The long overdue Monday update.

Hey everyone, Monday update and I am finally back.

So first question... Where the hell have you been? 
I have been most of the time either unable or way too much busy to do anything else. My early July was already a mess because of a forest fire, no damage for me or anyone else, except for most of the power lines and telecommunication infrastructure that were damaged or destroyed. The only side effect was the smell of smoke that got inside.  

But it didn't stop there; I was aware that another forest fire was threatening a member of my family, my godmother and aunt. She was quickly evacuated, with no improvement in telecommunication going back to normal and a shaky power grid. I've decided to pick my stuff up for a 2-week move to my uncle's house, with my father, so I can help her out. In the meantime my mother would go to my house and do a full clean-up and get rid of the pregnant smoke smell and take care of both my cats. 
We didn't decide to go out in an emergency without reason; early reports were that many houses were destroyed and evacuations had to be evacuated because the fire could not be stopped. This fire started July 23 and was officially stopped July 31 and managed to burn down 381km² of area. 
Damage was extensive, but we were lucky her house was only partially damaged not by fire but by water and fire retardant air drop. This is way better than having it burnt down, some of her neibor were not so lucky and became a new headline called Porge's 'Desolation Avenue'.
We stayed 4 more weeks to fix what needed to be fixed, then the rest of the family slowly came over and helped things out. 
This was my strange holiday, I guess.

Second question... Why were we not informed?
This one is 50% my fault.

When we departed, at some point we stopped to take a break; at this moment I was going to send a notice that I would probably be unavailable. I made the critical mistake, in order to preserve my allowed data traffic, to use a local PUBLIC internet connection, and oh man what I have done; I don't know if someone malicious tried to do something shady but Google promptly locked down my Gmail for security reasons, having 2FA on EVERYTHING, I could not access anything. My only way to unlock my phone was to log in under the same internet connection with another "known" device. Contacted Google support and my ticket is still with no answer. 

I also took the time to learn new stuff when I was away.


*Sigh*


So, I am finally back, a bit tired but fine. Now I need to resume what I was doing before all this mess.
First off, compile all of "KSI" and finally upload it; this is way long overdue. Then start a few new projects I had in mind lately. Dropbox link that was supposed to change in September is delayed to October. 

Sorry for all the delay. On that, I hope everyone is doing great.

Have a good one! 

Thanks, my house is not smelling smoke anymore, or I simply cannot smell it after so long...
