Delays in releasing bipolar and 07:01 [window]
March 17, 2007I am unfortunatly reporting that bipolar and 07:01 [window] releases are being delayed. I will be releasing these two (originally slated for March this year) via LuLu.com, however, due to some errors with their system, the CDs are not printing correctly. They hope to have this issue cleared up by April 4th. Once their issue is cleared, and the printings and presses are to my satisfaction, they will be unleashed. Keep a lookout here for more information, and an updated timetable. Being a developer myself, I understand that it takes a few weeks for testing and development of a bugfix, and am very pleased they are hopping right on it. With tha said, expect bipolar and 07:01 [window] to be released in mid to late April.
