smashtv Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Hi all!Sorry I have been AWOL over the last weeks......too much time working in the heat slowed me down quite a bit, then a sinus infection put me down for a few days....having had enough of that, it was time for a round of antibiotics. Unfortunately after taking just one I learned the hard way that I am allergic to this particular one.....so more days in bed, so dizzy I could not even walk! The worst was the full body rash+itch, now thats down to just a mild irritation, and I can walk again without locating the floor at high speed. ;)I'm doing a lot better without the doc's "help" by attempting to drink my weight in fluids every day, dosing on vitamins, high protein food, etc.I'm happy to be alive at this point, but feeling bad because I let everyone who's waiting on an order or an answer down, and I can only imagine the amount of messages waiting that I have not seen. I have a stack of orders packed that is waiting for a postal run I did not make, and more that need packed. If you are waiting, know that I have not forgot and will be shipping as soon as possible. Nothing is taking higher priority as I get my strength back, and I won't be doing any of the shows I had booked so I can properly recover. My partners and crew @ the production co. are the best, handling all of the tasks I am supposed to be there to do.Refunds are available and easy if you are tired of waiting, and to everyone waiting thanks so much for your patience.I'm off to dig through this huge stack of incoming parts boxes (can't even see my office floor!) and make up some kits.Again thanks, and best regardsTim aka SmashTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smashtv Posted August 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Thanks guys!I did a postal run yesterday and got the ones I already had packed launched towards a few who are waiting, and I'll be spending the rest of the weekend in catch-up mode.bestSmash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappajackson Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Sinus infection? Nasty, hope you get well soon.I don't know if there's an equivalent service in America (I'm sure there is tho), but most couriers in England will come out to your house/place of work if you set up an account, saves trooping to the post office every time, especially if you've come down with the lurgee.

c0nsumer Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Tim,Glad to hear you are feeling better. I'm out here in the Palo Alto / Mountain View area and I noticed that there is some extermination company which seems to have a large logo / mascot similar to the icon / avatar you use. Is this the same, or were my eyes decieving me? I think it was on the back of a yellow truck or something.-Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smashtv Posted August 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Good eye, That's the one! ;)Back in the less copyright-fixated, rather wild western days of the web, I snuck him in as a bullet point graphic on my long gone coinop site. It was a trivia thing, a way to kick the guys reading my site into good memories mode, since in 1995 it had only been about a decade since they had seen it on massive backdrops used on a Van Halen tour and tour shirts. :DSomewhere on those California highways there is at least one place you can see him done in a massive neon sign, over the years quite a few have sent me pics or even video of "little man". One of these days I'm sure I'll have to pick a different avatar, but I doubt I'll find anything that kicks the wayback machine for us 80's kids like this does. ;)BestSmash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billmac Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Just wanted to say that we are lucky that you are around to provide us "Midifiers" with good stuff that works great! I just got my Seeburg MO piano/organ playing from MIDI data and recording from music rolls, using the stuff I bought from you over a year ago.Bill McKeown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headed out to visit some friends, see the SRL performance at ZeroOne, etc.Where abouts are you located?-Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to see their ads on the freeway back then on my way to my girlfriends house. All decked-out with a some what Flock of Seagulls haircut, a very skinny green neck tie and a sport jacket!! ;D ;D Goooooo 80's.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
