Just cleared two weeks of email backlog. About the same time that I have been burning the midnight oil staying up after Megan and Clara go to bed trying to get the next release of proposed Boost.AFIO out the door … and it is still not there, nor will it be for many more nights :(. I have bought myself a raft of alcohol which is to be my reward after I finish and ship the release - until then, I get to look at it and not touch a drop, maybe it might aid motivation. The only good news from all this is that I think I have enough material now to do a full one hour talk on AFIO at CppCon 2015, probably entitled "Boost.AFIO: Racing the Filing System" or something similarly pithy and double entendred. As this May's C++ Now will be my last due to it costing three grand every time I go, here's hoping that I can replace that with CppCon which ought to be much cheaper (travel costs are covered if you present, so that's a grand saved right there).
