Welcome back Hobbit Stealer! It's good to hear from you again.
I haven't been actively posting anything but replies for a while, myself. Just been a little preoccupied with things off the computer (and, not too long ago, with Linux). I think I've finally reached an equilibrium with Linux where I'm not tempted to do all sorts of new things with it constantly. I'm working a major change of diet due to some potential food intolerances, and I don't have a car, so I'm needing to find ways to keep my grocery store trips infrequent. I'll likely get a fruit dryer or something. That way I can have lots of fruit (and vegetables) and it won't go bad any time soon (and I won't have to get more every three days). Anyway, food has been on my mind about 95% of the time lately (and has consumed most of my Internet research).
Anyway, I hope some of the others are still lurking in the background. I'm sure they'll come out again with enough stimulation.
