Forum registration now works once again. I think something broke when I patched it. I've manually activated a bunch of accounts, so if you registered but didn't get the email it's cool. If you haven't registered yet, now's the best time.
So what happened? Well, after going to work six hours early for training on Wednesday, we finally had a two-day weekend. This means we got to catch up on all the errands we've needed to run. It was a full day of car maintenance, buying of glasses, and a bunch of other things that are even less interesting.
I think we've mentioned our new cat, Frankie, who we got a few weeks ago. We found a tapeworm on him. He brought them with him when we got him. This isn't, strictly, a medical emergency. It is, however, gross and creepy and needs to be dealt with immediately. So we've spent the last several hours dealing with this instead of working on comics. Trust me - we'd rather be working on comics

When you're cleaning out your fridge, if you toss out "anything that would trigger a con check", you're a probably gamer.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance has a girl with white hair who dyes it pink and hides that from her friends because she feels ashamed. Namir Deiter has a white hare who dyes herself pink and hides that from her friends because she feels ashamed. Total coincidence, I'm sure, but it's funny how things go sometimes.
A Duel in the Somme is live! You know that secret project we mentioned a while back? It's this - a collaboration between some amazing webcartoonists and a legendary science fiction author. The comic is written by Rob Balder and Ben Bova, based on a story by Ben Bova, illustrated by Bill Holbrook, and colored by us!
Firstly, we've got public forums. They've been very private and very well hidden until now so they're a bit empty. You're invited to help make them less empty. Secondly, we've got a new poll up at NamirDeiter.net.
Firstly, we're working on Duel in the Somme, a comic book written by Rob Balder and Ben Bova, and drawn by Bill Holbrook. It's going to be awesome.
Secondly, I've been working six days a week for the last few weeks. Unfortunately, I've been too busy to tell you how busy I am. I'm sorry things have been quiet around here lately.
Thirdly, we're running five days a week in August, which gives us a little time to catch our breath here. See you Monday!
So what have we been up to lately? Well, we've been busy, mainly with non-comic stuff. As you see, the site update bar got a bit of a makeover. I'm going to be doing a bit more of that, time-permitting, as well as adding new features. I owe you an Anime Expo con report. I will tell you that the highlight was getting to meet Jamie Haram who draws the excellent comic Picatrix (which you should go read. I mean, our comic won't be up tonight, so that should free up some time for you). I've been busy at work lately; the good news is that my team got special training. The bad news is that I had to come in seven hours early for it, which means that our personal schedules have been shaken about. We're working on getting things back to normal now, but it's slowed us down a bit.
You'll notice that comics have been late once or twice this week. We are, as always, sorry about the delays. We've got a bit of personal turbulence going on right now. Nothing major. Nothing interesting enough to warrant explaining. We're just a bit shaken up at the moment. So if you could just return to your seats and fasten your safety belts, we expect to be back in smooth air tomorrow night. Thank you for flying ND Unlimited.
