gollark: Assuming nothing explodes and we don't end up with everything becoming sick, I plan to release it more publicly within a few days.
gollark: Also, dragons aren't yet autoupdated, but I think I'll make them autoupdate at a rate of once a minute - does that seem OK or should it be lower?
gollark: There should be some occasional downtime while I push a few updates over the next few somethings.
gollark: I'm not *that* useless. Dead eggs, frozen hatchlings, and adults, are banned.
