Hey Everyone,

My apologies up front for this, but due to some major issues at work today and a number of severe storms that rolled through my area this afternoon and into the evening, I was unable to complete the new episode of For Mac Eyes Only in time for release tonight.

I tried to get it recorded and uploaded, but decided that rather than rush it, I’m going to take an extra day and shoot it out to you tomorrow night instead.

I hope this will not screw up your podcast listening for the week too badly!

Thanks for listening and I’ll talk to you tomorrow.

Mike
