+
+Hi there it has been a while,
+
+I have been quite busy in my day to day life with education as well as my work on both the Dragon's child studios and EllieBot projects as well as updating this website to look a little bit nicer.
+
+This year has been a crazy one with the release of EllieBot v5 as well as other EllieBot related stuff including the EllieHub updater/launcher, other things I have been working on is Valkyriecoms, Toastielab as well as the other projects located in the projects tab on this site.
+
+Over the next year I plan to continue making things I like and enjoy making and using so please keep an eye out on the projects tab to see what I post there next.
+
+Thanks for letting me ramble and thank you for an amazing 2024.
+
+See you in 2025 with whatever happens then.
+
+Toastie.
