The server issues are giving us a real minor speedbump on getting Issue 1 posted, but barring catastrophic server issues, Issue 1 will be posted on Monday, October 5th!
I'll announce it here, and you can find it at http://datahaven.dumpshock.com (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) And if you ask really nicely, maybe I'll post up a teaser or two (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Bull |

It was discussed briefly on the Dumpshock IRC channel last night. Apparently someone producing the PDF was having some issues with their copy of Adobe Acrobat, and so the release of the first issue of DDH will likely be a little late. I didn't hear any mention of anything more specific than that. Still real excited about getting to see some community content out there, just gonna have to wait a bit for it now.

QUOTE (the_real_elwood @ Oct 5 2009, 06:55 PM)  It was discussed briefly on the Dumpshock IRC channel last night. Apparently someone producing the PDF was having some issues with their copy of Adobe Acrobat, and so the release of the first issue of DDH will likely be a little late. I didn't hear any mention of anything more specific than that. Still real excited about getting to see some community content out there, just gonna have to wait a bit for it now. *sigh* Yeah, been meaning to post something today. Caine Hazen has encountered some "Technical Difficulties" in that his Adobe seems to no longer be working properly, and he was part way through the initial layout design. He spent most of the last few days uninstalling and reinstalling, playing with settings, and then finally attempting procure a newer copy of Adobe in the hopes he can get it working properly. So for the moment, we're kinda stuck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif) I'm gonna go bonk him in the head in a bit and see whats up. In the meantime, I'm collecting submissions for Issue #2. I'm also going to try and get some Examples for the specific style Features posted to the website now that Chrome is back from vacation sometime in the near future so that people who are interested in submitting can possibly submit in the right format (Saves me either having them redo it, or redoing it myself (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ). I'll let y'all know when I have something more. Bull |

It looks like it'll be a few days yet, so we're officially bumping release till Monday the 12th. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif)
As a I mentioned above, Submissions for Issue #2 are due the 11th (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (We're gonna try and stay on track with Issue 2 so we can release on time). Bull |

Ok, layout was coming along fine... until we discovered the curse of whitespace. I'm posting up another thread about this, because I don't want to release something 1/2assed. I'm going to be doing a spree of adverts to fill this damn thing out.
I apologize for getting all delayed up with this.. but not... it's looking really really awesome... Another teaser to tide you all over warning,large file... |

Ahhhh too much suspense. I am way too excited to see this. I guess it's better to take your time and make it look shiny! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I've also been sick all weekend, hence why I've not been better about communicating everything (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif) I'm crawling back to bed. We'll have the thing uploaded somewhere as soon as it's done.

According to Caine, we're at about 50% done with layout. Hopefully we'll have it finalized by Thursday (Damn "real Life" and stuff!).
On the upside, I have Issue 2 mostly filled out, and all but 2 of my drafts are in. Things are going to editing soon, so we're doing good for the next issue. And hopefully issue one will eat up most of our technical difficulties and growing pains. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Bull |

There have been some serious hardware issue that have slowed things down. Everyone is working hard at getting the last bits done from what I hear.

At this point we're trying to arrange redundant backup nodes to prevent further issues from Technomancer incursions.

Hardware issues this time? Man, I think some greater power really doesn't want to see the successful release of DDH magazine.

Eh. It's the way of every 'first time'. It'll get better as time goes on... you can never be fully prepared for a product launch. Good luck guys. Let us know if there's anything we can do to help out.
