Moving country

Next week I'm moving country again with my family and will be extremely busy with the move for the next 3-4 weeks. Once we've settled in, some normality should resume in terms of my activity with iGP. Until then, obviously, my hands will be tied and there's no way I can provide the typical level of responsiveness or communication while moving everything to another country.

It was as I was going through forum threads tonight and saw call after call for me to personally look in to threads and situations in detail that I realised I should announce this now. It's simply not going to be possible for me to look in to all of these individual requests at this time. Many will probably not get the attention they need until they are over (like things regarding specific seasons). To avoid any confusion or theories emerging about tardy replies (or no reply) to certain things, I figured best to announce this now and make it clear what is going on. Thanks for your understanding. :)

Hello everyone! As I mentioned briefly in another thread, I am partially set up at my new place now. I had hoped to be fully back in to things this week, but it turns out moving country isn't something you can just do in a week and forget about! There's a myriad of things from phone contracts to licenses and taxes and even insurance policies to set up along the way that make things a lot more time consuming.

So, at the moment there are still a few pieces to go in to place (mainly furniture for the house). By next week things should be back to normal. I am doing what I can when I get time at the moment to help with any serious issues, but smaller stuff will need to wait a bit longer. Thanks for your patience.

You'll be pleased to hear that work on the updates continues even in my absence, but they too are taking a little longer than anticipated. The updates will be ready soon.

Well, an update on the situation... it's not so fine after all. Since we moved we discovered quite significant mould and damp in a couple of closets and the loft, which is dangerous for the baby in particular. We've been hassling the agents and landlord about it but they don't seem willing to properly remove it and decontaminate the place, so we've been able to quickly get released from the contract and will be moving again after less than two weeks here!

We will be moving locally this time, not to another country, and can take all of our stuff with us. It does mean I'm searching for properties again though and will be doing viewings all week. It's very disruptive to work and iGP, but I will do what I can from my makeshift office between searching. I think this will go quite quickly and within 2-4 weeks we should be in a new place. The problem with this first move was we didn't even get to view the place beforehand, being in Norway at the time. There won't be a repeat of that this time.

An update for everyone: We're moving into our new home in 2 days. This will take me out of action for a few days while we move everything across, but it will be much faster than the previous move. I've arranged most things already. Thanks for your patience in this time which has been difficult for my family. I can't wait to get back into a routine and delivering updates to iGP.

New office partially set up... with superfast broadband.



Jokes aside, I should be back in the swing of things by Monday.
