Well, it seems my own absence has totally eclipsed the absence and return of Jaku.  And as he felt the need to apologize, I feel the need to do so even more.  Long story short,<span style="font-weight: bold">Drama</span>.<br/><br/>As often happens with total startups in a down economy, the most trivial things can throw even the best ideas straight to hell.  I'm looking for a job again.  The bright side is I didn't lose any money in the whole debacle.  The bad side is that this is because I've been so broke the whole time that I may as well be a monk.<br/><br/>Second bright side, I've been living within my means.  I live happily on pretty much nothing, and haven't spent money in anticipation of this project being a success.  Bad side, my friend...  He spent money like we were guaranteed a payoff from this...  He's now buried in debt again and I have no way of helping him out.<br/><br/>I feel like there's a good parable from this whole experience...  Sadly, I don't think it would work so well on my resume.<br/><br/>At least I'm alive, I'm mentally stable, and I'm back.
