Time to say "goodbye"

Wow, I really appreciate the support! I had no idea this would happen; I was basically expecting an empty thread. You guys have no idea what this means to me.

I'm back for about a week, on a very limited basis; basically, I'll be handling my own apps & threads, and that'll be about it. Sorry I can't handle everything I was doing before, but I'm still very busy.

Now for the gory details, since Nathan asked & I'm sure the rest of you are wondering.
Lately, my school load has gotten fairly significantly heavier, since the semester's starting to wrap up. At around the same time the load began growing, I did a fairly significant deal with a certain company; I promised to alpha-test & beta-test their flagship (commercial) app in exchange for being allowed to upgrade my years-behind copy without needing to pay the large upgrade fee. Obviously, that's something I can't drop under any circumstances as I'm essentially working to pay for my upgrade. Eventually, the load (school work + PortableApps forums + REAL Software forums + portabilizing apps + working on my own programming projects + community service at the local library + beta testing a commercial app + IRC) just got to be too much.

Thanks to my week-long spring break, I'll be able to return on a limited basis; however, I'm still very swamped and won't be able to do nearly what I'd been doing. I'll also have to leave again in about a week, when my spring break ends.
I do have one more minor app done (WorldClock, for those interested); I still need to get the author's permission before posting. Other than that, I'm going to essentially focus on "holding my own" until the semester ends.
The possible two years absence was the worst-case scenario for not being able to return; there were possible complications that would have kept me off PortableApps and all similar sites for that long. Fortunately, I think I've gotten past the worst of those without taking too much damage.
