyboard. Yea? Not funny? Ok, I'll go and dig me a hole... ( -.-)

[7bit]

I'm back.


The bot and me took a few days off.


Sadly, I had forgotten to take the charger cable for my Thinkpad with me ...

[SL89]

Hallelujah

[SL89]

I'm back.

I just got my invoice as requested so thank you for that. And i had already sent payment, but the invoice still says 0% paid.
Just wondering when the money will catch up with 7bot lol

[beltet]

I tried to google 7bit's real name and one of the first image results I found was this:



He problably joined the bundeswher (german armed forces) and we will not hear from him in a while.

EDIT: Ok... He's back... But my theory may still hold? Army vacation?

[8bit]

This bit is bot

[Muirium]

Hooray! My caps my caps my caps! Good to see you, man.

[facetsesame]

Great to see you 7bit! Hope you had a nice break

You won't believe how worried some of us were! Not me, of course.

I'm not in the picture, because I took the photo.

These are fire brigade uniforms btw. Somehow I don't think 7-bit is a fire fighter type.
