Go forth and fill your libraries with media.
Seriously, thanks to everyone for being so amazing and patient. You are the reason I love Vox.
I was just told that the Amazon Conduit will be fixed by tomorrow. I will post here as soon as I get word that it's back up and running.
I know this has been frustrating and I am sorry there wasn't more I could do to make it less so. I really appreciate your patience though.
Cheers,
Bad news. As many of you have probably noticed, the Amazon Conduit was not fixed in the last week's release. Unfortunately, there was an undetected bug that is preventing the conduit from working.
We are working on this bug fix and hope to have the Conduit back up and running this week.
I will keep you posted.
Thank you for being so patient.

It's hard to believe it's been four months since I last updated this blog. How ironic that my last entry ended with, "Yes, I’m attempting to maintain multiple blogs at once. We all know how this will end, but humor me, won’t you?" I think that promise was broken before it even had a chance to get off the ground, hah!
My summer was long, grueling and complicated, but the start of autumn provides a much-needed respite. My day job is finally slowing its frenetic pace, and I can (hopefully? maybe?) get back to having a life outside work. What a thought!
My shops have definitely felt the strain of the summer, but they're slowly making a come-back. Custom orders and prints are going out again (if not a bit slower than usual) and I'm very grateful to my customers for being so patient with me!
When I'm not working, I'm spending time with the little (or not so little, anymore) bugger you see up there. Elspeth is a crazy-busy nine-month-old on a mission: She spends most of her time gleefully trying to kill herself. For all the baby-proofing we've done, this kid could find a way to get into mischief in a room filled with nothing but pillows and air. She's on the go, ready for action, and she's not even walking yet.
In short: We're in deep doo-doo.
And yet, that clever, mischievous smile helped me maintain my sanity in a time when I otherwise would have drawn into myself, letting the long days wear me down. It's much harder to mope and fret when there's someone depending on you for food, shelter, love, and the occasional frantic grasp of the ankle to prevent baby from diving off the end of the bed. You know, all the basic parental necessities.
I'm looking forward to picking up the blogging reigns again. I'm eagerly anticipating autumn and all it brings--the cool fall air, apple crisp, stews and soups, scarves, and ultimately settling in for the long winter ahead. Normally I dread the dark, cold months, but I'm feeling surprisingly peaceful about this transition for once. Perhaps it's because I know I'll soon be chasing a toddler around--there won't be any time for seasonal blahs when Ellie's climbing the baby gates and chasing after the cats!

The Amazon Conduit will be working again on October 15, 2009. Thank you to everyone for your patience.
Have a great weekend,
daisy, Team Vox

believe in god?: Believe in something. Perhaps not exactly "God", in the Judeo-Christian sense.

d&d character: I used to play mostly Rangers.
eggs: Perfect in so many ways.
food: Spicy. Complicated. Exploring cultures through food.
gemstone: Amethyst.
hairdresser: I have no hairdresser loyalty; I speed-date hairdressers.
icecream: Currently PC "Cream First" vanilla with chocolate splinters.
jeans: Questionable and torturing item of clothing. Usually Silvers, after lots of tedious failed dressing-room shimmies.
karaoke choice: The only time I ever sang at karaoke, I chose (from a List of Lame) Red Hot Chili Peppers' Under the Bridge. It was in totally the wrong key for me.
i want 100Mb Internet access to my home: I have high-speed at present; it is sufficient.

yesterday i: Got up, took pictures of our Civic Square for an ad I'm doing, went to work, went to a piano lesson, came home, had supper, transferred the photos off my camera to a memory stick, lay down "for a minute" and went to sleep. And slept for twelve hours, interrupted only by the Creative Genius coming to bed with a migraine, moaning about it until I sleepily convinced him to take an Advil, going and taking an Advil, doing a Pain Dance around the bed, coming to bed, and begging me to rub his head. Then I fell asleep again.
zodiac sign: A lot of Pisces.
In my last Team Vox post, I let you know that we're aware that the Amazon conduit is broken and that we're working to fix it. Many of you want to know when it's going to be fixed and I'm so sorry I haven't gotten back to you about that sooner.
Unfortunately, I don't have an exact date to give you, but rest assured, the Amazon conduit will be fixed in the coming weeks.
In the meantime, I'm about to finish my latest book and I could use a few suggestions as to what to read next, so... if you don't mind, let me know in the comments what's on your nightstand and/or what book you think I absolutely must read next.
Thanks! :)
Some of you may have noticed that right now you cannot add books from Amazon to your Vox library. Giving people a glimpse into what's on your night stand is important to many of you, so I just wanted to reassure you that we are doing our best to get this bug fixed. I'll keep you posted.
So sorry for the inconvenience.
Hope you have a great weekend!
daisy
