Brief Hiatus Comments

My brand new Acer laptop decided to have screen problems. Specifically, the back-lighting unit was faulty, so the screen is blacker than coal. Luckily it’s still under warranty. But it’ll be a couple weeks before I get it back in working condition. Considering all the terrible customer “support” I went through to get that far, plus the fact that I just got the laptop last month after my old one—also an Acer—decided to die of the same malady, I am just a little upset.

All this means I’ll be on a temporary blogging hiatus, probably until I’m settled in to my new home in New York City. City of Tides will be back in early January, and it will be so good. We’ve got fresh content cooking, a new focus I’m extremely excited about, and a couple surprises. Until then, everyone have a great holiday season and a happy winter solstice!
