In case you missed the exciting news, I'm home. Thanks to everyone who helped keep this place running in various ways while I was gone (and as always thanks to many of those same people who help keep it running while I'm here). Apologies for not being a bit more organized for my absence before my trip. I had grand plans, but then haloscan killed itself and I spent a bunch of time trying out various commenting platforms to see what might hold up best while I was away. Not thrilled with the current setup, but it'll work well enough until Eschaton 2.0 premiers sometime in late 2017.
