What can I tell you · 158 days ago

Gosh, thickest summer. It’s nice right now: Herself and I are swimming backstroke in a big big pool of quiet, as the kids are away with relatives for August. The roads are slow with Dutch sedans pulling caravans full of blond children. The town is overrun now and again, this weekend by thousands of doe-eyed, dreadlocked wastrels here to get baked and listen to reggae. The vines are ripening, because the sun is relentless. The dogs, they pant.

Timewise, it’s still all about this and this, the former now serving thousands of customers, growing in leaps and bounds, and the latter, after four years of fit/start development, to be officially Released to the world this week. Fancy that.

And, hey, seriously, you should definitely know about Strongspace, new from TextDrive: a superslick, supersecure, super-easy-to-use storage service that fills the gap for anyone wanting to restore a backup of their laptop from anywhere in the world, or wanting a secure archive of critical data, or a dropbox for sharing files, or just a big safe locker for anything they’d hate to lose. It’s downright neat.
