News, updates, and thoughts
Here is where I’ll post occasionally, if/as/when anything strikes me as being potentially of interest or use.
I’m reluctant to call it a blog - partly because I’m not entirely convinced by blogging as A Thing, and partly because I’m not sure what you may find interesting or useful.
As we get into the swing of things with the website in general, I suspect that there’ll be a mix of things historical, educational, and personal. And there’s a good chance that some of the posts will be made by Joanna (for those of you who don’t know, aka my wife, administrator, tech support, and general whip-cracker).
Any pointers/requests/suggestions as to what you might like to see here would be most welcome!
