Yeah, I'm back.  First, let's do the apologies.  Apart from what's stored on this site - and hence, not in my home - I have no code, no documentation, no designs, no art.  This was caused by an unfortunate incident involving hell not having such fury, and which saw rather a lot of destruction of hard drives in both my dev ...
