Out of action

kovidgoyal · 04-14-2011, 02:44 PM

Hi all,

Just a heads up, I may be out of action for a couple of days. My right eye is acting up and I'm taking a sabbatical from coding to let it recover.

I'll try to merge *small* patches and make the release tomorrow as normal, but if you have larger patches waiting for review, they will be delayed by a couple of days.

We shall see how easy Kovid finds it to stay away - good luck getting better mate.

Knowing Kovid he's setting up a screen reader so he can work with his eyes closed.

Guys, guys, I really am taking it easy, as proof there were "only ten" commits to my launchpad branch in the last 24 hours http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~kovid/c.../trunk/changes

Be well, Kovid. Take good care of yourself.

You're our first string quarterback.

Better to sit on the bench for a game or two than push it and miss the whole season.

He only needs to close one

(One eye closed wink icon - note it's even the correct eye!)

Gosh!!!! I can see his new avatar now. His old Laser Eyes avatar has got to go (I suspect those laser eyes are what caused the problem). The new avatar will have a pirate eye patch. (And he thinks he's got trouble with DRM questions now ... just wait until the pirate avatar is posted!)

Hi Kovid !
Don't know what's up medically.
BUT ... think of YOU instead of "your child aka Calibre"
TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF !! (family included !!!!! )
Should "days" be "weeks" instead ?
Just tell us ! We'll more than understand and support YOU !!
Just let us know !

Best wishes from Denmark

Take care of that eye.

You may even get to listen to a

"Audio book" or two.

A couple of days of taking it easy (difficult though they might have been) seems to have helped, my eye no longer looks like an overripe tomato.

Thanks, for the wishes.
