Art's Thoughts

Sabbatical

Our business in life is not to get ahead of others but to get ahead of ourselves—to break our own records, to outstrip our yesterdays by our today, to do our work with more force than ever before.

Stewart B. Johnson



A couple weeks ago I realized my efforts in "outdoing myself" were slack, not because of a lack of ideas, but because of a lack of time. There are so many things I know I can achieve, but they stay on the backburner until I have time to pursue them.

It wasn't until last week that I had the idea to take a sabbatical from Neoseeker to start attacking this long backlog of self-improvement efforts. As a result, I began talking with Redemption, a few supermoderators and my good friend bobbonew to see if we could come to sort of arrangement. Fortunately, we did. I recently released a new version of NAMFox alongside the new forum upgrades, both of which help facilitate the all-desired self-management of the bug forums that Redemption and I discussed only a couple months ago. The supermoderator team was very accommodating with my request; I especially appreciate Solitaire's willingness to talk through logistics with me. Finally, bobbonew has volunteered to moderate the bug forums and Web Coding while I am away, and for that I am very grateful.

So if you have any issues with those forums over the next few months, please talk with bobbonew instead of me. If, however, you encounter NAMFox issues that require immediate attention, shoot me an email, and I'll be sure to see it.

Thanks for your support! I'll see you in a couple months.
