So. We're three hours into signups and already have 80 (81, 82) DYE-O-RAMA Swap signups. Not all have been confirmed but we're working on it.
For the most part it's going well and I'm incredibly proud of Cody's ability to teach himself a programming language while he creates a usable form and database and pretty proud of my ability to work with him, create and make a fairly usable group weblog, and figure out how to go into my php admin and edit database entries.
The internet explorer issue is, well an issue. And we're hoping to get that resolved soon. But my man is tired and we've got it working for the most part. Absolute worst case is we have people email and we'll enter the data by hand. But that's absolute worst case. Here's hoping this is the impetus for folks to switch to a really good browser like, say, oh, this one. But browser snobishness aside, we're working on it for the IE people too.
Good news! Monica has resolved the IE issue! We think! We hope?
We hit 100 forms submitted right before 11 pm tonight
14 people haven't confirmed their email links
the form page shows 86 so it's correct in showing confirmed registrations for the swap
I'm showing 64 registered users on the group weblog (including the admins)
There's 43 hours to go.
So this is one of the projects I've been working my butt off on. Kind of explains why I haven't been posting very much hasn't it?

Thank you for all of your hard work setting up the page for Dye-o-rama! And kudos to having a husband willing to help out... (I'm narrating this as I type and my husband is rolling his eyes). Anyway, it really is quite amazing and from the number of participants, there are obviously many grateful dyers. If you want a break from dye-o-rama I'm having a yarn giveaway contest at my blog. Although, rumor has it that Scout wins everything! Anyway, thank you again! Heide

Speaking of dying stuff, I still haven't been able to find Tamarind Kool-aid (sugar or -free).
Sorry I haven't checked in for a while, Chris and I have been trying to get the guest room together before company came. Yeah, that didn't work out; first houseguest ended up on the couch. Happily, she was okay with this.
It sounds like you're busy busy busy right now, which is excellent. I'm glad to hear that you liked trader joe's (I wasn't kidding when I said that the stuff I buy there is cheaper than the same stuff at Safeway!). Give the kitties and puppy a hug for me!

Thanks for organizing the swap!
I just started a blog and did not put it on my form when I signed up. Is it too late to add it? The address is throughtheloops.typepad.com
Thanks again!
