Nov 11 02:16:02 it's close to reality Nov 11 02:17:51 we reached roughly the point we planned to reach with the amount of funds sourced. The business plan was to show off prototype and collect the better half of total cost now, but we're layout away from prototype, due to 3 disasters in a row with layouters Nov 11 02:18:59 oh :( Nov 11 02:25:48 at March through May of this year, I tried to set up a modified project building Neo900's planned successor (own case, own CPU, more mainstream compatible) with an investor, and to give all Neo900 sponsors/cistomers the option to either get back their cash or get a STEP2 (so the designated name) instead of a Neo900, but that failed or rather is on hold for undefined time due to VC negotiation issues Nov 11 02:26:36 then I suffered final breakdown from burnout which I managed to push taking care of ahead of me for 2 years Nov 11 02:27:28 still pushing :-/ Nov 11 02:27:56 so it's probably fair to consider *me* "dead" Nov 11 02:30:52 can't even get my daily living sorted. Attention span ~30 seconds, jeadache, no memory at all Nov 11 02:35:28 I'm really sorry I have no better news. Maybe when we're really lucky, the trouble with the VC-folks eventually gets solved and we can go on (if I'm still able to do such job at that time then) Nov 11 02:35:37 s/still/again/ Nov 11 02:35:37 DocScrutinizer05 meant: I'm really sorry I have no better news. Maybe when we're really lucky, the trouble with the VC-folks eventually gets solved and we can go on (if I'm again able to do such job at that time then) Nov 11 02:36:13 meanwhile I work to pay the expenses of Neo900 UG Nov 11 02:36:43 :/ **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Nov 11 03:00:00 2018
