Sharing my post on Nerd In Sight (crossposted):
Hey everyone,
I’m going to be honest: I have only been writing the past couple of weeks because of contractual obligations that have bound me into doing so. You’ve likely noticed I’ve been very quiet otherwise — there is a reason (actually: many reasons) for that, and I’m sure I will talk about it in due time, once things aren’t so fresh.
But as the primary writer here, it is my job to keep this site regularly updated, which becomes increasingly hard when I’m going through a lot of very difficult-to-process things in my personal life.1
As such, Nerd In Sight is taking a “spring recess” until at least 16th April, 2026. While this date seems perfect for me at the moment and should give me ample time to rest and recover, it could go longer if I’m not well enough to pick up where I left off at that time. Let’s play it by ear, okay?
There are 15,000+ strong reading every month here now, which is just mind-blowing to me. Thank you for being here! I hope to see all of you back here very soon.
Look, I’d very much like to forget March ever happened. This has been a terrible month–with one bad day after the next. But you know the old saying,“when it rains, it pours?” Turns out, it’s true!
I’m hoping to ease back in after a trip I have coming up. I’ve been trying to catch up on messages but I’m so very behind. I don’t know if I’ll catch up for a bit. Sorry if that includes you.
I’ll be back soon,
Slade
