yes.  i am behind on updates.  i know.

between being ill, travel, WORK and, most importantly, a complete computer crash…  it has been tough.  i just spent some time building a completely new system from scratch.  something i have not done, believe it or not, in almost 12 years.  all this time, i have been purchasing open box “major brand” desktops and then retrofitting them with new components.

so…

i am up and running again — for the most part.  i am still migrating a bunch of settings and, sadly, it looks like i am going to have to rebuild the entire image database i have on my desktop.  it is going to be a while before i can get photos from the past month and a half up here…

on a good note…  i am totally digging vista.  and my new core 2 duo proc.  and my new kick ass video card.  and the 4GB of RAM.  and everything else i put into this monster…  ahem.
