Congratulations to Karl & Serenity Rasmussen (née Norman), from whose wedding in Madison, Wisconsin, I’ve just returned.
Just for the record, I’m exhausted.
xD.

I’ve changed the design of the blog. The changes aren’t particularly drastic from a coding point of view1 but make the blog look rather different as the white background is now grey and the grey boxes are now white. I like it, but there are some bits that need ironing out; I don’t think the [...]

A couple of friends of mine have started blogs.
Shayaan is backpacking around South East Asia, starting in Kuala Lumpur, and his blog is at shayaanafsar.blogspot.com. Aled is the General Secretary of the LSE Students’ Union and very much involved in the Green Party - he ran for the GLA in the North East London constituency [...]

Part of this is work patterns and tiredness, but I am working on improving quality and regularity of output. In the meantime, do please subscribe to the feed [...]

Hard as it may be to believe, my blog is three years old. In fact, three years and three days, as my first post was on March 11th 2005. A lot has happened to me since then.As Lothair I had it, tempora mutantur et nos mutamur in illis; the times are changing and we change [...]
