A Mini Catch-Up

There's been no posts lately for two reasons.

1. My PC died a horrible death. From the looks of things it was electrocuted - zapped right through my surge protector one night a few weeks ago during the 8 Days Of Rain. Maybe the hard drive is fried maybe not. Hopefully I can recover some of the data I didn't have backed up, but I've been too busy lately - which brings me to number two.
2. Work has been a royal pain in the ass. Since there is no glory in being Dooced if you are not Doooce herself, I'll just say I've been there a bit more than I would like to be and leave it at that.
