Haha, I can just imagine you camping out at your computer in a tent, and when midnight strikes, you bum-rush the computer.

Congrats Dan and OXM on the news. I'm definitely looking forward to it. It's been a long time coming. Sounds like it will actually take advantage of the medium instead of just being a reprint of the magazine. Kudos.

As you might imagine, I REALLY want to know what you think of it when you see it.  :)

The ETA for launch is 11am Pacific. We should be live by then, barring hiccups, which may occur. But the content is there and ready to go.  And apparently the web teach never launches sites on a Friday because then they'd have to work all weekend if something went wrong.

The web team also built/maintains the sites for GamesRadar, Maximum PC, Mac|Life, Future Snowboarding, and Guitar World. That's one of the reasons it took a while -- they are busy and there were a lot of people in line. But the good thing is, we got a lot more functionality because each site that came before us said "We want to be able to do this and this" and they figured out how to do it for them. So we benefitted greatly from other people that came before -- and we asked for a few new things that will in turn be applied to the next site and all the other sites when they get a refresh.

I have a speech to do at 11 AM for Engineering.  Damn.

My best friend is Haywood Jablome, I do declare. However, Mike Oxawopah is still cool, due to his Russian heritage.

I get around at about 3:30 Eastern (12:30 Pacific), so I'm pleased.

What I was going to say was, "Now that the website is being launched, and from what I understand reviews will be on the website, what will happen with OXM Digital?  Will it be cancelled, or will it run in conjunction with the website?"

OXMD is independent and official "on hiatus." This will be noted in the new reformatted and updated FAQ when the site goes live.

And Merc...the site will be up after 11am too.  :)

Can't wait to see the new site! Thanks for the kind words on me solving the puzzle but I consider it partly luck and mostly boredom. It was a GREAT puzzle though!

15 hours until the new site...

I REALLY figured you might. LOL You know me. I'll definitely let you know what I think. I will say this. I've had high hopes and dreams for the site. I gave the UK OXM site as an example to shoot for. Unfortunately it looks like they abandoned that format. Oh well. Anyway, from your content examples I like what I see. I'm sure it will be worthy of the wait.

BTW, sorry to hear about OXMD. ;)

LMAO.....no, no. I meant that he was one of the most brilliant men alive, and he had no common sense. It would take him hours to decide which suit to wear so he started buying all the same clothes. Those of great mind usually have a lack of common sense. The simple things are often easily over-looked. 

 

Great to see you knew which Albert I meant though..  : )

Yah I know.  I just want to witness the grand opening, with all the traffic.

But then I realized, I live in Georgia, which is eastern time.

ALS question was seen in 1 vs 100!

Here in California, as I write this, it's 11am. But the site is not live yet as there was in fact a small snag. There's a back-end issue that needs resolvin'. So...please stand by, we are experiencing technical difficulties. We do not have an ETA, but there's a problem with registration, and when it's fixed, the site goes live.

So "sometime today." I will post again when I know for sure.

awww thank you!

yea, it looks pretty. Functiuonality will be proven over time.

Also: You really should have a "subscribe to magazine" thing somewhere on the site, it might boost sales.

Yeah, um, if you wouldn't mind SUBSCRIBING that would be GREAT. Ain't nothin' for free, son.  :)

Honestly? If it weren't for the help of our circulation team going to bat for us, the site would probably still be "under construction." So they can have all the real estate they want...

I do (and have for a number of years), don't worry.

I suppose you have a point about the real estate, but I just think it detracts from the "pretty" of the site. Granted, this is what they want, something that is "eye-catching". But again, I think it could be a bit more "tasteful" ;-)

that's what I think, assignment completed ;-)

EDIT: the email is refencing beta.oxmonline.com, might wanna submit a ticket to fix it

I already a subscriber. Though I am up for renewal in about a month. As soon as I get paid next week I'll be renewing. How's that sound?

 

Hey, I have no problem with it. The site is being used to sell the magazine after all. So it only makes sense and I have no problem with it whatsoever. But then again I used to have to sell a $2,500 yearly subscription for a market research newsletter on the website I ran. ;)

Dan,

Thank you for making my day. You may or may not be responsible for it, but just by merely pointing out the site went live...I just laughed my rear off for the last 5 minutes. `Don't worry about it`.

rofl.
