Personal note from Rosana

Tuesday, June 19, 2012 - 13:59

What's this personal stuff doing on the front page? Well, some of you may know me, some of you don't. Some of you know why it's been quiet here, but others may not. I won't write a long post here, I just want to tell why SNW has been keeping a low profile lately.

In December 2011 my partner and I bought our first house. I was busy packing from January until the end of March. And then we moved to this new place. But this house wasn't ready to actually live in. It needed a lot of work (and to be honest, it still does). So we hired people for construction work, and our friends and family came to help us. That was mainly the first week we moved in though. By now there is still plenty that needs work and it's mainly me that has to do it now. You don't hear me complaining because it's fun, but due to my illness it's difficult to do it in a normal time frame like other "normal" people would.

In May I started working on some premium content reviews (and those were nearly done), but then my computer started acting weird. It turns out the hard disk was failing me. This week I'll get my repaired computer back and I'll be able to play and write reviews again. Can't wait, and from what I heard our visitors can't wait either haha! Don't fret, because I didn't lose the progress of the reviews I was already writing, I just can't access the files (screenshots + videos) right now. I'll be publishing the Not So Routine Machine and the Hypnotizer reviews this week. I will also cover the new premium kitchen appliances (the Fryer and the Ice Cream Maker). We have a lot in store for you!

Stay tuned. Because we're not going anywhere!
