You, my loyal readers, know that nuances of time have always escaped me.  I mean... I once confidently stated that open beta would begin in early spring.  Then "sometime this summer".  Now?  Alas, now I'm forced to say fall.   There remains too much to do, though we do draw slowly but surely closer.

Most recently, for me personally, work has been insane; summer semester of school has been insane; these two things led to not a whole lot of time being spent on Khali.  My vacation started this week, and I figured great! a chance to start catching up!  But my body - o, traitorous body - decided that my free time would be better  spent catching up on eight months of lost sleep.  I don't know where it gets off making decisions like that without my approval; but I guess I'm stuck with it.  So the first half of my vacation has been spent doing vacationy stuff during the day, and ... erm, sleeping at night. 

But now the vacationy stuff is out of the way; my body is rested and seems willing to return to its usual 5-6 hours a night.  I'll be catching up on the backlog of Stuff in the next week, both for Khali, and my nwn2 community involvement.  This means you can expect a large number of new areas (stuff piling up to be imported) for testing; necessary candy for the writers; some new scripts and NPCs.  Plugin updates.   A return to my usual spam posting level on the bioboards.  The whole works!

After next week, I return again to full time work, and full time school -- but classes are mostly easy ones this semester, and the huge project at work is winding down; so overall I should remain a bit more present and active than I've been this summer.  Not to mention more awake.
