I exist...

And am trying desperately to rip my Aperture library into something I can actually work with again.  After 5 months in hibernation my computer is having a hard go at things.  I've dragged my last Macs through 6+ years each of service, but I don't think I'm getting away with it with this guy anymore.  Aperture, Scrivner, and even Safari are creeping and coughing along.  Money is sadly about to leave my bank account.

Add to that some less than stellar home internet following a temporary move to the mountains of Western North Carolina.

Transitioning and troubleshooting. 

Things will resume as soon as possible, and sorry for sucking as an internet personality.
