nasty stuff

 the past two days were pretty horrific. the work i did on wednesday night was scrapped first thing thursday morning (turns out we didn't all agree on the way forward, which was unfortunate), and the day was long. i had a headache and felt horrible for its entirety, and it was filled with discovering more unexpectedly broken or badly made things.

yesterday i felt MUCH better, but work was a total cluster****. we discovered a bug in one of the releases that has delayed the release by another day (which messes with my plans for monday). testing the other one opened up a can of worms, but we HAD to release before the end of the day and everything that could have gone wrong, did, and did so thoroughly. by the time i finally managed to push out the release - which i'd pretty much been working on alone - i was completely buggered. i was also highly stressed, and i think everyone who worked with me over the course of the past two days was very aware of it and quite understanding.

plans for today: take a break from life. i finally defeated the red queen in steamworld heist, i've been occasionally encouraging mr smear to continue making cool stuff in minecraft, and i've dumped this post.

at least we've had some more good news regarding gd's documentation: it's been authenticated and now we just have to manage to get it delivered and then we can - theoretically, at least - finally proceed with the application.
