I've come to the conclusion that I do updates simply to fool people into thinking that I'll continue to do updates ...

I've been traveling for the past week and a half in Germany, England and Ireland (pictures to come from that; for now, check out the photos I already have online), discovering that, at least for cheap travellers, the Emerald Isle has really crappy 'net connections -- hence the lack of updates.

But I'm back from that now and, indeed, back from Europe in general, having returned to the States yesterday. I'm now busily endeavoring to conquer jet lag and retrain myself in where the y and z keys are ... I'll let you know how it goes ...
