Well, it’s been quite obvious: August 2015 was not quite a banner month for me in terms of blogging. I’m really sorry about that! Things have 100% absolutely picked up around the office, and a lot of the new responsibilities that I’ve gained have to do with spending time on the computer. You can imagine …
