Deskthority Secret Santa 2015

Thanks, sending a message to 7bit now.

Halvar · 23 Dec 2015, 19:26

You should also have a bunch of messages from the 30 November from 7bit or 7bot telling you about your giftee.

Redmaus · 23 Dec 2015, 19:30

I don't have anything.

photekq · 23 Dec 2015, 19:39

I got emails, not messages! Search your email for 'Secret Santa 2015'.

gogusrl · 23 Dec 2015, 19:41

Readmaus, check your email, you should have something from email9@my-mbox.net (check SPAM folders, it sure looks like spam

).

XMIT · 23 Dec 2015, 20:10

IIRC we omitted you Redmaus from Secret Santa due to lack of responsiveness around the time we were shipping things. There were several pings over a period of several days. So if you don't see anything from 7bit this is likely why.

Muirium · 23 Dec 2015, 20:14

Yeah, I vaguely remember someone falling through the cracks. It wouldn't have been responsible to include a no-show.

Compgeke · 23 Dec 2015, 20:15

Looks like redmaus was excluded. http://deskthority.net/off-topic-f10/de ... ml#p264297

Redmaus · 23 Dec 2015, 23:41

Phew! Yeah nothing in my email either.

It would be quite unfortunate and embarrassing to have someone not get a gift because I wasn't paying attention.

Just picked my secret Santa package from my German proxy, arrived just in time. Will post images later

7bit · 24 Dec 2015, 18:06

Merry Christmas everybody!

Spoiler:

7bit · 29 Dec 2015, 12:56

My package arrived yesterday, but I had no time to open it ...

Ray · 29 Dec 2015, 13:25

Mine arrived. Made crappy pics, maybe I'll post them later. Have to do some typing first. Will try out new o-rings while doing so.

lolpes · 29 Dec 2015, 19:24

Mine arrived today....Oh....My....GOD!!! thank you so much my SS!! I will post pictures later, I am still going trough the box!!

P.S. my gift will be sent out in a few days

chzel · 31 Dec 2015, 17:30

Got my gift today!
It's great! Thank you Santa!
I'll post pics next year!

Halvar · 05 Jan 2016, 23:06

My Santa got held up methinks.

Redmaus · 05 Jan 2016, 23:30

Well in a way, I did get my secret Santa present!

Me and XMIT went to an e-recycler and found all these goodies. He might have some better pictures as mine is very blurry, but we found a lot of really good stuff. Including a TEX Beetle that I am typing on now although this small shift is unbearable

Other noteworthy items:

XT Model F
Omron switch board
Blue alps
Model M13 Beige with the manual and floppy
XMIT's Siig Minitouch
Couple of XMIT's Osborne linear keyboards(big ones below top right corner)

Muirium · 05 Jan 2016, 23:49

You found a TEX Beetle in recycling!?! Those only came out a couple of years ago…

XMIT · 06 Jan 2016, 03:41

Redmaus don't forget the actual Secret Santa presents that magically appeared this morning too! I think some key caps and a donor board for switches or something like that?

Yeah, we found a TEX Beetle today and I found an Cooler Master QuickFire TKL board last time. Both were Cherry MX Blues.

My SIIG MiniTouch today has Monterey Blues.

Some of my finds today will make their way to the wiki, the photos pages, or my sales thread. In time. I do still have a Hall effect board to reverse engineer.

Redmaus · 06 Jan 2016, 12:52

Oh right, the board with alps yellow switches and some one piece buckling spring caps.

Still no pics!?

seebart · 10 Jan 2016, 23:15

Awesome finds Redmaus! Looking foreward to better pics.

Halvar · 14 Jan 2016, 10:04

Who else is still waiting? Kbdfr?

kbdfr · 14 Jan 2016, 11:47

Got news two days ago from my (now not Secret) Santa that my gift was returned to him.
Obviously DHL not only failed to deliver, but also "forgot" to notify me that I could fetch it

My Santa is giving it another try

Halvar, perhaps you are just a victim of Portuguese procrastination:

Yep, lolpes is my hope

, that's why I hoped to find out how many other people are hoping for lolpes, too...

Redmaus · 14 Jan 2016, 15:52

Oh my secret santa came through even though I forgot.

XMIT got me my yellow alps board when we were at a warehouse from his keypocalypse stores.

Also a set of one-piece caps for my Unsaver.
