Greetings from Ontario!

Not really; I got home a short while ago. I've been on vacation this week. I've checked in on the forums all week via rented WiFi and my iPad, but no there's no actual development news because there's been no actual development. (That hasn't stopped some really interesting forum conversations from coming up, though, directing me to possible new feature/optimization ideas.)

I'd share my pictures taken from the lake, but--alas!--the camera I borrowed to do it had no cord so I'll have to wait for those. I got some shots of loons that I suspect are blurry (the photos, not the loons), and some nice evening sky against the treeline. I did not get a shot of the full moon over the water last night, though I should have.

You know what really sucks? Leaving behind perfectly good A/C to go up to a cabin with no air conditioning whatsoever, during a week when there are two days above 90°. Not fun sleeping weather. It also sucks to find out that sometime between Tuesday and Friday, my car's A/C--recently recharged--appears to have died. At least with windows open it was a manageable trip back.

Normally on my vacation I try to read through a number of books. This week I only got through one: Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell. It was highly recommended to me several years ago, and I was reminded of it recently by seeing previews for the miniseries--which of course now I'll have to watch. I found the book entirely excellent, and recommend it in turn to anyone who enjoys a good fantastical read and likes (or can deal with) the pervasive Englishness of the novel.

As of right now I'm experiencing the post-vacation sensation that the entire room is moving. I have no idea why this happens (I wasn't on the boat all that much, and the cabin seemed to rock way less than usual), but it always takes a few days to go away. Along with that, I swear the fans in here sound like the rough waves of the lake against the dock.

Development resumes Monday.
