[color=#000000ost_uid0]I don't really know what to say. Â I think this is the longest I've ever gone between updates, and that's saying something. Â What's worse, though, is that this time I don't even have the excuse of something like the Version 3.0 redesign -- what I've delayed with is the AU Week wrapup, which shouldn't be a big deal at all, and shouldn't have taken a fraction of this time.


I don't have it ready tonight, but it [iost_uid0]is[/iost_uid0] in progress. Â By now there's no further point in being coy about the nature of the update: as some of you have probably already guessed, there's more to it than the third-anniversary comments I said were coming. Â I intend to be done by Sunday at the latest, and when I am, there will be new material and a fairly important announcement. Â (I'll also explain why I didn't say this material was coming.)


I'm truly sorry to everyone involved here, especially Kira, who organized this whole event perfectly only to see me blow the ending to hell. Â In a sad kind of way, it makes sense for this site's big anniversary celebration to involve massive delays on my part -- what could be truer to how I've run things these past three years? -- but this is the last such disgrace I intend to perpetrate. Â And I do know how I'm going to back that comment up.


See you in a few days. Â Once again, I'm sorry.[/colorost_uid0]
