==== A lot to catch up on... ====

I've been meaning to update my reading list for quite some time now, and in going over the backlog I also realised that I've not posted anything newsworthy here for quite some time.  I need to fix that!  A lot has been happening to me, and I want to keep track of some of it in a public sort of way.  So I'm considering this a sort of promissory "note to self", that I will be posting here again soon!
