This blog has been alive for about 12 weeks now. Research, testing patches, writing and creating graphics for each article requires a fair amount of time and effort. Unfortunately, I have not had that time this past week do to the Coronavirus. Somehow, I have managed to not contract Covid for the past 4 years, but my ticket came last Friday and I have been out of commission and unable to meet my weekly deadline to publish. I hope you all can forgive me and come back for next week’s content.
In the meantime, maybe you haven’t seen some of my previous articles? Now is great time to catch up with the past 12 weeks of content.
