One Million Hits!
As of 4:17 PM (MST) today, Ultima Aiera has logged over a million hits since the beginning of its website traffic statistics tracking (in 2008). That’s a pretty major milestone for the site, and a testament to the long-term staying power of Ultima.
On Malware
Some of you might have received malware notifications when visiting the site today. If so, I apologize. However, Aiera is now malware free again, and I continue to take pains to maintain its security.

I'll Be Traveling Today
Since I’ll be spending most of today in the air or in client offices, there probably won’t be much in the way of articles posted to the site until Wednesday. Though I’ll try and check comments from time to time, and will have access to email whilst in airports and the hotel.
I'm Participating in Extra Life (And So Can You, On Team "Vas Mani")!
This year, I’ve decided to participate in Extra Life, a gamer-specific fundraising drive for hospitals that deliver critical care to sick children. And I’ve put together a team Ultima fans are encouraged to join, too!
The Big "Thank You" Post!
A long overdue “thank you” to everyone who has supported the site by doing their shopping at Amazon.com.
Site Updates Will Be Sparse Until September (Also: Open Thread)
I have a lot of research to do — and a lot of articles to draft — over the next few days. As such, site updates will probably be minimal, if not non-existent, during that time.
