Previous News05.15.2005 - Terrence Marks:Hi, folks. Firstly, We had a minor outage on Sunday. There was an infinite loop in the random banner display program we have here. The "keep checking until you find a comic that's supposed to run today" loop had about a 1/16 chance of becoming a "keep checking forever" loop due to a completely different typo in both of the sanity checks I had. I think it's the first program I've written that would only fail on a Sunday. Secondly, and more importantly, it's Isabel's birthday on the 27th.04.26.2005 - Isabel Marks:Sorry for the late news... it's been a busy week and its only Tuesday.Didn't mention it here because I was 1.) lazy and 2.)... I forgot to, but last weekend both Terrence and myself (yes, we both made our own separate comics) participated in 24 hour comic book day and actually managed to barely finish in time. Both the books are going to be available to next month's donators as a little thank you for all their help.
There will be a mini-report up for donators over at namirdeiter.net (sorry, but the donators get all the cool extra stuffs).
If you live in the U.S. and you sent your donation as of 04/25/05- your thank you items has been sent out! I will be sending out all those outside of the U.S. on the 27th, not the 26th... although everything will be postmarked for the day after they were sent out (two words- time travel).
I've got a few one-shot projects with really tiny due dates coming up, including the "normal" end of the month deadlines, plus I'm doing the first comic of the May 2005 Comixpedia Weekly Webcomic Jam, which I need to do super-soon (I'm hoping today but probably tomorrow).
04.12.2005 - Terrence Marks:The site was down over the weekend due to some issues with our host. We're still looking into it. If you're a namirdeiter.net member, you should have a three day extension to make up for it.We left APE early for a variety of reasons. We'd like to thank Luis, Sheila, Randy, and everybody who dropped by to see us. If you came by Sunday and missed us, we apologize. Scan your badge and e-mail it to us (along with your name and address) and we'll send you something to make up for it. We'll give you-all a full report later, when we're less tired.
04.08.2005 - Isabel Marks:We're off to APE in San Francisco this weekend!. If you're in the area, please come by and see us! Booth 306B!Don't forget about I-CON in Stony Brook, NY this weekend as well! We won't be there, of course- but there will be Namir Deiter Books plus other NDU titles for sale there!
All the on-line comics will continue to update without a hitch (as long as nothing breaks... *knocks on wood*) as well as the bonus commentary and Monday's namirdeiter.net comic- it will be in black and white (but would have been regardless).
Hopefully by Wednesday we'll have a convention report, if not the next week! -Isabel

Booth 306B.03.20.2005 - Terrence Marks:This month's reward for a $40 donation is King Me, a You Say it First/Unlike Minerva story. If you need more of both of them (and you probably do), and feel like supporting the comics, we'll be glad to help fulfill that need. If you wanted to see Kimberly read Brisbane's diary (or Brisbane, Caleb and Sofia play checkers), then this is the story for you.03.10.2005 - Terrence Marks:The nominations for the Ursa Major awards are open right now. If you want to nominate ND, we're flattered. We encourage everybody to participate so the awards can be the best they can. So go nominate, please.
