Hey guys,

Sorry it’s been a minute since our last update. You know what they say, when it’s rains, it kicks you in the teeth and steels your wallet.

Essentially, this post is an apology for the lack of updates, and perhaps something of an explanation so you can continue to feel warm and fuzzy about the project and its continuation.

The explanation is essentially that life has become quite unwieldy. When we moved to Colorado about eight months ago, our internet was slow but useable. For various reasons, all of which have been entirely outside of our control, it has gone from slow-but-usable to unusable-but-slow. Or something like that. David will spare you all the details of how long-range directional WiFi is a thing, how it can’t penetrate the turbidity generated by record-setting forest fires, the unbelievable latency caused by satellite internet needing to send your data to space and back, or the unreliability of LTE services like T-Mobile when you live just to the left of the middle of nowhere. We’ll even spare you the “B-plot” of David needing to have his MacBook Pro’s logic board replaced three times across two computers. Some viewers will just think we jumped the shark at that point.

Anyway, suffice to say that as a web developer, David needs the internet to do his job. This combined with the unprecedented COVID times and Starbucks not being open for freelancer squatters has made it very difficult to get our hustling done, side or main.

The good news is that we will shortly be moving to a land flowing with gigabit Ethernet. The kind of connection that feels like it downloaded that cat video before you even knew you needed to watch it. There will be a couple more weeks of slow progress while we move boxes from point A to point B, but after that, you can expect work to progress quite quickly as both of us miss working on Relight and are very excited to get back to it.

TL;DR: Sorry. We’ve been having internet issues preventing us from working on Relight, we’re moving, expect updates to start flowing again sometimes soon.
