1000 competition !!

[Beo]

Oh dear god... couldn't this be the 1010 page competition?!!! I don't think I'll be done in time!

[Keppy]

I know I won't. I spent too much time on the circuit, got no artwork. 

[Jdansti]

Given the posting rate over the last couple of weeks, we probably have several weeks before we hit 1000.

[slacker]

It lives  

Just a few tweaks here and there and the artwork to sort out. Picture thread seems to be moving at about a page every 4 or 5 days, so we've hopefully still got 3 or 4 weeks to go.

Towel picked up!

I haven't dared a visit here for about two weeks, been stuck with home renovations with no chance of tinker time for this competition. Thank God picture thread posting has slowed down, I still have a theoretical chance to complete in time

[Beo]

We need a gentleman's agreement to forego Pictures posting for awhile... that would help. Or (and this is sacrilege) maybe the site could shut down for maintenance for a few days when we reach page 999! Just kidding!

Those pesky adult responsibilities really suck sometimes!  I was able to get 99% of mine done over several weeks between remodeling and vacation, but it was marathon sessions most nights.

Twiddling thumbs here!

Twiddling thumbs here!    

Let's see... So many replies come to mind.

A) No one likes a bragger.

B) If our entries were an on/off LED box like yours, we'd be finished too.

C) We can't ALL be Mr. Super Peddle Man.

D) We're all so very happy for you. I mean it-hrghh, really.

Just messing with you man-I hope you don't win

Trust me.... I am far from bragging here 

I have actually been waiting for quite some time. I had a surprising amount of time when I started the project and was lucky enough to finish it really early. I would definitely say it is a "well rounded" project with a good mix of aesthetics, functionality, and a lot of mojo-ness!
Definitely put in my blood, sweat, and tears so hopefully it all pays off.
My biggest fear is that someone will slap some kick-arse artwork onto YATS and run away with it 

Good luck to everyone

I'm finished but all for waiting.   The more entries the merrier is what I think, and I sympathize with those who feel it's gonna be real tight for their own. I had that feeling at one point too. I thought my PCBs would be late, etc.

I really was just having fun at your expense- sorry-I just can't resist it when someone sets up a joke. I wouldn't have jabbed you if I didn't already feel that you could take it. Feel free to reciprocate some time.

I'm sure you've got an awesome pedal ready for presentation. Best of luck!!!   

[iccaros]

I have my art, I have my design, I need to etch and finish case, oh ya, and test it all together to see if it sounds the same as on the bread board, but I am in DC until the second week of August so I hope I have time to get home, and finish this.

[pakrat]

I'm with Perrow, redoing my shop and can't even get to my tools. I also have been avoiding the pictures thread as though it would stop if I didn't look.... kinda like my bills. I bow my head in shame.

[deadastronaut]

ive been busy re decorating, boo hoo...haven't had time to do anything yet...

[Jdansti]

I was barely able to squeeze enough time in here and there to finish, but I just finished the last bit of debugging.  The latest aggregation was I shot a video and did extensive editing using Windows Movie Maker only to find out that WMM wouldn't save the project as a movie. After spending several more hours jacking with it, I just filmed the preview with my camera focused on  the computer monitor. Needless to say, the video and audio quality sucks, but I had spent so much time editing it, I can't see repeating all of that in another video editor.

It will be a relief to build my next project without the pressure of a deadline!

not used wmm in a while but it should render to a .wmv file which most media players accept and uploads to youtube no problem.

my entry is to be a last minute rush job and token comedy entry by the looks of things as i've also yet to start...

*edit* and when i say start i mean, like, have an actual idea...

also, if you're struggling with wmm you might wanna take a look at lightworks, a pro nle that recently went open source: http://www.lwks.com/

there's a bit of a learning curve, i've only scratched the surface, and it uses and produces huge uncompressed avi files but is very capable and runs reasonably well on this ol' sh*t heap of a machine. just make sure you have plenty of spare hd and delete files once uploaded. you may have to research and download codecs - avoid 'packs' and find just what you need. avoid divx like the plague - it's a bugger to get rid of and xvid is better. check out virtualdub too: http://www.virtualdub.org/

^ yep i use WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER all the time for a quickie....wmv is fine....save as ''recommended'' for most pc's...
