The last few weeks have been a bit of a rollercoaster (lots of strangers screaming, no brakes or steering, an inherent risk of catastrophic failure and sudden death, and the near-certainty that somebody's going to puke on someone else), hence the lack of any updates.
The new job has what I'd consider more than its fair share of problems (although I'm hoping at some point they'll evolve into something amusing), and there have been ongoing medical problems to deal with at home at the same time. Fortunately I have my sunny disposition and positive outlook on life to see me through.
I'm not dead, and haven't stealthily relocated the site elsewhere. But it might be just a little while yet before I start posting semi-regularly again. Or even close to what used to constitute "regularly".
Also, I've been drinking. Arrrrrrr...
