Been a minute, friends. There are no excuses, I kind of lost myself for a minute. I may do a proper catch-up one day, more than likely on the Geekdown Substack page, which isn’t exactly prolific either, but it’s been updated more recently than this site and it doesn’t require me to spend two days fighting with every UI “improvement” unleashed in the last three years.1
