Hey oneliner, where have you been? You said you'd be back on the 22nd, it's the end of September now.
Omigosh-- my laptop completely died! I troubleshot it with some instructions online, opened it up, tinkered with it, and closed it-- and for now (astonishingly) its working fine! Sorry for the delay, I'm frantically posting my handwritten blog entries!
