Jason Scott's Weblog
A bunch more went out today with my local post office, who officially hate me. In the future, I’ll be using the nice online postage facility so that I just drop the boxes off in a bin for delivery, but for now it’s pretty much a big manual operation and eyes widen in the line […]
A lot of people have been getting their day-to-day news about this production and all this DVD stuff from this weblog; I’m sure the 2+ day news blackout has been painful. Let me let you know how it’s all going. First of all, the vast majority of the DVDs have shipped! Hundreds went out on […]
A box of DVD 1 arrived. I tested it, it worked. I am typing this with rubber gloves, because I have to get back to the table and assemble. I don’t know if I’ll make it to the late shipping at the post office tonight, but I’ll try. We are real.
We’re getting very close to The Moment; which is when we go from where this Documentary is an idea, a dream, a concept, to where it is a product and I am a seller. In that way, we cleave its existence into two pieces. In the time up to now, when there will be products […]
From my printer: Hey Jason – It looks like the Disc 1’s had some `stamper’ issues and have now been re-scheduled to ship 5/19 – which means you would receive your 500 then on 5/20. As I’m sure [has been] discussed with you, DVD-9’s are a more difficult product to manufacture than DVD-5s, and with […]
Wow, that’s one way to spend an evening. Be rest assured; if you pre-ordered or ordered a DVD set before this very moment, you will be receiving a copy of the BBS Documentary that was hand-assembled by the director. Wearing rubber gloves, so no lifting fingerprints. It brought me back to my days as a […]
This arrived today: So here’s the best part. Only discs 2 and 3 arrived. Disc 1 is supposed to arrive tomorrow. It’s like Zeno’s Paradox, except with DVDs. As was explained to me by my friendly printing elves, the duplication of the three discs are three separate projects, and the assembly is a fourth. I […]
So I woke up to the Fedex guy ringing my doorbell and found that he had 11 boxes for me. 9 of them are DVD cases and 2 are slipcovers. Just so we’re all clear, I am still waiting on the actual DVDs to arrive, which is supposed to happen this week. Goodness, there’s a […]
Another important milestone: The BBS Documentary is now available on Amazon. The entry says that the DVD has Region 1 encoding; that’s not true, and I’ve sent in a correction. The DVDs have no Region 1 encoding. Now, people who know of the BBS Documentary through this website and through the main BBS Documentary website […]
Among my various directories have been contributions sent to me by folks that I haven’t completely gone through as of yet. Generally, when something comes in from someone, I have scripts that let me integrate the new data into my archives. They find doubles, they let me describe what the files are, and then they […]
