...now, it's apparently Raz's turn. 
Just wanted to let you all know that I've been around for the last few days in normal fashion, unlike the last few weeks, both due to the fact that I've been working like a dog, as well as the fact that my DSL was down for about 2 weeks, causing chances to access the Internet to be few and far between.
I see that we have a lot of new folks that came around since my last appearance; I say welcome to you. I am the other moderator on the board, and I did post on a daily basis, sometimes even numerous times a day, etc. However, since I've started working 50+ hour weeks, that has dropped off. I'm making it a habit to get back into the mix more now, no matter how much time I put in to make green over here.
In the last few weeks/month, etc. my project has disassembled, or should I say, I detached myself from it because of the fact that I'm just so busy to be a responsible factor in it, make practices, etc. You can say, "sorry to hear that, dude" all you want...while I appreciate the fact that you care, your concern, etc. I've been way too friggin busy to let it sting/care about it. I'll get things going again when I'm settled down on the work aspect.
As far as the buttercream/ANY new EBMM acquisition, that is on hold for now, as I have two things working against me, one being the fact that I'm loaning Mom money to get a flight out to Michigan to attend the funeral of my grandmother's sister (my mother's aunt), who passed away on Monday, as well as flying my girl out to Wisconsin this weekend for 11 days to visit her ailing grandmother. I had a premonition dream a while back about her going this summer, and it would be nice for her to see her once more before that happens. (My dreams like that usually come to pass, so I don't want to chance it, and regret it happening without any attempt to right things, etc.) So Pete, apologies on putting you through the motions before and coming up fruitless, but I gotta tend to more pressing issues, y'know?
*whew*
On lighter notes, the company that I work for is a great company, small, laid back, and a great group of people. It's a company called MacMedia; if I could shamelessly plug it, you can see our lame website here (LOL): http://www.macmediainc.com -- I do onsite support for these guys, with the occasional sit on the tech bench to do hardware repair (let me tell you guys sometime how much of a PITA it is to take apart a Powerbook to replace something inside of it!) Even though the job takes the life out of me sometimes, I still get up every morning ready to do it again, and loving it no less. It is truly my dream job, and I hope to be involved with all of it for quite some time.
This job has placed me in some great positions; I have been in the house of a guy who played on the '79 Rams, a team which went to the Super Bowl, we've assisted the guy in Korn who is making a solo album by recovering his work off of a failed hard drive (you will get that album because of us LOL!), I've been in the house of former Diamondbacks third baseman Matt Williams, assisted pitcher Randy Johnson with Bluetooth wireless keyboard and mouse issues over the phone, and just recently had an opportunity to sit and chat with, as well as shake the hand of the great jazz guitarist George Benson. Our clients include groups such as the Deftones, Sum 41, Good Charlotte, Curt Schilling, Luis Gonzalez, San Francisco Chronicle, MacAddict, and the list goes on. Now you see why I love what I do.
Anyhow, that's about it...just wanted to drop in and say hi, and let all of you "older" folks know that I'm still alive, and to say hello and welcome to the newer ones. I hope that your stay is a great one, and we're glad to have you aboard.
Dave LaRue is reading the posts, and is scanning the boards, and I have talked via email with him on many occasions in the past month or so, since NorM and I met with him and Steve Morse after the show here in Tempe at the end of Jan. (you remember the bragging pic, right? ;D) There's an issue with his account right now, and he is locked down to prevent him from posting/starting new threads. I have the web folk on this to resolve, and once that is in place, don't be surprised when you start seeing "dave_larue" talking with y'all.
Alright, I'm out...hope all is good in your worlds; Raz, you're up, dude.
Late.
