On a personal note...

The site is on a bit of a hiatus at present. Lots happening on the home front.

- My daughter was born (January 31st, 3 weeks early, she's healthy and happy) and is taking up a lot of time (as one would expect).
- I'm about to be out of a job; my position goes away Feb. 29th, so I'm dealing with the stress of trying to find a comparably paid job.

Given this I don't have much any time to update right now.

Thanks to those who have continued to visit the site, I know a lot of you are hoping for some uploads. I'll try to get some done over the next few weeks, but cannot make any promises. I'll try to return as soon as I can.

Find something dead?

Post a reply here and I'll try to get things reuploaded when I can. I know that the Sharebig links sometimes don't always work, and some files have been deleted in various places. Just let me know what looks gone and I'll take a look and post a new link when possible. I'll revise the list below as new links are posted.

Been very busy lately getting ready for the new arrival (baby) and have been looking for a new job, so I've had little time to spend here. I still have some re-ups that I am working to get to.
