For those wondering about my general inactivity recently, this is why:
Almost two weeks ago, Silke and I became the owners of this wonderful 80-plus-year-old house. Since then, I’ve been spending my evenings and weekends stripping wallpaper and being a general handyman. I’ll post some photos of the work when I have time, which probably won’t be any time soon.
Since timing was never my strong suit, Silke and I are leaving for Germany on Wednesday and staying there for a full two weeks. We’ll be staying in Heidelberg, her home town, but we’ll probably travel around a bit and enjoy the various Christmas markets. We’ll get back to our house on the 28th. Then my brother and his family will come to town to help us move over New Years weekend. I really wish I had more of the rooms painted and finished by now, but so it goes.
I probably won’t get back to any Gnome stuff until after feature freeze. So unless Don or Brent have any plans, what you see is what you get for Yelp this time around. (But next time around, we’re going to hit you with the Spoon-Mallard double whammy!) When I do jump back in, I’ll probably just be a non-hacker and work on our documentation.
So merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, joyous solstice, and look out for the wall.
