I’m just putting the finishing touches on a couple of post drafts, which will be published at specific times over the next couple of days. But functionally and effectively, after this post goes live, I’ll be away from the site until some time in the middle of next week. Indeed, apart from scheduled posts that I’ll have set to fire off at specific times, you won’t hear much from me until after Boxing Day. And I don’t mean “right after” Boxing Day either.

Here’s what’s scheduled to post over the next few days:

• One more “Obsidian Fridays” post
• One more “Larian Saturdays” post
• One more “CD Projekt Sundays” post
• One more “Meditation on Humility” post
• And my traditional Christmas post

So keep checking back for those. And feel free to check in with me on Twitter, as it’s likely I’ll be posting a few things (probably not Ultima-related, though) there over the next few days.

If you’re travelling home or abroad to see family this Christmas, then may you travel safely and in a timely fashion, free from hazard and delays. And whether you’re visiting family or they’re visiting you, may it be a time of joy and love, rather than conflict and strife, for you and yours.

And if you’re just doing your own thing through the Christmas break…have fun with it. See you all…either in 2013 or just slightly before. Merry Christmas!
