Adminspotting T's in US?
fu...@ccp.uchicago.edu
So...
Anyone here on this side of the pond get their Adminspotting Ts from
wotshername yet? So far, I've sent her the money, along with a note
containing every conceivable way of contacting me, etc. Plus several
e-mails, and e-mails to whichever Brit was dealing with them. No
response. And, of course, I've moved since I ordered. So my address
has changed.
*sigh*
Anyone wanna run over there and poke them repeatedly? I think they've
nodded off.

As the Brit in question, all I want to say is: SEP.
Whilst I know nothing about any T-shirts, I am reliably informed that
a dead body has been successfully delivered to an anonymous address in
USA, incurring a measly $300 customs duty in the process.
HTH. HAND.

PS. Oh yeah, although I'm not going to bother to check my outbox,
I'm pretty sure I replied to your email, and that Mary did too.

AFAIK, Mary was waiting for them to go through customs (or whatever)..
something about problems with the dead bodies and whatnot, ya know.

Great! Now if Mary would only respond to my requests so I know that a
live individual has acknowledged my change of shipping address. :)

Hm. Well, I never got Mary's, although I apologize, checking my archives
did turn up a response from you, Jon. I'm not in a rush to get the shirts
or anything. But if Mary could poke her head in and say, "yep, I know
where to ship your shirts", I'd rest a bit easier.

P.S. ...hey, if I wasn't worrying about this, I'd have to do something silly
like get work done and close some of these tickets out. :)

Out of curiosity, (yes, really; I already have my shirt) I wonder what could
be taking them so long in Customs? I made arrangements with a friend in the
UK[1] to have a number of the shirts shipped over and they sailed right
through.[2] I suppose if there's a /really/ large number of them bound for
Mary they might take a closer look or three.
BTW, thanks, jonathan, for making the shirts in the first place. Mine's
provided quite a bit of amusement so far.
[1] this was done before The Mary Connection was announced, so don't infer
any ulterior motives or lack of trust there.
[2] once he remembered to mail them, scatterbrained spod that he is.[3]
[3] and he's "too busy to read news", so I'm safe in calling him names.

The box only took a couple of days to clear Customs.
I only sent it ten(?) days ago.
FWIW there were just under a hundred shirts in the box.
In future, if there are going to be similar quantities I
shall let someone else volunteer to print US/Canadian orders.

Well, you certainly aren't going to learn anything about programming
by using it. I've been convicing people to re-write anything that takes
over a day or so to run in matlab under a better language[1]
*shudder*
I suppose it is VB with numbers for unix...

Yup. That's precisely the point of matlab - it's great for knocking up
quick tests of nice ideas, but the moment you've got something you want to
do seriously, you bloody well head off and find yourself a proper programming
language.
On the other hand, I'd be interested to look at what kind of performance
the 3rd party matlab compiler thingy gave on real problems ...

Amen. I'm out of the tee-shirt business entirely now. Getting
on a first name basis with postal workers is not the best
way to prolong one's lifespan.

Indeed. Jonathon, could you at least pack the body in dry ice next
time? It was quite messy.

I exist! Really! Tho, I'm not sure about the change of shipping
address? Could you please retransmit to me...@gizmo.erols.com (that
would be me) so I can update?

Well. See. I don't normally read this group. :)

PS: All shirts should be going out on Friday or Saturday, barring
oddness.
