I'm going on vacation

Hey all,

My family and I are leaving for a vacation tomorrow, and I won't be back until Jun 11th. I likely won't have very consistent internet access while gone since we're going on a cruise which only has rather expensive and slow satellite internet, so I just wanted to leave a message here on Tildes somewhere so nobody worries about my absence. :P

I removed the latest /r/tildes invite thread but will make a new one when I get back. And I also likely won't be able to post the remainder of the Taskmaster episodes as they are released, so if someone wants to take over posting those while I'm gone I would appreciate it. Thanks and see you all again in a few weeks. :)

      But on a serious note, to quote one of the great nineties films: "Have a great trip. Bring me back something French!".

        Do you have any style sheet or generic advice on effective tagging or usual preferred guidelines? I think many of us want to help

          In addition to the hierarchical tags as described in the Tildes docs, for my own posts, I try to ask myself: "If filtering for a topic, what would be good categories for this post to appear in so that I’d find it even if I didn’t know the title?"

          And that seems to work quite well, and most of the time my own existing tags needn’t be changed, only amended with new ones I didn’t think of adding :-)

      I like that you posted this in ~test probably to not attract a bunch of attention and then mycketforvirrad moved it to ~tildes. ;D Have a nice vacation!

    We definitely won't post anything heinous or light up some threads with controversy while you're gone. 😇 (Enjoy the trip and try not to get sick!)
