Sat 11:03 AM is the release date in Australia, but why is patchou beeing so sticky about release dates, as it is a great way to loose users, I hope I don't sound like i'm complaining, i just find it a bit odd

How is it a good way to lose users? Its not like the download is only available at that specific second and will never be seen again.

Because this is the computer world, and not everyone, but alot of the computer users cannot grasp the concept of time like others, what my real question is, what is Patchou doing other then the MP!L release that he wants everyone to wait for

Its not a matter of Patchou making people wait for the beta. He has been working hard for months to get Plus! Live ready for release. Hes been working hard finalising Msgplus! Live making it perfect for release, finalising the new website and cleaning up many other things such as the scripting documentation.

But isn't that already finished?

Let's just say Patchou's standards are very very high . Plus, the plus beta testing team are still thoroughly testing the final builds before release to ensure everythings running smoothly!

Edit: It will be finished when its released

where in aussie u from stevecam?

It wasn't the date I was worried about, I was just curious as to what the big hold up was about.
Time means nothing to me, and NT's probably wont understand that time means nothing to me.

Edit: Melbourne

Well it just goes to show, you can't judge a thread by it's title

Whoops I meant sunday

Yeah you can, thats the point of making a good thread title. So are you happy now though? Or what else do you need.

I'm afraid your going off topic, it I was still relating to the release date, just in a different way

patchou set the release date to saturday because they are still currently finishing off the new msgpluslive.net site, and translations of plus! live

you can not release a program with out translations and a website.

please stop complaining and wait the freaking less then a day

Well for Sydney (Which is where I live) I get it down as being released at 9:40am. And The Fixed time clock that has been posted in this thread confirms it. It also gives the release time for other cities listed

So can you answer me where the 11:03am or 11:30am came from???

I wasn't complaining, I write prorgams myself so i know how hard it is, but why release a release date so accurate when there is no real way of knowing when

I'm saying this whole release date thing is strange, especially for a voluntary job, as you never know what code you have to write next

Ugh. I registered here just to alert you to the fact that you sound like an absoloute idiot. Why can't you just accept the fact that he has set a release date, and stop making such a fuss about it. Your attention seeking has gone beyond annoying, so drop it.

Well Patchou's been developing this for 8 months and beta testing has been going for.

Just to make things clear again: no, the work has not been finished yet, I'm not sitting in my liging room playing Final Fantasy while waiting for my alaram clock to ring to upload every file .

There's 19 hours left on the counter and I'm still wondering how I'll be able to finish editing the web site in time. The software itself has been finished but I'm also waiting for some late submissions from the translators. The release date is precise because I like giving something specific to my users instead of "next week", when possible. If I wait until everything is finished and I'm perfectly happy with the whole thing, I'll never release anything.

well said
