First, play this relaxing piano music to put you in the mood:

Light in the shadows, and another week has already gone by! *gasps and looks back* 4 days I've been absent on my blog. Sorry.

Meteor clause in effect, I promise I'll get to comments this weekend — 2 days got ditched because my main computer failed to boot and I had to go through a long and arduous backup restore. The first time failed, so I went to a secondary backup, and thankfully that worked. 7 hours for each attempt, plus all the disk diagnostics I had to run. I won't bore you, but I'm glad to be back up, and I can't stress how important it is to make backups.

It's incredibly frustrating being behind on correspondence. I've come to peace with the fact I can't possibly keep up with all of it, so I focus on the eclectic, make formal documentation to address what popularly comes up, and keep moving. Please pardon me that I'm not able to reply to everything personally (as I was once able to, upon a time), but if you know of superior cloning technology, make a flexi-flag and wave it!

I do plan to respond to other comments I've made elsewhere on the Web too, like my Flickr ones… but not YouTube. It's frustrating because I see such nice messages left on my Video Tutorials, but my own replies aren't showing up. Or sometimes I'll see it for a few min. after posting, then refresh, and it never comes back. I'll wait for Google to remedy that. Until then, arrrr. :\
