Some of you might have noticed that my roadmap is pretty off by some months. Filterscape hasn't been updated, Zebra 2.5 isn't out and RTAS is still in beta development (though stable).
The reason for this has simply been health issues which are thankfully (almost) over:
<GORE>
I've been cursed with an invasion of eye styes from January till recently. At some point these made staring at a screen a quite unpleasant and blurry experience. When they didn't wanna go away, I decided for surgery (sparing you the details). That knocked me out for a week or two.
Later it turned out that the reason for these styes (and a horrible lack of motivation & ability to concentrate) was yet another shitty thing: A bone-deep inflamation of a tooth that I simply hadn't felt - nor has been discovered for at least a year or so, draining energy and outsmarting the immune system. I now have a tooth less and recover from a couple of weeks with daily visits at the dentist.
</GORE>
Anyhow, it wasn't anything serious or life threatening (apart from traumatizing surgeries
), but this stuff pretty much cut down the time I could spend on doing things.Next weeek I'm off to vacation for 3 1/2 weeks and hope to have my batteries recharged for a great round of updates not-in-Q2 but still-in-2008!
Cheers,
Urs
