I’m sure some of you who follow our news feed may notice that, lately, the feed is pretty slow during the day then has a burst of activity towards the evening. That’s because I’ve been swamped with work at my day job lately since my contract ends in two weeks and it doesn’t look like they have the budget to extend it a third time. Which means they want me to do as many things finished for them as possible before they get short-handed when I’m gone. Unfortunately, though, I still don’t have anything lined up for when this ends, which is really bad news.

Stay safe out there everyone.
