Is it just me, or did the blog skip over one day?

I'm in +2 GMT timezone, and that could be enough to push a post over the midnight, but since it's happened two, very nearly three times now... Am I missing something, or did they accidentally not post anything on Friday the 21st?

They mentioned in an earlier post that they'd be cutting back on posts.

This one?

Also, they didn't actually say they were cutting back on posts, but they were THINKING about doing that. See the comment on the next day's post:

So this is the first of these all polished and shiny new posts.. Nice. er...

Nah, this isn't one of those yet. :) We are still thinking about it.

I find it unlikely that it'd happen so accidentally, and so sporadically - skipping one day in over a month?

Is it... really that big of a deal?
Please don't turn this into another complaint about their posting frequency, the last one really split up the community.

Yeah, I'm actually kind of glad Armored_Wolf has stopped posting as much. He really knew how to tear the community apart.

No, but if they wrote up a post and accidentally didn't post it, I'd hate for the effort to be wasted.

I'm sure they'd get around to it the next day. Maybe ask one of them on IRC if that's the case?

Don't worry. They're game developers, not professional bloggers.

Perl is designed to give you several ways to do anything, so consider picking the most readable one.

I've made enough jokes about Twitter addicts and bloggers to say I'd hope they aren't. :lol:

I'm sure if there was something they forgot to post then it probably wasn't anything worth posting.

No, it's me who knows how to do that, Armored_Wolf was simply a catalyst.

Ah, right, in that case. Next time it happens, it's a temp ban. :twisted:

I waited for ~three days. I made a thread on the forum to see if that's the case. :roll:

For Armored_Wolf? That would be a bit harsh. You're a silly boy.
