And Off We Go Again...

Finally we're ready to start another round of testing.

With the amount of dramas we've had, culminating in a 4 day server outage thanks to Media Temple, you'd think that someone had it in for us.

But we've made it through that little rough patch and we're really excited to have people playing with the site again.

In a short while www.oneeyedeer.com will be available for use again.

In case you're not on the mailing list (drop me an email at kim [at] oneeyedeer [dot] com if you'd like to be added) we're asking people to do 2 things

1. Register

So you can also see your MyPad page and Join Communities

2. Tell us about bugs/suggestions

We've created special communities –
i. OED Bugs - for bugs; and
ii. OED Suggestions - for suggestions

Just join those communities then anytime you post a bug or suggestion add it to the appropriate community.

If you'd like to speak to us about something that's not a bug or suggestion, then feel free to email me on the address above.

We look forward to hearing your feedback
