I know... I've been something of a stranger around here. In fact, "stranger" is putting it nicely. Truth be told, though, it's a good thing. I took a new job back in the March/April timeframe, taking over as an operations manager. This was something that I have some experience with, but there were a lot of aspects to the job that were completely new. For instance, I have never been "in charge" of a $6 million budget before, let alone be responsible for it when the corporation is watcing every penny. So, it's been a learning experience from the start, and it has meant a lot of 12-hour days...

So, that meant that my normal time for working on the Completely Unofficial Star Wars Encyclopedia was greatly reduced. My blogging time was cut pretty much down to nothing. However, I stuck to my blasters and got out Version 11.2 of the CUSWE a week or so ago. With the new job, I've just now gotten around to letting everyone know about it!

Hopefully, with the holidays coming up, I'll get more of a chance to work on the encyclopedia. Rilla Freeman and Milo Price have sent me tons of stuff to work on, but it's been sitting on the office floor. They've been pretty patient with me, so a big "Thank you!" to both of them. And, of course, my continued thanks and gratitude to all the readers out there who use and enjoy the CUSWE.
