Thanks, I've missed y'all, too. (wipes tear from eye)

Just got buried under a mountain of deadlines, extra projects, starting work as a full-time developer for EPS, travel, TechEd conference, finishing off previous projects, and trying to get back on track with a book project (and currently on deadline with the next issue of CoDe).

I'll probably resume normal level of participation soon...
