So um yea I got some 'splaining to do I suppose.

"WTF did you go off to pH?"
Well I uh haven't really been doing much computer-enthusiast stuff for a long time now and so I never really felt the need to post/comment here on this site. The fact I don't even have any watercooled PCs any more also held me back a bit.

"But we love you and your zany antics sir! What are you up to now?"
Well I just got tenured and promoted at work (wooo hoo now pants truly ARE optional at work) and I bought a house a year ago. Home repair and improvement are more or less my replacement PC hobby nowadays, for good or ill.

"Are you going to return and write up some articles about modding/breaking stuff?"
Uh probably not, but I will try to post more and get more involved with bsing with the regulars who are still here. I am so out of the loop that I'm still gaming on a S939 3500+ so not sure how valuable my opinion on computers is nowadays anyway.
