Delays and busyness 2018-12-29 10:40pm It has been longer than I'd like since my last phlog update. The holidays have a way of filling things up such that by the time I get a few moments to myself in the evening, I'm already halfway asleep. A lot has been going on behind the scenes though: lots of updates to colorfield.space (such that I am starting to notice the specs of the raspberry pi zero a bit, maybe a feature freeze is in good idea until I can reduce some load and optimize some code... we'll see), my wife's pregnancy has progressed into the 2nd trimester and she is feeling a bit better and is happier (when work isn't stressing her out too much), made it through the holidays with happy family for the most part... though as always there was some drama. All in all things are good. I'm starting to nod off a bit so will wrap this up. I've been enjoying telem on the server. It has been fun to keep up with y'all that way as well. I also just got my first user signup over at colorfield space that was not someone that also maintains an account in the circumlunarverse. Pretty exciting. I also noticed that solderpunk lists colorfield space on the wider circumlunar universe page under "friends and allies", which seems fairly fitting. I would definitely love to find a good way to do some more special connection between us all. At present the server has a command, redcon, to connect to the red consensus. I definitely think of us as neighbors/friends/allies and I am happy to be listed amongst other great projects. Well, ta for real now. I hope to get back to more regular updates soon. Goodnight all, and just in case you don't hear from me before then: have a happy and safe new year!
