i suppose i should explain my absence lately. it’s been a busy summer. let’s see, i last posted june 26th. that was about a month and a half ago. hmm…

well a lot of things been happening in the personal life. been trying to make the most of the summer. got me a new job. hanging out at sauble beach, playing my wii, spending time with the family that’s been hopping in and out of town, attempting to go camping, road trips to the states, a whole whack of weddings to attend, and a whole bunch of exciting new stuff that’s about to happen in my life.

also i’ve started creating a giant family database using open source software GRAMPS, and it’s been a very fun and rewarding project to be working with. if any of you are interested in your family history you should consider using it.

but primarily, i haven’t really had time to keep up with my feeds so i really didn’t feel it was worth giving you guys stale posts.

hopefully things will come back to normal fairly soon. thanks to all who regularly visited.

also since dave asked, and since the plastic poet has agreed, i’ll also be working on a giant FAQ page for moving users from windows to open source and document any responses to any questions you may have.
