Yo,

Just a quick message pursuant to last week’s update.

Everything is fine; nothing is ruined.

That’s good to know, right? Or do you think that’s incredibly suspicious. Okay, let me explain.

Last week, I narrowly avoided a hard disk failure — yes, the Angry Games Main Computer was still using a mechanically spinning plate of magnets — by replacing my drive with a shiny new layered wafer cookie of solid state storage. I also took the time, since my system was down, to switch operating systems, do a major cleanup, adopt some better security and disaster recovery protocols — given my previous disaster recovery plan was “Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance” — and, for an encore, do some maintenance, cleaning, and repairs in my home office that had been ignored for too long.

Let me repeat that everything is fine and nothing is ruined. All went as expected except for the part where I decided I’d get all of that done in eight hours over two days. Because it’s me and that’s how I do time management.

Anyway… this week’s Early Access Feature is in process. It won’t be live tomorrow, but it will be live Friday, and this does not represent derailing the whole content plan. Honestly, the fact that a major overhaul like this is only giving me a two-day delay puts me light years ahead of last month when you were getting the second article of the month on the 28th.

Meanwhile, if I continue to be a little radio silent for the next few days, don’t panic. Because everything is fine and nothing is ruined.
