The shop has been finally put to rest. We're leaving the site up for posterity, but you can't buy anything any more. Thanks for all your support over the years!

December 2010

Stock dwindling so removed sold out products from the shop. The Knuth shirts are completely sold out now - the last four shirts went to Donald Knuth himself - he wants his family to be his homeboys too ;)

Will probably not accept any more orders after 31/12/2010. It's been a fun ride but it's time to move on.

July 2010

After umming and ahhing about it for ages, we've finally decided to close the shop.

We're too busy with our day jobs to give it the time and attention it deserves - no new designs in three years is just disgraceful - so we've decided to call it a day.

We've still got some stock - a very limited amount of Schneier shirts but a fuller range of Knuth, Stallman ones & ELER ones; and some Schneier & Stallman stickers. We won't be ordering any more stock though so once they're gone, they're gone - and we've reduced the prices of shirts a bit to help them go.

It's a shame that it is coming to an end and we are looking into ways to possibly keep the designs alive - I'll update this page with the details if they come to anything.

If you've got any questions/comments etc about this, please get in touch - shop @ geekz dot co dot uk

Sorry for dropping off the radar for a while re: news updates.

The state of play now:

Che Stallman - we're out of XL but an order is going to the printers this week so should be back in stock in a few weeks.

Knuth shirts - we've got all sizes in stock.

Schneier shirts - we're out of XXXL, the rest are in stock.

ELER - all in stock

11th June 2009

We're out of XL Bruce Schneier shirts too now. Still haven't moved house (my mortgage/estate agent/bank rant is reaching epic proportions now) so we're still reluctant to restock. We *should* be moved in a few weeks though so we *should* be able to restock over the summer. Again, email shop@geekz.co.uk if you want notification when we do get everything back in stock.

14th May 2009

Bruce Schneier shirts in Large size are currently out of stock. As with the Knuth Mediums below, I don't know when we'll be ordering a new batch from the printers but hopefully we'll be moving in a few weeks now (*insert rant about mortgages and estate agents here*) so we should be able to order some more shirts soon - just can't say when exactly. Email shop@geekz.co.uk if you want to be notified when we get them back in stock.

2nd March 2009

Knuth shirts in Medium size are currently out of stock. Don't know when we'll be ordering a new batch from the printers (moving house soon, want to avoid carrying extra boxes ;) ) but email shop@geekz.co.uk if you want to be notified when we get them back in stock.

5th January 2009

John was lying about the lack of shirt sales thing in the first-in-a-year ELER comic strip - but there was a bit of a delay sending them out over Christmas due to Louisa (chief shirt packer/deputy teamaker) having time off and the Post Office being closed. All orders over Christmas/New Year are in the post now.

Oh, and we've had a few queries asking if we're going to expand the range since our designs have been static for chuffing ages now. We'd love to get more stuff for sale as we've got lots of ideas but it's a problem with time and space problem - in that we don't have enough of either of them at the moment. John's busy running his wonderful Rails hosting company Brightbox and our current stock is taking up so much space in our tiny office that Louisa doesn't even have room for a proper desk. Maybe we'll get ourselves better organised at some point though.

14th November 2008

A quick FYI: we've had a rush of orders thanks to that picture below. If you ordered before 4pm GMT yesterday, your shirt went in the post yesterday (first class/airmail as appropriate) and orders after 4pm GMT yesterday will go in the post on Monday (am busy with other stuff today I'm afraid). Airmail to the US takes 5-7 days apparently then all the geek kudos shall be yours. ;)

12th November 2008

We got sent a link to this fabulous photo at the weekend - Knuth throwing all kinds of homeboy hand signs at the Knuth-is-my-homeboy tshirt. Teehee. (The wearer of the tshirt is Jacob Appelbaum who, funnily enough, took the original photo that we used in the shirt.) Way cool. :)

16th September 2008

All sizes of Schneier shirts are now back in stock - hurrah! All outstanding orders will be sent out today.

19th August 2008

We're out of Large Schneier shirts as well now so are trying to get so more of all sizes reprinted. Not sure when they'll be with us yet though - suspect it'll probably be a month. Please email shop@geekz.co.uk if you'd like notification if/when they in stock again.

13th August 2008

We're out of Medium size Schneier shirts. Don't know if we'll be ordering a new batch from the printers but email shop@geekz.co.uk if you want to be notified if/when we get them back in stock.

8th July 2008

Oopsy, forgot to say we got a reprint of the Knuth shirts done a couple of months ago so they're back in stock now. Still out of Schneier W12 size though.

LugRadio Live 2008: We're not having a stall at LRL this year - the last two years have been great but we're not having one this year since we haven't got any new designs or anything fun to showcase. We'll still be there though :)

10th February 2008

We're out of Small size Knuth shirts. Don't know when we'll be ordering a new batch from the printers as we've got healthy stocks of the other sizes but email shop@geekz.co.uk if you want a message when they're back in stock.

31st January 2008

All Che Stallman sizes are now back in stock - Small, Mediums, Women's sizes, everything. Woo.

2nd December 2007

If you're looking to buy the geek in your life a wonderfully geeky tshirt in time for Christmas, here are the final ordering dates for this year:

UK - 18th December 2007

Europe - 11th December 2007

Australia & New Zealand - 4th December 2007

These are the Royal Mail last posting dates with a couple of days processing time added in for us to pack up the shirt/stickers etc. Unfortunately we can't really guarantee these dates - they're just recommended by Royal Mail - but we'll do our best to make sure your items are in the post in time, with the rest just up to our/your postal services.

6th November 2007

We're out of Women's size 12 Schneier shirts - probably not back in stock until at least the new year. Email shop@geekz.co.uk if you'd like notification when they in stock again.

25th July 2007

Louisa did her re-ordering maths wrong and we've sold out of the "small" size of the Che Stallman design already. Probably won't have any more in stock until the new year - email shop@geekz.co.uk if you want a message when they're back in stock.

13th July 2007

After a longer than anticipated turnaround from the printers, all the shirt sizes are finally back in stock. We'll be getting back orders out in the next couple of days.

8th May 2007

The largest size (XXXL) Knuth & Schneier, and the Women's size 12 Schneier shirts have sold out. It'll probably be a couple of months before we order any more from the printers. Email us at shop@geekz.co.uk if you want to get a message when they're back in stock.
