👋🏼 Welcome to SwiftlyRush
I experienced my first outage 🫣
It's the first time my website has been offline for some significant time (more than a few minutes) yesterday, and it was a worrying time as messages started to flood in. Still, it made me realise how people are using my website for content because I wasn't expecting that amount of messages to come in.
The issue was some lousy PHP code; I know, PHP!
In other news, I released a brand new article this week, 2022 is a Wrap, whereby I cover my wrap-up notes from 2022 as I plan my goals and ambitions for 2023. As I mentioned in my article, I am grateful to everyone who contributes/reads or engages with my content.
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year. I say this, but the newsletter will continue throughout the festive period.
🥳 What's New

It's time to wrap up the year in SwiftlyRush style. I tend to do this each year and have been doing this for many years, perhaps it could work for you?
