I'm 12 and what's this?

[repentance]

Luke's blog posts aren't official updates.  Josh still needs to explain to customers what the fuck is going on, but I strongly suspect that update won't come before next week now.

And seriously, the order management system still isn't up and running properly - what the hell does Jody get paid for?  Yeah, ASICs are complicated, yada, yada, yada.  That in no way excuses or explains BFL's ongoing inability to get their customer management software working properly - that should have happened long before shipping time got close and the repeated delays in shipping have given them plenty of extra time to sort it out. 

There doesn't seem to be a whole lot to "celebrate" about Jody's one year anniversary at BFL given that customer service is still a clusterfuck and they still haven't shipped their new product line.

At last count there were seven people in CS, with more to be hired. I know I didn't read that from any of Team Avalon's post/site(s). Don't make me go there to show my cock to Jody's chickens.

Pehaps they were celebrating being able to keep BFL customers on the hook for such a long time. I mean 1 year, 9 months....what's the difference right?

I don't get that either! Just imagine BFL would have shipped back in October 2012 as they initially promised. Can you imagine the chaos?

People that ordered Jalapenos getting Mini Rigs - and vice versa. Their order system is a mess. I just checked today - my order is still not correct.

I still remember one of Jody's updates where she said BFL might skip Christmas holidays because they will be busy assembling our miners. Playing on people's pity. Funny. Not!

As it turned out all bullshit.

Besides playing Minecraft and trolling their own forums: What does BFL staff actually do all day? One could expect that at least their infrastructure would be set up and running by now. Yet nothing has happened.

Butt full of FLies: Incompetence. Inability. Dishonesty.

You're slipping! You missed an opportunity to coin a new word. Care to play again?

Holy...shit.....

That is genius! It can mean anything:

From your getting hassled to potentially hustled...all the way up to "your lying to me" all the time...all wrapped up in one word.

You ought to sell that on a T-Shit to BFL customers. As well as submit it to the slang dictionary.

I'll buy 100 for the flash mob in front of BFL Labs or some other annoyingly effective location.


F' it.  If there's a billboard nearby the office I'll just rent it and put 'BFL is shit.'

I'm noticing a distinct lack of Luke posting anything but pictures of neon signs.

The following is a post full of pure speculation:

Anything else and...it would tip the masses that there is something wrong.  

I just laughed at my own joke....cause it is true. We all probably know it is a clusterfuck behind the scenes. We just don't see anything directly to confirm it.

In the absence of a confirmation there is only "speculation".

=============

When their tester had a bad socket, they went to Plan B.

Plan B: Blindly slap each chip unto the PCB's and pray.

Plan B1: If slapping the chips on the sockets actually works....then program the chips with firmware and hope you can hide bad chips stats from the users who will be receiving them. Overclock as necessary.

Plan C: If too many chips come out defective or under spec. We will send each customer an extra unit to compensate.

For anyone who doesn't believe me about "Plan C", go read the Shout archive for BFL_Josh. In or around 3/10 at 11pm. (If I recall the date correctly)

Dibs on the neon signs when we go in with pitchforks and torches!

Luke was about to release the following image snapped during Jody's anniversary party...



...but opted otherwise, not wanting to be criticized about hanging around a bunch of tarts.

Those look like Raspberry Pies.
