Uncommon Cents

Sorry, it’ll take a little while more to get back on track here. I had to urgently (although expectedly) change the brake pads on my truck. This took a lot more out of me than I thought it would.

I hope to be back on track real soon now. My apologies.

My apologies for thre longer than expected absence. Philadelphia proved very entertaining and the Livestrong Challenge proved more than challenging (but that’s a tale for another blog). My thanks to Team Fat Cyclist Philly, especially my captain the amazing Philly Jen, roommate Tommy, and tammate Philly Maggi. I wish you guys and the rest of Team Fatty lived right up the road.

I’m still on vacation but we’ll be back to our usual Uncommon Cents goodness in a few days.

I’m officially on vacation from both of my jobs, so this blog will also be in vacation mode as I travel to Philadelphia for the Livestrong Challenge.

It’s been awhile since I updated everyone on the state of the blog here; I’ve been busy with various projects whether they’re programming, podcasting, training, or other blogs–or just plain old life.

Uncommon Cents continues to be profitable, and our publishing schedule continues to be largely on track, even though there are times when things are better and times when things are worse. In the last few months I’ve actually taken the occasional break from blogging here while dealing with other projects or family emergencies.

I’m hoping to get things on an even more consistent schedule in the future. Thanks for reading!

Sorry about last week; I had so much work to do on my project for KansasFest, even though for the first time in many, many years I chose to stay home rather than attend.

That and training for Livestrong Philadelphia next month took tons of time.

Back to our usual Uncommon Cents postings tomorrow.

I have a major project due in a week so expect posts to be sporadic. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I’m sorry, I was involved with helping out with a Twitter wedding, also known as the #whitetwedding2010 on July 7, 2010 and it totally wiped me out. I apologize for not updating this blog on Thursday, July 8, 2010.

I’m taking today off to train and write code since it’s when Independence Day in the United States is celebrated this year. Be back with more tomorrow!

I was planning to get back into full swing now that my vacation’s technically over, but we had some news that’s not the best: my aunt in Seattle passed away unexpectedly. So I’ll be dealing with that (including getting my mother and aunt who live on island to Seattle) for a bit. My apologies.

I’m on vacation (a forced one because I’m at my maximum for vacation accrual, but a vacation nonetheless) so expect posts to be sporadic for a few days.
