Catch up time

Some of you may know that in the past year or so, I lost my keyboard (beer got spilled on it), and then my hard drive. If that was not enough, I also had lots of spam going to my email address. I now have a new keyboard, new hard drive and hopefully have fixed all the loopholes through which the spammers got in, (wishfull thinking). I have also streamlined my blogs and combined several of them into one, which means I may now actually be able to keep up with the updates.
