With my return to work after vacations and Thanksgiving, development on this version has slowed down a bit. I’m also in a phase of development that’s a little tedious and repetitive: the automation of deployment and setup of the new server. There’s a lot of “tweak a script, wait 1-5 min for it to run on a server, see if it succeeded a little more than the last time.” It just makes for slow going.
I’ve been trying to decide when I want to roll out these changes. During the deployment, the main site will be completely unavailable for the duration. That could be 45 minutes, or it could be 4 hours. I’d obviously prefer the 45 minute window, but this stuff is difficult sometimes.
Given that the holiday season is typically a pretty busy season for crafting projects like blankets, I want to wait until after Christmas, but still take advantage of the long weekends I’ll have off from my day job. That means I’ll probably do the update on Dec 26/27 or Jan 1-3.
I’ll definitely post here and update the main site once I have a firm window set.
