this has taken a few days longer than i intended and there are reasons for that which are not ideal. in short: pretty much right as i went on vacation i broke my computer in a way that should have been a total loss and it’s currently in the shop for repairs. i do not have an ETA on when i can expect it back. this wouldn’t be such an issue but then on vacation my phone began to throw battery errors and is now basically bricked. luckily, i have a backup computer which i can work from for most things–and i’m typing this from here. this should at least allow me to keep some eyes on the website that i haven’t been able to previously, although not at the same convenience as usual.

but obviously this means i don’t have a few things currently: my main computer or my phone–and maybe not the money to cover these expenses. i am currently on the hook for what is going to be at least $270 and to say the least that is not a trivial amount of money for me. i hope to have that covered but i’m not sure i do.

i will hopefully know by the end of the week what the total cost of all of this is (and hopefully have my computer back by then). i’m also hoping a simple manual battery replacement will solve my phone’s problems in that time (i’ve placed an order which should come in tomorrow). but the circumstances are overall–and as you might be able to tell–not great

    Hi. You don’t know me, but programmer salary means I can foot $270 to help out our beloved admin — you’ve seemed stressed recently.

    DM me on masto or discord (same name everywhere) to figure out how to exchange? 💜
