I'm popping in to say hello to everyone and to officially announce that I'm going AWOL, taking an official leave of absence from dA until next month.

All the hell that I went through with my little machine is now thankfully and happily OVER. Everything is back up to snuff, running the way it should, I can be productive again after my absence here.

A big FUCK YOU is in order to all you asshole virus, adware and spyware developers. You ain't gonna get the best of me, you motherfuckers. Don't quit your day job.

As you know, I'm moving at the end of this month. Packing and cleaning up is taking up all of my time. I will be popping in here and there to poke around, look at deviations, respond to a few messages, and maybe even post a couple photographs from a recent recon trip in the name of that also doubled (as I knew it somehow would) as the best medicine to help me get over this fucking cold/flu/sinus infection/whatever this is that is so fucking PERSISTENT. My ribs have been bruised up pretty damn good from all the coughing thanks to this fucking thing. Aside from that and the cough lingering as well as some head congestion, I can finally say that yes, I AM on the road to recovery.

Until the next jerk shows up to work sick and I catch it.

If you're a fan of Information Society, the DVD of the Philadelphia show that took place back in January 2008 is going to finally be released on October 20th! [link] and I were at this show; in the front row, and maybe, just maybe you'll be able to catch a glimpse or two of us.

I can't wait to order mine. Gonna wait till after the move, though.

I will see you all in my office for your meds, lobotomies and bloodshed next month!

Much love, nightmares and tons of entrails,

Doc D
