I have a "grandmother is dying" type family trip this week and will be away from home until the 29th of April, so I will be streaming next on May 1st. She is 98, so I am less sad about it than impressed by her incredible near-century run of life.

I'm sure you in the comics tier noticed that the public webcomic has rapidly caught up with the backlog again. I have had way more interruptions to my comic work than I'd like recently, but there should be more new pages soon because I'm about to spend a lot of time bored with a tablet in planes and cars. The public webcomic site is about to get hit with a 3 month hiatus and weekly AMAs while I rebuild backlog on Patreon.

Thanks everyone for the amazing support on the Kickstarter, we passed 2000 backers. I am honestly really staggered by how much attention my comic has gathered over the years, I feel both incredibly lucky and monumentally indebted to all of the people who have loved and shared my work.

Visitors of the public webcomic site may have noticed some issues with loading times or the site being broken, it is because the site was getting... TOO MUCH traffic!? I have been working with my webmaster to reduce the bot scraper traffic, but normal human traffic is also quite high, so we set up a CDN to handle the higher quantity of visitors. There will probably be more hiccups in the future but we are working to make sure the site stays quick and accessible.

That's all for now.

Someone who gets it better is welcome to weigh in, but from what I can find it stands for Content Distribution Network, and basically it's just a network of servers(/ server space) that's distributed instead of centralized to cut down on load times and deal with spikes like this.

Part of the traffic might be my fault, I told my therapist about the comic and she liked it so much she read through the entire backlog twice in two weeks. :) I hope everything goes smoothly with the family visit, and that you take the time you need for yourself and your family.
