Today, I have now missed three Tuesday badge releases. This is very bad as I was planning on releasing small badge sets for each state for 2024.
It started when I got a head cold and spent my entire vacation that I planned on working on the badges in bed and unable to concentrate to get anything done. So, I lost a week and a half.
I had about sixty supplements that I wanted to include with the initial release. It’s now at about 30 because that’s what I managed to get done by this past weekend. I had to give myself some type of deadline or I would continue creating supplements and not release any of the badge programs.
My second problem is software. I’ve been using Adobe Creative Suite. However, my computer is OLD. It’s gotten to the point where it wants to reinstall the entire Creative Suite a couple times a week. As this takes hours, I have no time left to work on badges. So, I found a replacement software suite that seems to run similarly. Unfortunately, I don’t know all the intricacies of the Affinity Suite, and I’m trying to learn while working.
I’m putting badge releases on hold while I find and take tutorials.
This means the USA badge sets will continue into 2025, but that can’t be helped. I refuse to pay about $60 a month for software that I spend more time reinstalling than using.
I’d like to apologize if you’ve been waiting for new badge programs. You’ll need to wait just a bit more.
Thanik you for your patience.
