Some of you may have noticed a lack of OSX binary updates for pioneer space sim lately, and you would be correct with that observation. With releases in the past, a .dmg file was manually generated on the 2nd Friday of every month, and the occasional ‘nightly’ builds were generated during the rest of the month.

I am now finally riding a bike to work! It has only been about 3 years in the making from when I originally decided to take the challenge till today.

Most, if not all the time, when I finish up for the day it is usually too late to write up anything as I’m tired and it is time for sleep....
Yesterday I did my first bicycle ride of the season. A whole 8km. Map of bike ride While it might not be a hardcore bike ride, I haven’t ridden my bike since the start of the year.
