Repeated intro

Hello everyone, It's been a crazy last month and a half. I've been working 60 hour weeks at my day job and I also suffered a hard drive failure. Thankfully I keep backups, although admittedly not very neatly. It was not a fun 2 weeks or so to figure that all out and get my computer back up and running. Damn bad sectors. Anyhow, enough complaining, here is your build, just in time for my birthday! Happy birthday to me, and any other August 1st-ers out there. See the change log below!
