A quick proof-of-life update for you. The whole month of July was pretty much wiped out for me between the yearly family vacation which was followed by hosting friends from out of town. We had a lovely time, but it left very little time for getting work done. Add to that the fact that the GPU on my main workstation gave out, so I couldn’t really do anything on this PC until I acquired a new one (RX 560 4 GB to make this entire machine Team Red now). So given all of those circumstances, I didn’t really make any progress on OpenBeacon Mini. Apologies for that to my beta testers. Things will still be a bit slow while school is out here for summer break until late August, and then after that I expect to have my full allotment of work time again. Once school is back on, I should be able to do Twitch streaming again as well. Right now things are just too chaotic for that to happen on a regular schedule.

On a side note, I’m sure you seen me talking about using the Brave browser’s BAT publisher program to replace my old Patreon page. I completely understand that asking someone to switch browsers is a very hard ask, especially when the browser is still fairly early in development and needs more work in order to be highly polished. I recently learned of an extension for Firefox and Chrome that does the same function of distributing BAT to registered publishers that the Brave browser does, which should be a lot more tolerable for those who were considering the program but didn’t want to give up their current browser. The extension is called BATify, and it might be worth looking into if such things interest you.
