No need to apoplogize.

I'll tell you in public what I told you several times in private.

Life always comes first. This is a hobby. It should be fun, it should be a
way to do something to like with other people (whom you hopefully like).

Take care of yourself. And when you feel like hacking on Subsurface again,
send those patches :-)


But while we are on the topic, a quick note to the team in general. I have
been somewhat absent myself.

Subsurface is run on a server that I own in a colo that I pay for.
System administration is done by me. While that gives me a lot of control
(and trust me, I am a control freak), from time to time it is a pain in
the rear. Now is such a time :-)
For a number of reasons I decided to get a new server (see the "server
that I own" comment above) and am in the process of migrating everything
to that new server. And while doing that I am trying to move from "random
jumble of thrown together hacks that work most of the time" to a somewhat
more structured setup. And that's taking a lot more time than I was hoping
it would.

So bear with me. I'm sure I'll break the infrastructure big time in the
near future. But hopefully it will be all better afterwards. In the mean
time, please keep working on Subsurface. I know I'm slow pulling patches
but hopefully that phase will soon be over.

/D
