There are several reasons for this.<\/p>\n<p>I am getting more responsibility at work. On top of that, I am suffering a little bit of writing fatigue after finishing up a book that I have been writing for the past 6 or 7 years (going to print soon!). With routine broken, getting it back up is not easy. But I would be lying if all the reasons behind such laziness are all professional-sounding. I bought Football Manager 2023 in late February, and it is a time-suck.<\/p>\n<p>But this blog begged me for attention yesterday, after a WordPress update broke something that forced me to manually go through my database and repair it for 1-2 hours. Exhausting but it also proves to me that I still care about this blog, even if people have moved on.<\/p>\n<p>So, it needs an update!. Let me post something to celebrate (belatedly) the reopening of this part of the world.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18082\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/maddruid.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/202212-Phuket-Phiphi-198HNS.jpg?w=580&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Some rights reserved.
