I know I’ve been quieter than usual lately, so I wanted to pop in and give an actual update instead of just mysteriously vanishing into the void like some kind of overworked Minecraft NPC. The last little while has been a lot. I’ve had two deaths in the family, some medical stuff going on, and quite a bit happening offline, so I’ve had to step back a bit and handle real-life things first.
That said, I promise I have not abandoned ship, been eaten by a creeper, or disappeared into an unmarked cave system.
While I’ve been quieter publicly, I’ve still been working on code behind the scenes. I know code progress is not always super obvious from the outside, especially when it’s backend stuff, bug fixes, cleanup, and all the boring-but-important goblin work that keeps things from catching fire. But progress is being made, even if it’s not always loud and flashy.
I’ve also been working on Owners United, which is a continuation of MC Connect, one of the oldest staffing Discords for Minecraft server staff and owners. The goal is to keep that spirit going while giving it a stronger home for today’s Minecraft community — a place for owners, staff, and developers to connect, ask questions, share resources, support each other, and hopefully make running servers feel a little less like trying to organize villagers during a raid.
On top of that, I’ve been helping get ready for upcoming in-person Pride events through our other family company, Jack of All Arts, which has also been taking a lot of time, planning, and energy.
So basically: life has been throwing a whole boss fight at me, but I’m still here, still working, still coding, still planning things, and still slowly crawling out from under the giant pile of tasks.
Thank you all for your patience, support, and understanding while I catch up. I appreciate it more than you know.
More updates are coming soon — assuming I do not get defeated by my inbox first.
