This week's AGameAWeek wasn't finished by the usual Tuesday deadline, and I still have oodles of coding to do.
I said to myself, late on Sunday, "OK, I'll make it a two-weeker" at which point my body seemed to give a huge sigh of release, and switch off completely!

For the past few days, I've been sniffling and my throat is KILLING me!!
My bedroom bin has so many tissues in it that it looks ... Kinda.. Um...

So, yeah, that's typical, that is..
I give my body space to breath, and it gives up.
Gee, thanks, body!!

Aw well, back to the newsletter..

HotShot is having issues with OneDrive, but simply closing the app means it just restarts the next time.

Fan projects.. They never quite go smoothly, as these particular Star Trek fans are finding out.
