Also, I did handwriting analysis (I got some postcards in previous year.), filter out some people. And I could determine the interest of the sender from the postcard picture.
that looks like profiler work ! Anyway I am glad to know one of my card made it to HK ! I can safely assume the rest of them reached their destinations in EU
Happy new year, thanks for the cards, and the sweets and such. Special thanks to Sim1 and Starchaser for your extra effort, the Finnish post had failed to send me any indication of a packet waiting, got it 3 days before it would have been returned/trashed. I'm still expecting to get a couple more cards during January, extends the festive period nicely to the new year :)
I got my card today from OhLi, messy, and the Christmas gnome. 🙂
another received, thank you seism :)
By my count I've received all the cards. Thank you for all the wonderful and weird, creative and pretty things. We had some relatives visiting and a young one asked how we have such weird christmas cards on display.
Also thanks for all the stickers. I'll be sure to put the amigaaaaaaaaa sticker on a laptop cover.

I got three of my five expected cards so far. Thanks a bunch to Spiny, RaccoonViolet and Luisa!
This was my first time and it's clear that I have to step up my game for next year :)

Thank you to everyone who sent me cards, I've received 8 of 10 so far, beautiful work!
Now that we're in January I might as well link this to everyone else: my card had the full Lua source code to this effect: https://tic80.com/play?cart=4051 printed on the front. A little type-in throwback for a digital greeting card!

Thanks Mindiell. All (10) cards received now. :-)
I got a nice moire card and stickers from jtruk today and another card from Dozer with a 3D printed star ornament made of concentric separately rotatable rings in it. 🙂
Thanks a lot Ohli, Tezar and Franky! Only one to go.
All but 2 cards received here, thanks all!
Also received one of my own cards back (from Switzerland), not sure what to do about that...

BTW if you want to know who your senders are to double check you got everything, that's now available on the website.
If you don't want to know, it requires you click something to reveal it so you're safe to view your page.

^ cool, i'm at 4/6 and that tallies with the 'sent' on my list, so 2 more to receive at some point hopefully :)
All five now received :) Thanks Steffest and Tezar!
So by year end I got cards from Steffest, Tezar and FRaNky too. Hugz. That makes 9/11 (pun not intended). While of course waiting for the other 2, it was a great year, and just doubled down on loving the initiative. I surely hope you'll repeat that this year Starchaser :)
" 0 out of 1 senders have marked their card as sent." :(
My cards were mysterously no longer marked as sent as well, even though I am very sure I checked the boxes when I sent the cards November. Could be a similar issue with your sender. Unfortunately there is also still no tracking progress on those cards, so if my recipients from Belgium and France read this here: Please let me know if the cards actually arrived.
Finally back from 38C3 and rsync, and can check my post again. I Recieved three more cards from OhLi, Seism and Steffest, making 9 out of 11 cards total. Comparing to the list, I'm only missing cards from Enfys and HappyDude. I've already spoken to Enfys about the exchange, but please let me know if you did end up sending a card or not HappyDude :)
2 out of 4 received..Same here...Let's hope happyDude is OK :)
I have many problems with sending comming from the country of HappyDude.
Be VEEEEERY patient (and I mean it) if you are living on the old lands...

People have gotten stuff in the past from HappyDude, including myself. I can vouch. Canada Post had a strike last year and all so I wouldn't be surprised if stuff is quite delayed.

That's odd considering I didn't touch the database except to make backups, just in case. (They'll get deleted with the primary online data at the end of this month.)
I wonder if something happened that made it look like the box got checked but it didn't send to the backend. The sent checkboxes work like old web <form>s when JavaScript is off, but if JS is on, then they send their state to the server behind the scenes.

Hopefully they did send it and it's just delayed.
Not everyone marks their cards as sent, and it's not a requirement to do so. The sent checkboxes are largely for senders to keep track of things if not sending them all at once.
They weren't really intended to be exposed, but figured it wasn't the worst when I added the ability to see the people sending you cards.
Also, I've not looked as I don't peer into people's matching data unless I'm specifically by themselves, but if you got someone from Canada, as noted above, it might be very delayed because of last year's postal strike.
So far a 3doscopish card from Dozer and a Moiree XMas of the Art from jtruk arrived.
Very stylish, mates :D
Last one is still missing, hope its just stuck and not lost.
Hope my cards arrived well, too - especially the one to overseas.
