I am still here.
I haven't fallen off of the face of the earth or anything. I have just been insanely busy. I took on a new contract recently, and that has taken up most of my "free" time, not that I really had much to begin with. Also, the boy started school yesterday, and that process has also kept me fairly busy. Additionally, I think my computer has gone over to the Dark Side. At the risk of anthropomorphising the evil box thingie(TM), this damn thing has it in for me.
