Weeks 3 & 4 – What to Expect
Aug 9th
I am going on holiday now – in fact – as you are reading this, I am already on holiday! Unfortunately, this means that I will not be able to update the blog.
Do not worry though, I will be filling the next two weeks with Phil Battison’s General Tech articles and a couple of Christopher Robert’s posts. I hope you enjoy reading them and that you look forward to my return.
Bye.
