My guesses on what the dev is doing:
1. Adjusting the algo to make it even harder for pools
2. Doing the day job and working on a tight deadline
3. Still can't escape the ropes since that tall blonde he met at the bar tied him up
4. Feet up, by a pool somewhere sunny taking a break
5. Rewriting masternodes
6. Recovering from a hangover
7. Recovering from man flu
Guys something is very wrong about this.

At a minimum he's been away from both forums for 3 days now.
Given we're in the middle of MN testing I'm simply astounded he wouldn't have said he'll be off air for a while.
Has this happened previously? From my approx 2 months' experience of SPR it appears to be out of character.
