still alive and kicking

I'm still here, really. I've been working 100 hour weeks for the last couple of months, and have hardly spent any time at all on the internet (my email inbox is a nightmare). I'm still writing the AI 101 series - part 3 has been in about 6 rough draft forms, and parts 4,5,and 6 are in various stages of completion. I anticipate that regular posting should resume at the end of August or the beginning of September.
