A few days ago, a visitor made a post that said, “Looks like the TWiT Army takes down another site.” Not quite, as the back-end migration that was successfully completed the week prior to last Tuesday’s Mac Break Weekly has proven up to tackling the full and blistering attention of Mr. Leo Laporte’s audience. Funranium Labs survived the TWiT Army admirably and I give high praise to my web guru and BBotE Ambassador of College Station, Mr. Jason Pulliam, for sailing directly into the heart of the storm.
However…
My 9L/day maximum production most definitely has not survived the attention. I will be spending the next couple weeks trying to clear the backlog and that’s assuming orders stop rolling in. Your local BBotE Ambassadors of Canberra, Dublin, London, Portland, NYC, Seattle, and College Station are out of stock. I have reliable reports that Chicago, DC, and LA still have some, so feel free to drop them a line. It is going to be a while until I manage to restock them.
So, this is a declaration that I’m doing all I can to get BBotE and Steins of Sciences out to you as quick as I can, but the line ahead of you may be quite long. To make it even more fun, I have some travel scheduled April 12-19th and there will be no production during this time.
You’ve won this round, TWiT Army, but the war is not over. Moo hoo ha ha.
When our Supreme Commander Leo LaPorte tells us that we need to get something (like BBotE) we get it, especially if it's one of the basic food groups (bacon, caffeine, sugar, ethyl alcohol).
Godspeed Phil…Godspeed
Where can we get this in LA?
The real question is how well will the 9L production capacity stand up against re-orders from those of us that get hooked. I look forward to enjoying my order when my number finally comes up.
That…that is a good question. I have high hopes that this spike will smooth out to a much more manageable rate.
Have you considered hiring (perhaps temporarily, perhaps not, depending on how much demand there is going forward) some Lab Assistants, and training them in the dark arts of BBotE production (kitting them out with the necessary equipment of course)? Naturally, there would have to be frequent, erm, product samplings to ensure that quality is being maintained…
In any event, having one or two trustworthy acolytes you can activate in times of need might be handy in case there are any future sudden spikes in demand.
Come on, you’ve lost the war too. Once we all get hooked on your caffeine it’s over for you. You’ll just be stuck taking our money and delivering to us delicious caffeine. Game over man game over.
