Yeah, I wasn't excusing the guy. The update doesn't even sound all that promising. Heck, the holidays were a month and a half ago, there still is no word on current progress.
Long story short, he didn't have much to say, and the promises weren't very substantial to begin with, BUT he did say "something" since last summer. So instead of typing all that I just said "so yeah" as a way to basically dismiss what was said by the guy as pointless to dwell on.
So yeah
