Little black box.

I know I am making a habit of saying it, but it really does seem like forever since I posted here. Unfortunately this has been largely unavoidable - my working hours have been long and with the little free time I've had, I have pretty much been putting partner/family first. But that's the way it should be, right?

Even so, I am finding that I miss the community and I still feel that I have a lot to accomplish here - inside and outside OB.

I have put a little plan into action (well, two little plans I suppose). These plans are designed to help me achieve more with less time. The first idea is to set down an hour each weeknight to attend to online things. The second idea is to organise a way to begin paying people for certain services (this is something I will probably be making announcements about on OB at some stage shortly).

So much has happened in the last few weeks that I can't even begin to process it all. It has been a particularly tough time for me, as my little brother was involved in a serious car accident two weeks ago - he is still in hospital recovering, but his best friend died in the crash. It was severe enough to make national news, unfortunately. My brother will make a full recovery though, which is a relief...but I have been into the hospital every single day, which is taking a toll at this point.

And then on top of that there's the stuff with AnimeFF, which is probably something you all are now very familiar with. I don't have much to say that hasn't already been said, except to point out that if you operate in a shady and disrespectful manner...this is what happens to you. The guy who ran AnimeFF (or who represented it) is now infamous in the industry. It will be very difficult for him to operate again in any decent capacity - this is really a result of his own actions. Unfortunately though, a lot of people have been hurt in the process (not least of which being a major charity).

I'll end it here because there's just too much to say and not enough time, but yes...I am alive and hopefully I will have the chance to update this thing a bit more often in future.
