Minor glitch... (Patreon)

The scheduler for TWB is currently being migrated off a 'cloud' server and onto a private one. There may be minor issues, please stand by.

Currently, Monday's comic links back to 2003, because I was an idiot and mis-set said scheduler. :) And as I don't have access to it at the moment, I can't fix it.

Things should be back in order shortly, we thank you for your patience. :)

[update!]

Sorry again, ladies and gents- and anyone in between. :) Today's comic has nothing to do with the server thing, which is pretty well settled.

I  had a hot project on the table, that had to be finished- I'd already procrastinated a bit too long on it. (Thanks in large part to the extra time I'd spent on the mill this last week.)

On top of that, I gave myself a sort of low-level chemical burn on both my hands. I was using sodium hydroxide to strip some anodized parts, and if any of you have used that, you'll know if you get it on your skin, it starts to dissolve the top layers.

It doesn't hurt- unless you have a couple small cuts, which I did- and it's not "lose your hands" nasty, at least with light exposure. What it does is makes your hands feel greasy- like they're covered in soap, but you can't wash it off.

I was using my usual  black nitrile gloves, which are quite resistant to the stuff, but I was also using used ones, since after working with chemicals like this, I just strip them off and toss them. Both, unfortunately, had small holes, so I wound up wearing the lye for about half an hour.

I've since washed, showered and scrubbed, and they still feel sticky and nasty.

No worries, I've done it before, and there's no lingering effects. They'll be fine by tomorrow.

Should be caught back up by Thursday's update. Thanks again for your patience!

Doc.
