It's been a few weeks.
And then I finally got around to writing this thing, and was making some half-decent progress (while chatting to sibling dearest in our inaugural hopefully weekly project chat and progressing some other stuff as well) and then had one of those infuriating semi-frequent crashes that refuses under any circumstances to be diagnosed (it's probably hardware because there is literally nothing that I am doing that can reproduce them reliably).
Some good things happened too. I got a new graphics card, which I of course had to test out on the top of Acaedia where there's a fair bit of glass.
