Mike Stevens?

At 12:45 this morning, when I called it quits and went to bed, the most recent Open Mike Night strip was still the Wednesday update. See the following screenshot (which I also sent to Ed at the time):

This morning, http://blindmole.livejournal.com/ says that a new entry was posted at 12:15AM. LiveJournal RSS feeds (http://blindmole.livejournal.com/data/rss ) do not show day and time for new entries, and the Atom feed (http://blindmole.livejournal.com/data/atom ) shows 9:16PM for some reason, but the timestamp in the link for that entry shows 00:16. Seems likely that LJ was slow in making the strip publicly available.

Judges?

And the time stamp:

For his Friday comic seems to show it was posted at 1:14AM Saturday.

Personally I'm hoping he's not out since I'd then have to devote the next series of my Daily Grind stories to killing off Steven, the mouse character I based on Mike's ninja from the first few years of the contest...

If you think the judges are looking at this forum, you'll be waiting a loooong time. Shoot an email to Ed.

I was kind of thinking Ed might check it, since he asked me to start a thread when I emailed him about the Thursday strip. I've gone ahead and shot him an update.

sorry , just recieved emails about this ... okay , im not sure what i can say.

i have dilligently been doing all these as i come home at night from work, so my updates usually run between 11 - 1a.m. eastern time, which i always assumed was cool as this was all based on pacific time.

on the my live journal front page it says that is was uploaded at 12:16 so , im not sure what other problems there could be?

the only thing i can think of is i can send ed my photobucket account info and he can check the photo there and see that the time matches up pretty close to its "said upload time" on my site.

okay , im sorry i didnt get to this sooner i did a 42 mile bike ride yesterday and worked saturday.

also i gotta run to work , so i will email ed that ... but please dont count me out yet. cause ill be at work til 9 tonight so i wont be able to further defend my self haha.

Sorry for the delay on this end. I've sent Xander and Ben the details and will post when we all agree on a decision.

In this instance, Mike is safe.

The RSS feed and photobucket seem to both support that the comic was up on time.

Mike, part of me hates to have to do this again, but it appears the Tuesday, May 17th strip did not get posted in a timely manner. It either went up at 1:07AM Wednesday morning (according to the main LiveJournal page), or at 7:14AM Wednesday morning (according to the Atom feed):

Either way, it looks like it didn't get posted by the deadline this time.

Mike Stevens?
