Welcome Sandy!
Just in case I hadn't come to fully appreciate how powerful a medium blogs can be, I got a mail from my sister this morning. She's been in the UK for a good many years now, and to cut a long story short, she mentioned how for the first time in ages, she got to see more of the day-to-day side of me that doesn't really come across in emails and phone calls. If I had any doubts about using this blog as a personal page as well as a purely 'technical' one, I'm now convinced.
On a side note, she took me to task for my summer post:
... your onset of summer posting. How dare you mention such things. We're in our winter woolies over here. There is no justice in this world.
Well Sis, I have one thing to say: you get to have White Christmases, so there!
