Away for one month

From this Saturday, I will be away on a trip for one month. I will not be able to update Mecha Updates for a whole month and will return around 6/7th September. While I will have WiFi, my phone is not good enough to manage a proper blog post, or I won't be able to attach pictures with it properly, so I won't be blogging through my phone.

As yet I have been unable find anyone to help me during absence so this place will be inactive for a month, unless someone steps in in the remaining two days. Sorry for the inconvenience, but this travel is important to me.
