quiet time is now over…

Wow. I’ve been… silent as the grave the past two years — I think it’s been the amount of work I’ve been doing (I’m going to update my portfolio with the last … six?.. projects or so in the next coming days. Meanwhile there’s been so much CHANGE. In the world of technology (Flex compiling…
