The quick update didn’t happen earlier this week. It’s been nearly unbelievably busy, culminating now in a big conference at which I’m speaking tomorrow. Throughout the week so far, as I try to cobble together a presentation that at least makes sense, and at most might be somewhat interesting, I’ve been mitigating a series of minor disasters involving a variety of tools I’ve made, specifically computer simulations, that are now in use. When things go wrong with one of those it can result in a disruption around which the stakes are just too high. So that’s taken my free time. No training this week and I’m going crazy. I’ve even smoked a few times. More than a few.

Full story soon, don’t give up.
