Just a quickie update. I haven't gone anywhere. I had a major hard drive crash in June which effectively wiped out all my completed renderings as well as taking away my storage for models/textures/etc. I've gone from 330GB to 80GB storage space and it's taken awhile to rearrange workflow and such, both in renders and daily tasks like email and blogging. So, I've been taking a break from all 'non-essential' activities while I get reorganized. With work being crazy and people switched positions left and right who need training, it's been an insane summer and took longer than I thought.

I shall return. It just might take another few weeks.
