    Do you sell the custom branding irons. I read your blog on them and yours looks great.

    Hi Alex,

    I registered at the rack creation board, but never received the confirmation email. Could you please active my account ( Chris Martins ). Thanks.

    Good job on your varied activities!

      I approved it for you. I wonder what happened to the confirmation email, though — I see a bunch of unconfirmed users in there, so I suppose I’ll have to re-test it to make sure it works properly… Thanks for the heads-up and let me know if you have any trouble!

    Greetings. Well the gathering went very well, all 17 family members (down my side of the tree) were at our place for the better part of the week (the meals were both a challenge a highlight). The chess boards were very well received, there are video and pictures on Facebook, but I do not know how to make them available to you, I am just now getting my feet wet in that environment. #2 son has posted pictures with a most beautiful set of men he bought for his board.
    Please continue with your plan to post the pics, etc. and I will notify the boys.
    Thanks again,
    Dennis

    Awesome blog! I’m looking forward to trying my hand at the Mocha Syrup recipe.

    From what I can see, we share so many common interests we are like “twin brothers from different mothers!” I look forward to coming back later and reading more!

    Hi,
    I purchased plans for studio workstation #5… paid through Paypal, but upon completing the transaction, it just sent me back to the page with all the plans on it. I see no place to download the pdf file!

      Hi Ralph,

      Thanks for contacting me. It looks like you already found it, but in case others have the same question, look for an email called “Order Confirmation & Detail.” (Sometimes these emails get swept up by spam filters.) This email contains a download link and password information for your order.

      Thanks, and please let me know if you have any trouble.
      -Alex

      Yes, the server that site was on was hacked really badly and I haven’t been able to recover it. I’m working on getting some of the content back out from backups, but I want to move it to a more secure system, and that’s taking some time. Regarding compatibility with AD 2012, I haven’t heard that it’s not working, but I haven’t been able to test it myself.

    Hi, I am interested in doing this project with a couple of high school kids. I can easily get all the supplies needed but i’m not the best programmer, would you mind contacting me for further info about how to program the chip?
    Thank you

      I’m happy to help, but It’s not clear which of my projects you’re interested in.
