Yay! I have interwebs at home. My former machine refused to boot, as a result of a seemingly dead mobo. I could replace it, but I have some legacy hardware such that it would probably end up being a complete rebuild and I wanted to save the expense. For the moment, I've got an ancient laptop from work. That said, it's only ancient by today's standards, and notwithstanding the brief hiccup last night it seems fine.

I owe some of you emails - they will be forthcoming; I'm not ignoring you.
