Today’s update was simply going to be “Nothing to see here!” But then an odd thing happened. A cowboy with leathery skin and a sun-worn hat rode horseback to my front porch and gave me a rolled up peice of parchment. It contained a hand-written (poor penmanship I might add) note from Derek Allard, our venerable Technology Architect, which I’ve transcribed below for anyone that finds it interesting.

Wow, I hope he makes it back OK!

Haha, brilliant. Thanks for the comedy update. 😊

I suspect we have lost much in the translation. Please post original pig-latin or french version. Will have it decoded muy pronto…
Cheers

Sir Allard deserves all the credit for the humorous part of the update. The fact that the entry is humorous at all says a lot about how we’re feeling internally at this point. The stress and the pressure are all still there but we’ve definitely turned a corner on this whole thing. And yes, the June 30th update will be significantly more substantial.

I smell a “beta bear” comin’ down the pike. Much obliged to the gentleman Allard. May his quest continue, true and swift.

ssshhhhhh no predictions, no guessing, no sensing and certainly no smelling!!!
It will only cause more frowns when 30th comes!

I, for one, wouldn’t mind some actual updates but I won’t complain.

Did he say anything about the free kitten with EE 3.0? Or, maybe it was the WYSIWYG editor in 2.0.
I get those confused.

...peice of parchment.
Just a heads up… you wrote peice when you probably meant to write peece? :cheese:

Good news from the North it is then, and maybe Leslie’s avatar will finally look up form studying the map in the bottom of the coffee grounds that serve as the map to EE2.0 land.
