Haha, thanks a lot guys.

My birthday present to myself was a new PC, which is going to be brilliant for mapping, music creation and site design. My old faithful laptop just kicked the bucket a few weeks ago, and I was feeling industrious... so I built myself this new computer from scratch — and it's
AMAZING! I can't believe I even tried to assemble my own computer, but it certainly paid off.
I've also recently moved out of home, so I have space to myself and a constant broadband connection for the first time ever... Yeah, it's been an exciting birthday season for me this year.

Happy birthday to those who I missed while I was away from the keyboard.
