UPDATES AND INFORMATION
11 years ago
First of all, these have already been posted on the Hybrid Studios FACEBOOK - for regular updates I highly recommend following the Facebook account (or the Twitter as it gets crossposted over onto there via a link) - details for both accounts are on my profile here on FA. I haven't had much in the way of PC access and as such have not been able to post this on FA until today.
UPDATE 1: From 6th September
Just so people are aware there are a few notices I need to announce:
1. The website - the website is currently being remodelled still, the person remodeling the site for me has been very busy and as such it is not complete yet. The domain is due for renewal and I cannot currently afford to renew it - so for the next month or so updates will be posted either here instead
2. Surgery and moving - due to my partner receiving a job offer we are having to move very short noticed. In fact we were alerted a week ago and will be moving in a few short weeks. My husband is also having surgery on Tuesday and as such is unable to assist packing OR moving (his job starts after his recovery time) so I am having to do this all pretty much solo. Because of this all suit work will be ON HOLD until mid October - we're aiming to be in, unpacked and sorted by Oct 15th. The good news is I will have DOUBLE the workspace in the new house and be able to work longer hours. I will also be back doing fursuit work FULL TIME instead of on the part time basis I have been working the past few months due to having a second temporary job.
As always, any concerns email me - there will be a slight delay in responding to emails, again due to packing. I prefer to email on the computer (I am currently writing this on my phone) and I am not readily on my PC at the moment.
UPDATE 2 - MADE TODAY
OK, update for you all.
House move stuff is going well, partner is recovering from surgery. Pretty much everything is boxed and we are waiting for paperwork to be finalised before we move out. So far appear to be on schedule to be moved and unpacked by mid October. The workroom I will be moving into is nearly DOUBLE THE SIZE of what I had before which will allow for a lot more photographic shorts of WIP, better organisation and as such faster build times.
Website - the website is MOVING DOMAIN. The NEW address will be: http://www.hybridfursuits.co.uk/ (SITE IS NOT LIVE YET - I am waiting for my webmaster to sort that out for me). Please update your bookmarks. The reason for the domain change is my previous provider wanted $30 a year, the .co.uk address will be £3.50 a year. It was pretty much a no brainer but means I will need to purchase new business cards.... which I had planned to do anyway!
Trello - I am in the process of moving my queue to the Trello website. The advantage of Trello is that its easy to manage, has a calender system and images can be added. I intend to be posting WIP pictures on the threads for each persons build as I progress - this will be starting once I am back working in mid October.
Working - Once I am set up in the new premises I will be working full time and have the facilities to do this. Again, this will cause faster build times. I will also be intending to keep my PC in the room which will HOPEFULLY allow for STREAMING as I work.
