Well, finally I have managed to purchase a laptop. Had to take the train to Taichung to do it, but I've got one, a network card, and all my graphics software installed. Now I just wait till Monday (well... hopefully... maybe a day or two longer... but I hope not) and I will have ADSL from home.

That means that I'll be on IRC more often (although it'll be at odd hours compared to you western living folks). It also means I'll be able to do things like graphics, etc.

In any case, I'll be very pleased to be back fully and hope to get things rolling again here very shortly...

Thanks for your patience,
