ENnies 2017 etc.. (Patreon)

I was out on the town last night and not checking my phone, but, I discovered in the cab ride on the way home that Tabletop Audio had won a gold medal for 'Best Website' at the 2017 ENnie awards at GenCon. Since the only way for this to happen was for lots of you to take time out of your day and vote for me, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart. No, there's no prize money or really anything other than a certificate and the above medal (Hopefully they'll mail it to me!) but it's nice to get the occasional pat on the back.

In other news, I received a message from Google advising me that since I had forms on my website, you know, those nifty new text filters? - Well, now they were going to display an 'unsafe warning' or something because I wasn't using SSL certificates and serving pages over https. If this is gobbeldygook to you, it basically means that they're serious about making the web more secure and safe and even though I don't collect data of any kind, it's still not a bad idea to lock stuff down and safeguard against, well, bad things. So...I heaved ho and set about getting a certificate and making things all secure and then, fixing all the broken things that happened because I didn't know what I was doing. 

Long story short, a week later, the site is secure and served over https:// and now you won't get any scary warnings when visiting. As everyone knows, the scary parts of my site are in the 'Horror' section, and that's where they're going to stay :)

Finally, I'm finishing up a few projects this week and then picking my kids up at music camp and driving down to North Carolina for a week at the beach with my family. I can't believe summer is over already, but I'm looking forward to a productive fall!

Thank you all for your continuing support.

Best,

Tim
