What a time to get a stomach bug.
« on: October 22, 2009, 09:09:31 am »
Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that I may be a bit... off and on... with the forums and such today.  My wife was home sick with a stomach bug yesterday, and today I've got it.  What fun!  So I'm going to try and take care of everything that is time-sensitive, of course, but otherwise I'm going to try and lay low and get over this thing.  The good news is that my wife was feeling better after around 16 hours of being sick, so hopefully that will hold true for me.  Only 14 hours to go, then...

On the plus side it does give you an excuse to get away from the computer and catch up on some sleep you haven't been getting for the past couple of weeks. ;)

     Funny, I was feeling really ill this morning too - I thought I was going to have to stay home all day, drink tea, and play 2.0.  Your ill sounds like less fun than mine though - I hope it passes soon!

Thanks, guys. :)

Aside from dealing with any press inquiries, or anything drastic that requires my input specifically on the forums, I'm going to try to take it easy, as suggested.

The body takes its break after all the stress ;) Don't worry about it x4000 - we will survive without daily pre-releases for a while  ;D

Hey, look on the bright side. You got it now AFTER the big 2.0 Steam release, so this just gives you an excuse to take a break and rest.

Yeah, no kidding, the timing was at least pretty good.  I was asleep for around three hours in the middle of the day, and come back to around 50 emails (literally).  So pretty busy day anyway, but still better than it would have been yesterday!

Most definitely! Don't feel that you have to do work just because we want to see new toys; we're perfectly happy to wait a while if you're sick!

Who are these "we" persons that you are referring to?
