Hello, World! I'm still alive and gradually starting to get back in to the OSS world after having to take a long stint out of everything to address my mental and physical health.

If anyone has any requests for my github.com/emlynwest/changel… package, please let me know! I'm planning on adding @robo_php tasks over the next few days. Life has been very difficult and continues to be so but things are improving and I want to get back in to open source again.
PSA: From Jan I'll be changing my name to Emlyn, that includes online accounts, so expect things like github repos to move!

Been a #golang #gophers for almost a month now and loving it, sorry #php, was good while it lasted! 😄

Officially withdrawing from @fuelphp development. Just don't have the time to do it any more. Best of luck for the future.

No-one tells you that programming is going to be somebody waving a hand in your face until you take your headphones off.

So I just discovered @github's "Projects" feature, no need for 3rd party tools any more!

Preferably something "in the cloud" or easily self-hostable.
