Ok, so the break turned out to be a little longer than I intended. As I mentioned in my last post, things were on hold until DSL got set up. That happened quite some time ago but right around that time I badly hurt my left middle finger while climbing. That made typing a chore and I've only recently got the OK from the doctor to start using it in a normal fashion. It's still not back to normal, and may never get 100% back, but typing now is no problem. On the other hand, my two main hobbies - climbing and playing guitar - are still hampered. Climbing is completely out for the foreseeable future. I've started playing guitar again, but in a limited fashion.

Since I took my hiatus, the war started and then ended again. If you blinked, you might have missed it.

Anyways, hopefully I will be posting more as things come to me.
