Tutorial - Run SPOT Run | about a month ago

Updated :) As I’ve said in IRC, amazing work on the spot, thanks!

News - All Hail the DeployBot! | about a month ago

We don’t always have the luxury of running deploys during the same daily or weekly time slot. Some days we will need multiple deploys, some none at all. If there’s a pressing bugfix that is causing someone a major headache, we don’t want to wait for the next maintenance window.

We’re not quite running with continuous deployment, but we are getting darn near close to it.

It’s also worth noting that deploying causes no customer-facing downtime; we just lock down our internal system for 30 seconds or a minute while we run it.

The reasoning behind this is to accommodate servo connectors. Some connectors are too big to fit if the rows are .1" spaced, so we padded them a bit to allow for the board to be fully populated with servo connectors if need be.

So, for the record, it was Dave’s idea to get splashed in the face with water.

I’m not the one doubled over laughing in the video though. Where’s the respect?!

We want to make sure all entries have been received, including those from overseas. I believe the tentative date is this coming Monday the 30th.

The address that appears in your profile is indeed different than the one we mark on the box we ship to you. For these stats I pulled in the default shipping address from each winner; it might not be the country where the winning shipment winds up, but it’s the most accurate way of gauging from which country the winners are from.

I’ve got a bug assigned to me about letting customers edit their country; I’ll see about getting that fixed ;)

edit: Bug fixed; you may now set your country from your profile page if you’re logged in. Note this doesn’t affect shipping, just shows on your profile where you’re from.
