Away from 29th Mar - 2nd April & General Update

I'll be away between 29th Mar - 2nd April but I will try to do some emails at some time during this period.
 
JAA: The latest JAA mods appear to be complete and working properly. For now it is on the TEST SERVER ONLY so players can't use it yet. I still need to carefully test it which wont be possible until mid-late next week.

Do you use Yahoo email?

Yahoo is probably the worst "big name" free email provider, as they regularly block legitimate emails for whatever reason. Their spam filters are extremely unreliable and my emails often never arrive. This happens quite often, so if you're using Yahoo email and aren't getting the emails you expect from me, then chances are Yahoo is blocking my emails. This occurs usually because of the combination of keywords. If this is happening to you, please use gmail to contact me, and use the email exclusively for contact with me. Best not use your ISP email as this will change if you use a different ISP.

All shipping done

All shipping is now complete. Now I'm way behind on my emails so will do as many as possible before the weekend. I wont be able to do them all, but will be up to date by end of Monday.

Uber Instructions

I've started work on some additions to the Uber instructions, based on feedback received from players. Its more like general elaboration though.
 
There will also be a whole extra section that I need to add to cover specific diamond targeting as the current section is not sufficient for all wheels and conditions. The main focus for me is simplifying the advanced features, which are sometimes essential for a sufficient edge.

General Schedule & JAA

JAA: The programmers have promised they'll have the fully tested latest version available for my testing. It will just be on the test server for now. I wont be able to test it fully until later this week, but the latest version MAY be available for players by Friday. That is assuming I don't find bugs.
 
General Schedule: As I'll be away tomorrow, I wont be able to do all emails etc. Please don't resend emails. I'll address them asap – possibly tomorrow afternoon, but more likely Wednesday.

Shipping & General Schedule

All shipping items are ready to go, but I'll be unavailable to ship them tomorrow, so they are being shipped Wednesday.

Hybrid V3

The good news is we sorted out a major issue that created instability in the secure wireless communications. This was a source of a major holdup but it needed to be done right for everything else to function correctly. From this point, the coding is fairly straight-forward as both programmers agree.
 
The bad news is one of the Hybrid programmers has some personal issues to attend to, so is on leave for 13 days. When he returns he'll be full time until completion. Before you email me saying how painful that is for you, believe me, it is 100 times worse for me.
 
Meanwhile the other programmer will do other work in preparation for his return, so progress is still being made.

New Uber Instructions & Support Meeting

See the following link for the new Uber roulette computer instructions:
 
I've made the instructions as simple as possible, and there are a few video tutorials that are also in the forum's knowledgebase.
 
If you feel anything is missing, or more elaboration is needed on specific issues, please let me know. But before contacting me, please carefully read everything in case the required information is already available.
 
Next I need to organize shipping for pending items. I'll try my best to ship everything this week. in between doing emails etc. I'll at least be shipping some.
 
I'll give an update about the support meeting asap, but first everyone please give me feedback about the latest Uber instructions so I know what areas need attention. Most players needed help with application of Auto Target, but I've made a very simple video explaining it, in addition to much clearer instructions. Again, give me feedback so I know which areas need attention either in live demos or whatever.

General Update

I've almost finished the latest Uber instructions. I'll finish and release them by the end of Wednesday. I'll then respond to all emails/code requests, then solely focus on shipping. I should be able to have pending items shipped on Thursday or Friday.

Hybrid V3

One of the programmers has fixed an issue with his component, which is now being tested, which may take a day or so. Once this issue is corrected, the rest of development will be very straight-forward and may only be about 2 weeks until I have a full working prototype. We knew the wireless communication module would be a bit fiddly, but didn't expect it to be so time consuming.

Public Holiday Today

It's a public holiday today so I've only done minimal work. All access codes have been provided and all urgent matters addressed.
 
On Tuesday I'll finish the updated Uber instructions. On either Wednesday or Thursday I'll finish preparing parcels, and before Friday I'll be shipping items out.

Uber Computer Auto Target Demo Video

For players that don't understand the auto target feature, essentially it does the following:
 
1. Automatically adjusts for ball deceleration rate changes cause by things like air pressure changes.
 
2. Automatically makes adjustments for predictions accurate to exact revolution (0 revs error tolerance), and/or exact diamond hits.
 
I've created a simple video to explain it. See http://www.genuinewinner.com/forum/index.php/topic,6553.0.html
 
Also I'm still working on a new instructions. When it is finished, everything will be much simpler to understand especially for the advanced features. As I have said before, the computer cannot possibly get any more accurate. So the focus now is making everything as simple as possible.

Emails and Order Fulfillment, & Uber Roulette Computer Sales

In the past few days I've been swamped with emails and new players because of the upcoming pricing change. Literally my fingers are sore from typing but within 24hrs everything will be up to date including orders and emails.
 
I'll also finish preparing the rest of the shipments, and will send them out Monday/Tuesday.
 
Roulette computer sales: As per my recent announcement, I've stopped sales of the Lite Roulette Computer. That's because it uses the same phones as the Uber computer and I only have a limited amount of these phones left. These phones are very difficult to modify in particularly with the firmware and timing accuracy modifications, and what needs to be done is different for every different phone model. The phone model itself is now discontinued from the manufacturer, so if I'm going to continue sales of the Uber computer, I would need to have a whole new set of modifications done for a different phone models. It took months last time just to find someone capable of doing the modifications. As it is extremely difficult and time consuming to organize it all, I wont be doing it again. So once all remaining stock of Uber phones are distributed, I will stop sales of them also. Some are being reserved as spares for partners which leaves even fewer available for sale.
 
So the Hybrid and Lite computer sales already stopped, but soon Uber sales will too. This will leave only the basic computer available, which is roughly the equivalent accuracy as a typical visual ballistics player (also much the same accuracy of other computers you can buy).
 
I don't know how long it will take for the remaining allocated stock to be sold. But when they are gone, only the basic version computer will be available.

New Uber Instructions

I'm currently re-writing the Uber computer instructions to be much simpler, and to include the updates. It will take me at least another day or so to complete it. I'll announce when the latest version is available. When it is complete, we'll do the translations to other languages.

General Update

I'm almost up-to-date on all work. I'll be out for a few hours tomorrow and when back will finish preparing some shipments, and will complete remaining emails and finish responding to forum posts.
 
I'll probably have finished the latest Uber roulette computer instructions by the end of Wednesday.
 
I'll also have the latest update on the Hybrid v3 like tomorrow or the next day.
