What's new?

In January 2009, we've added a new blog. If you're interested in writing for it, email me at info at this domain. Else I hope you find something worthwhile or at least diverting there.

We're now sending occasional site update information to a Facebook profile. Why not click the badge to the immediate left there to add our profile as a friend?
