Update

This blog has existed as it were in suspended animation these past years, since it was formed in 2009.  I intend to change that, as indeed I had a year ago, with my abortive series of posts.  This is going to continue for a while longer until I can get around to writing some posts of reasonable quality.  I've been rather busy in the interim.  I fully intend to change this and to resurrect the other original content blog when the time permits.  But since this is a hobby project, for now, it takes a back seat to my other professional pursuits.  More to come, in due time, I hope.
