Sorry, folks, we are having some backend database problems this morning. We are sorting it out right now. The icons will go up as soon as we get the rouble mended. I know it sucks, but we are doing our best to get it fixed as soon as we can...

I'm not sure what icons you have, because there wasn't a pre-release...

Tarambana · May 4, 2004, 12:29 PM

But whatever. At least in this case there was a release date.

LOL I know what you mean. I had to SLAP myself and tell myself, "They're ICONS, you moron, not the winning numbers for the PowerBall!" (But I still want them, and I want them NOW.) They go so-o-o-o nice with my Rev.2 Drives.

devboy · May 4, 2004, 07:19 PM

No, sadly, I'm not able to download them.

stndrddc · May 4, 2004, 07:23 PM

If you know what to do you can find them.

devboy · May 4, 2004, 07:25 PM

I've tried everything, I've FTPed, I've Afped.

Damn you Dave!

k.mo · May 4, 2004, 07:26 PM

Pixelhuset seems like an excellent place to release them...

devboy · May 4, 2004, 07:32 PM

We need to boycott "Iconfactory.com" until the release the set in the next half-hour.

Nope they're not kidding, I'm looking at them right now

Hah, how about that. I never even checked the preview images. I was comparing it to other icon sets (like WOA and addind '2' to it). I got it now, lol.

*feels dumb after that*

k.mo · May 4, 2004, 08:08 PM

lol , you should've said the URL of the preview images the first time

Using them now

ender2002 · May 4, 2004, 08:10 PM

Tarambana · May 4, 2004, 08:14 PM

He, he, he

Great. Now I can finally go back to work.

dcc777 · May 4, 2004, 08:20 PM

JudieKaren · 08:32 PM

Please give better HINTS (like posting the link) for us blondes! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE?

I tried this: http://iconfactory.com/sets/woaf_icn.bin (no such page). Am I getting warm???

I was trying to get the *folder* of icons. Are you guys getting the Pixadex or CandyBar download? (I've got both apps). PRETTY PLEASE?

Caesar2099 · May 4, 2004, 08:52 PM

Come on people it's sooooo easy. Do I have to baby you guys? Here I'll make an equation for you

Woo Hoo! I got folders! Thank you SO-O-O-O MUCH!!!

Dave Brasgalla · May 5, 2004, 04:57 AM

The delay of the Rev.2 release at the 'factory is caused by our continuing database problems. Since everything at IF is built on a rather large co-ordinated system (and believe me, there is a lot to co-ordinate) and we have traffic in the area of 20,000-30,000 unique sessions per day, it's important to get it working right - especially given that fact that we are doing secure financial transactions on a daily basis. This has to take precedence over something like a freeware release, which is really something we do as a hobby.

Add in the fact that we have constant, ongoing client projects and deadlines like any other design studio, and we can quickly run out of time on a given day (I myself had two major project deadlines yesterday on top of a nasty springtime cold). I know the Greensboro and Laguna Beach staff are doing everything they can to get things sorted.

I know people were patiently waiting (and ironically the icons were finished and ready on time), but I'm sure one can appreciate how we have to prioritize tasks. I'm sorry we missed the release date, but it was an unrelated circumstance that caused it.

At any rate, the point seems moot, since folks here seem to have found a way to carry the icons out the "back door". No harm done, I suppose...

"I can't believe it, Jim. That girl's standing over there listening and you're telling him about our back doors?"
"Mister Potato Head! Mister Potato Head! Back doors are not secrets! "
"Yeah, but Jim, you're giving away all our best tricks!"
"They're not tricks."

fg · May 5, 2004, 05:23 AM

The icons are so nice. A big thanks for making them Dave. I actually only have one thing to complain about, and that is that there seem to be no open/drop state on the generic folder icon. But that is no big deal.

Thanks and keep up the good work.

cube3 · May 5, 2004, 05:24 AM

The back door is cosed Jimmy, I repeat, the back door is closed!

S A V E D · May 5, 2004, 05:48 AM

I got the folders and they are now saved on my HD. Haha, yes it was simple....

sauo · May 5, 2004, 06:54 AM

Oh man,, indeed it was so easy... Answer is here

Such a nice set!! Yeah!!! David You rock man!
I understand people who want it now. Especialy when others got it...

sixz · May 5, 2004, 07:30 AM

Could have used some color to define what was what - at 16X and even
32X they look almost identical to each other. Reminds me of something
wackypixel would do - except IF does do some freeware.

Nice big - 'poor at a glance' with those smaller sizes.

joltguy · May 5, 2004, 08:15 AM

Thanks Dave for another well-executed set, and especially for the 3G iPod icons! I can't wait for WOA 5! What was the release date for that set again?

Beautiful stuff!
