I have returned from out of the country.  Unfortunately, while I was gone, my hard drive chose to die.  The one I work on.  With all my data.  Which was not backed up fully because people bitch that my data files take up too much space.  I have lost the past year or so of data.  My advisor is unwilling to pay the fee required to get the data off the dead hard drive.  While I scream at fate and attempt to reconstruct everything, postings may be sporadic.  If I believed in anything at all, that thing is having a damn good belly laugh at my expense right now.  End message.
