I'm hoping to take a few weeks off while looking for something new and interesting to do.

We'll see how that goes. One thing that I did do to get myself motivated to work on stuff is that I bought a Mac with an m1 processor... having one of those in front of me hopefully will motivate me to tackle all the missing pieces to get that working... and of course there are a million other things in the back log that won't result in new features, but in extending the life of the things that we already have working today.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">If there are things that you think I SHOULD be working on - please drop me a note :)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">All the best</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">/D</div></body></html>
