A lot of people are having upload problems on the website.  We're looking at it!  In the meanwhile, to get something made, upload at the anonymous FTP server (ftp://www.ownage.com) and send us an email at support@ownage.com.  The FTP is upload only, so people can't download your files.  This is a temporary workaround, we're setting up private user FTPs soon.

Thanks guys!

Hey all.  We've recently made a decision to pull Full Color Paints as an available offering for the next two or three weeks while we retool the factory and retrain the workers.  It will be back! 

This is good for us because we can focus on unpainted and simple metallic finishes (bronze, pewter, chrome, etc) and spit those out fast (< 2-3 days) and we can already do those grade A. 

This is good for you, because we'll be using this time to make sure we can do fully painted models perfectly, repeatably, and FAST.

So, keep those models coming.  We'd love to do your primered or metallic (bronze, etc) models.  This doesn't apply to our partners and beta testers, you guys can still get paints in.

I've been kicked off the official blog which is now reserved for company news and feature announcements.  If you want to find my personal postings and read about the day-in and day-out of running a factory or tech startup, check me out at http://desmoda.posterous.com

Many of you wondered, "where are the updates?  what's happening with Ownage?"

We suffered a little downtime the last 2 weeks of January due to Chinese New Year.  AKA the Spring Festival.  AKA factories just shut down and tumbleweeds start blowing through the empty streets.

But we're back.  First thing is that we've moved to Posterous from Tumblr as a blogging engine.  Great thing about Posterous?  Email a blog post to post@posterous.com and it takes care of everything for you.

The king is dead, long live the king.  Huzzah!  And happy Year of the Cow.  Mooo!
