Would it be possible to add phone number and C/O to the address information? I have already paid.

7bit · 04 Feb 2012, 23:58

No Flash! No Flash! No Flash!

And also no tripod!

You can even add a greeting or birthday whishes.

Just add whatever you want. I will print any shit as long as it can be processed by my LaTeX installation and is 7bit-only!

BTW: Phone number is no bad idea, so the driver can call you if he does not find the address or so.

Nope

I'm In college studying Production development, basicly trying to decrease the time and money it takes to manufacture something, but it is faaar more than that. Part of it is streamlining learning processes and so on. And by doing that you need to look at a person as if he/she is mentaly challenged and have never used a pair of hands before

Great! Carry on with it!

I could try out Gnash: debian.org/Flash.

Also another question, would this: http://deskthority.net/wiki/File:Phantom_7BIT_002.png layout be possible to order with the other sorts of keysets? Like with the Noir set for example?

You're not running IRIX? For shame!

Good question.

There is a PHANTOM kit which contains odd-sized keys which are necessary for this layout. But the keys on the fuction row (from the POS kit) are not existing, for example.

Is it still possible to join?

7bit · 06 Feb 2012, 19:53

Sure you can. Nothing has been ordered from the suppliers, yet.
Also, what are 'deadlines'?

Just send you list to Phantom.

Actually, I would have preferred it if there was no delivery man at all. My normal delivery spot for things sent by post is right outside my door open between 8.00 and 22.00.

When things are sent by courier, the delivery men are almost always stumped when they see the phone at the front door, and decide to ignore it, so that my package is delayed a few more days, has to be picked up at a place 30 minutes away ... and during office hours only. My current address registered with the "Phantom" bot now also contains the text "PRESS THE BUTTON ON THE DOOR WITH MY NAME ON IT!", but in Swedish.

What delivery company do you use? Any possibility of changing it to Deutsche Post for me?
BTW, is the switch order deadline really final, or could I add some more?

dirge · 06 Feb 2012, 22:28

If I've already paid for my order, how do I go about adding items and paying the difference?

Delivery will be by DHL/Deutsche Post (I'm not sure who comes in Sweden, DHL or Swedish Post).
I wondered what it could mean, now it is so clear to me:

DET FINNS EN PORTTELEFON. ANVAND DEN!

You can add as many switches as you like. This week, I will order and then you can order what is 'in stock'.

I will keep some switches back to have spares if some keys disappear, which I will sell off after the initial delivery.

Can I be a cheapskate and re-use the case and mounting plate from a PLU ML-87, thus only buying the PCB and controller?

Seems to look quite similar.

Your money did not arrive in time. You will get no Phantom etc. Also, we will not refund your money.

Good day.
