I ∗think∗ I have the NAMM booth situation under control. Thanks to everyone
offering
assistance to do 6 weeks of work in 10 days. I look forward to getting 8
hours of sleep tonite!
Certainly, the wheels of industry turn on. I have 50 MOTM-910s that will
start to ship out
tomorrow. Since these are a 'quick hit', if you ordered these in addition to
other stuff, you
∗may∗ get a split shipment. Why? I ∗need∗ to pay the $3,894 (so far) for
NAMM crap.
(Eric & Tony, your bill arrives soon!)
And, as some of you are aware, quarterly income taxes are due! The joy!
The kitting backlog is almost to the point of being able to ship to 0%. I am
beating the poor
tech students until they sweat blood (they thought electronics was
∗glamourous∗! HA! )
I will try to ship as much as I can this week. If you get nothing by say
Wednesday of next week, then
chances are you ∗won't∗ get a shipment until the end of the month. I will be
gone the 17th to the 22nd.
I probably won't have time to get the '101 to the pcb shop. I need to take
the prototype to NAMM.
I am also borrowing a '100 from Stooge Larry, who hasn't seen it in months.
Thanks for the demos I have received. I will try this weekend to upload some
of them. If my remote
mail FTP is active, I will upload a NAMM page every night with photos (if I
can get the card reader
to work on the laptop USB port). I may be so exhausted that I'm in bed by
8PM. We'll see. I'm not
a wild party, stay up all night person.
I still plan for this to be a record year (with or without NAMM). Many
modules are going to come out, now
that the kitting is under control. The taped resistors will speed things up
by 20-30%. I am ∗hoping∗ that
enough assembled orders (yes, IN WOOD CASES!) will result at NAMM so I can
have the assembly house
start wave-soldering the '300, '320, and '440 pcbs (the min to run is 50pcs
per pcb).
And, I am ∗thinking∗ of releasing a tiny little sequencer. If I get asked 1
zillion times at NAMM, then I'll
do it. The..err...MicroMoe.
Off to bed! Yippeee!!
