Here we go again.
So, after another long drought of posts, I’ve decided that, because of the position that life is taking me, that I need to become more involved with the development community as a whole.

Thoughts from Madrailers
First off, yes, I know I haven’t put anything up here in six months. That’s my mistake. I’ll try to do better in the future. Honestly, I just haven’t felt like writing in that time period.

Quandary (part 1)
I wish to pose a question to the masses, particularly to other available software developers.
