« Photowalking Tomorrow Morning at 7 am in Half Moon BayZooomr Mark III: What Happened »

僕は今日本にいます！(I’m here in Japan!) [UPDATED DATE!]

by Kristopher Tate | 5 April 2007 | Adventures, General | 42 Comments

Hey my Japanese friends, I’m currently in Shinagawa right now at the Shinigawa Prince Hotel (品川プリンスホテル 港区高輪４丁目１０−３０) for two nights and wanted to know if any Zooomr users from Japan might be able to come out tomorrow (４月６日(金)) < -- Correction! ???

Please let me know in the comments below or call my room at the hotel (電話番号 03-3440-1111 部屋番号 3-1125) — I have limited Internet access here in Shinagawa, so calling the hotel and leaving me a message would be awesome (日本語でもOKですよ :) ).

With love,

-Kristopher

    Hey Kristopher! Glad to see you getting a break. I hope you enjoy your trip.

    I have a good friend over there. I’ll try to email him. He’s on Zooomr, but not too often.

    Take care.

    Dude, awesome video composition- I love the soundtrack. Reminds me of the montage from Lost in Translation :)

    Take it easy-

    Where’s Thomas Hawk?

    Have much fun and rest as much as you can!

  8. Shwouchk said on 5 Apr 2007 at 6:04 pm:

    Jonh - if you were talking about comments like the first one here, then I totally agree with you!

    @Tim and Shwouchk: I’m sorry for the little error but I’m not English or American.
    I think that a project to be serios should respect its roadmap and Kristopher promised us that MarkIII would have relesead 3 weeks ago and this didn’t happen and users weren’t properly informed and they still wait this major upgrade.

    I love the video as well. Have fun on your trip.

    hi Kristopher!

    i hope you really enjoy your trip…

    i totally agree with Shwouchk:

    Have much fun and rest as much as you can!

    and i totally disagree with this nonsense:

    I think that a project to be serious [cut]

    i think, imho, that zooomr rocks :P

    With love,

    I agree that you deserve a break, but I also think that it would have been much better to tell us that rather than just going silent and suddenly appearing in japan a few weeks later? I was about to join and upload all my photos. Then Mark III was reverted (no biggie, those things happen) for a while to work out the kinks. But we didn’t get any updates or notice that it was going to take longer than expected.

    That doesn’t help my confidence in the longevity of the site so I’m not sure about spending my time to upload everything.

    But none of this is intended to bear down on you, I’m just asking to not keep us in the dark so we can set our expectations correctly. You’ve taken on a enormous task in coding this site yourself and deserve a break to regenerate, for sure. I’ve been there and can understand.

  13. Tiago said on 6 Apr 2007 at 7:31 am:

    or at least go public with a new roadmap and try to stick to it.

    Anyway, great work!

    I’m of the opinion that you are extremely lucky that the vast majority of Zooomr users aren’t paying you a dime. Because this is certainly no way to run a business.

    Hi! I really like you movie. Can you tell me, how you’ve created it? You put your camera on a tripod and programed it to take a picture every minute?

  16. だりん said on 6 Apr 2007 at 10:55 pm:

    あららら。 I’m too late. You’ve already checked out. How long will you be here? Send me an email with a phone number and I’ll call you and see what’s up.

    - Darin

    According to his twitter page, Kristopher has just left Japan, so I’m afraid you missed him Darin.

  18. だりん said on 7 Apr 2007 at 2:57 am:

    Doh! Who comes to Japan for two days and doesn’t say anything in advance. >|

  19. Benjamin Watt said on 7 Apr 2007 at 3:58 am:

    Well, he was in Japan for just over a week, I guess just in different parts.

    Hi Kristopher, wonder if someone already notified you about this: the upload via email feature doesn’t seem to work yet.

    Apologies for mentioning this in the blog, however the “Contact” link in “About Zooomr” is inactive and I failed to find other way to contact you, so here it is.

    Wishing you great success with Zooomr.

    Where is Thomas Hawk?

  23. elif said on 9 Apr 2007 at 4:12 am:

    He’s around… just back from a weekend trip, apparently. (see http://thomashawk.com/ ) Not sure why he hasn’t commented here at all this past week.
