Enough is enough - for now

So I'm back after a several month absence. We have been burning ourselves up doing art, music and video and we're all thoroughly sick of it. In two years time we've done enough art to last several lifetimes; since we got the Audacity software last summer we've created over eight new CDs of our music as well as having edited hundreds of others we've gotten from various places. I'm supposedly the "software manager" for the Community, supposed to download, install and try new and different apps, but that has just gotten away from me. I did try dozens of new things, some are pretty cool - if you have a Linux OS I can make some recommendations for you, but if you are running Linux you probably scour www.sourceforge.net on a regular basis anyway. Cool place, that, and they do have stuff for Windows.
In relation to that, Old Sparky got eaten again, so now we are running on Old Sparky 8. I can't believe we've gone through eight computers. Well, it's been two actual physical PCs, but they've had their share of viruses and fatal crashes, the latest was a week ago when we had to do a reformatt. All of the art and stuff got saved but the software all went buh-bye. And I think that that was what caused us to say, "enough." Roy and Llam were supposed to continue a conversation at our website in their blog but rebuilding Humpty Dumpty took eleven hours, Roy was really tired when it happened and couldn't stay away from it until it was done. Workaholic.
So we've cut our projects down to the bone. Roy is doing some writing and set himself up with a new blog over at MSN spaces, seeing as how they probably lost or deleted the one he'd had. That was a shame as he had a huge list of books there, now has to do it over again. M
Me, I wanna go to a park later.
