Okay, I have no real excuse for my inactivity. I've been busy at work, busy at school (yes, I finally am back and have worked out all the problems with residency, registration, and the bastard bureaucracy at the U of A)... my back problems turned out to be more serious than expected (apparently, my pelvis has been twisted like a Rubic's cube ;-)... my wife has been having a very hard time at work (class sizes are very small in TUSD, and my wife's principal is railroading her out of the school with baseless accusations because of district pressure, and because he lacks the backbone to be honest and tell her that he wont be able to re-hire after her contract comes due in July because of reduced funds)..... etc. and so forth.

These are all very good excuses... but so what? You always hear some sob-story from an Open-Source/Free-Software developer who's been inactive for a few months. It usually centers around many of the same topics I'm claiming here as excuses (work, school, family, health, blah, blah, blah).

But the simple fact of the matter is that when I've been coming home, rather than sitting at my computer (or even dragging my laptop to the living room!) I've been flopping in front of the idiot-box, whining about how life sucks, and then moaning how I don't have time to work on my projects anymore!

So screw it... no more vegging.

Let me get my dev-life back in order (need to set up my e-mail again, since I loathe Mozilla/Netscape Mail, but they seem to be the only clients which are working with my f*cked up server setup), and post what little code I've done online. Then expect another update in a few days.
