    Slow week at Delimiter

    Tags: ,

    hey everyone,

    hope you’re well!

    Just a quick note that this week will be a slow posting week at Delimiter, as I’ll be working half-days only to take a bit of a break after an especially busy period. We conducted a similar exercise in February, and it went quite well (the sky didn’t fall), so at the end of another long publishing cycle, it seems appropriate to step back a bit for a few days and take stock.

    It’s a good time to do this, as news has been slow the past few days, we’ve explored quite a few issues up to their natural end point, and there aren’t that many hot gadgets out there that we haven’t reviewed. I think that all of this could have something to do with the end of financial year.

    We’ll still have one or two fresh articles every day, but we won’t be as up-to-the-minute as we usually are, and we’ll have less full-length articles and more brief pieces. Of course, there are plenty of other media outlets out there, and I’m confident that readers, those seeking coverage and even our great modern democracy will all be able to survive a bit a of a ‘go slow’ week from us ;) We’ll resume full service on Monday next week.

    Cheers,

    Renai LeMay
    Editor + Publisher, Delimiter

        No way this is clearly the Greens and their “regulating the media” slippery slope!

      I guess this means I can stop refreshing the page every 30 minutes. Slow work day + slow delimiter day = a sad Pete.

      From the internets;

      Enjoy your break but… get back quick, I’m still yet to penetrate Australia at any sort of decent speed in large scale.

      Keep the bastards honest!

      Farewell and I look forward to your return

      Sincerely,

      The Internets

      Last week my 3g connection was struggling to get past .5Mbps, tonight I’m getting up to 4. Coincidence? I’m blaming my lack of bandwidth on Delimiter.
