With apologies to Nine Inch Nails.

It has been six months since my last update.

This was not intentional. Prior to this, I was attempting to maintain a cadence of one to two weeks, sometimes slipping to three, between updates.

Unfortunately, in early November, I received this email:

And being the industrious individual that I am, I endeavoured to entirely drain those credits before time ran out. I ran myself ragged in dispatching work to Claude. I stayed up late, woke up early, and found myself acting as I imagine a CPU scheduler would. As a result, my personal projects saw the most productive two months of my life ever.

This was an effort so majestic that it itself took four months to document. It was also rather self-destructive, which is a topic for another day.

Don't try this at home.

It has been over two weeks since my last update. I've worked on a few things, but not a lot: I realised that, after my last update, that I was running myself ragged, and I'd be better served by taking my foot off the pedal and taking things a bit more leisurely, so that's what I did. That's not to say that I did nothing, though...

Last week was a terribly busy week at work, which left me without a lot of energy to work on my own projects. Things should calm down after this, but nevertheless, I am left without much to show for this week.

Between work and social engagements, I had limited time to work on my own personal projects this week.
