Sorry For The Delay

Just a quick apology about the lateness of Episode 7: VoIP. Our normal schedule is to release episodes every Wednesday. Episode 7, although dated for last Wednesday, wasn’t actually published until Sunday and we’re sorry for the delay.

The reasons for the tardiness are legion, but suffice to say that there were simply too many deadlines last week and we fell behind. We hope to have something to show for all the toil and trouble we’ve been through this past week in a few days, but until then, please accept our humble apologies.

We’re very grateful that you’ve chosen to be one of our listeners and we thank you for subscribing. We appreciate your patience and understanding and we will have everything back on schedule this coming Wednesday.

— Michael Ashby
