Hello,
Some of you may have noticed that I wasn't online yesterday.  Well, two days ago at night there was high wind or even tornado activity in my area.  It blew the roof off the high school that is about a half mile from my home.  I also lost power for 16 hours.  I also lost internet access for over 24 hours while they fixed things.  That's why I wasn't online.
I'm currently trying to answer the back log of emails I have received while gone for a day.  Those of you who purchased Premium Memberships in the last 48 hours, I'm getting to you. :)  I have about 30+ emails to answer, so that's how it goes. :)

Cool. I used to live in Minnesota, where we got lots of tornado warnings, and that was fun.
Now I live in Arizona, where it's 125 degrees year-round. Must... get... OUT... of... here.... :G
You're online an awful lot. Don't you have a job or something?

I'm also a self employed computer tech (http://www.rusnakweb.com).  I'm hoping to leave the computer repair business though and focus more on software development, since I seem to be good at it. :)
I'm also on summer break now, but I go back to college in two weeks, so then I'll be online less.  That's why I want to get all releases out before I go back. :)

Cool. I can't wait for college! Middle school kind of sucks. :D
Which college are you going to?

Right now I'm just going to a community college, but I want to go into somewhere where I can learn about Computer Forensics.  That's cool because it focuses on security which is cool, but it's also interesting because you can use your skills to catch bad guys. :)

Cool. Then you can use your awesome ninja-hacker skillz to save the world from computer armageddon!
And maybe someone will make a movie starring you. Imagine the plotline: Ubuntu finally wins the war and becomes the mainstream operating system; jealous and vengeful, Microsoft strikes, using the evil power of super-hackers and a ridiculously large sum of money to break into the computers of Ubuntu employees to find their addresses, then starts assassinating them. Ingenius, right? I should make movies. :D
