Nope. That's not how it works.

Now I am not quite understanding what you mean by that's not how it works?

I asked: Is it becoming to difficult to get that amount of blocks in that amount of time?

I am under the impression that the difficulty makes it harder to find a block, which would increase the time that it takes to discover 1 block, or say, 2016 blocks, are you telling me that is not how it works?

I am aware of that as I stated in my original post.

But for the last 1.5 years it has been almost like clockwork at 12 days. I don't think it has ever taken 13 days. My question was mostly, Is it finally becoming too hard to get that many blocks in this amount of time?

Isn't it suppose to be already out? I figure its almost been 2 weeks since the last change came out....anyone have information on this at all?

Difficulty adjustments don't happen every two weeks—they happen every 2016 blocks, which isn't necessarily the same. The next one is expected to happen tomorrow this time.
