Sorry about the lack of posting recently; first I had a bad cold that lasted for a couple of weeks, during the second of which I was going to work anyway and lapsing into a solitary torpor during the evenings. (”Solitary torpor” is the state of being too braindead for anything but computer solitaire.) Just as I was getting through that I fell into a serious case of Photoshop. Then my eldest got his tonsils and adenoids out; and he’s been having a rocky recovery (though I think he’s through the worst of it). What with the pain and worry, I’ve again been settling into a solitary torpor during the evenings. This may last for a few more days; but then I’m due to go on a business trip. So it may be into February before things wake up around here again.
So I just upgraded WordPress; my webhost has a neat one-click solution for that. Unfortunately, I have almost no memory of how I set up WordPress to look the way it did; and no desire to muck around with whenever I upgrade. So I’ve picked a theme that’s somewhat similar to what I had before, and that’s what I’m going to use.

I’ll thank you all to speak of me as Puddleston St. Droop from now on.
It’s a few days late, but never mind; the January issue of Ex Libris Reviews is now on-line.
Jane and I seem to be having trouble getting our e-mail at the moment, so if you’ve sent me some and I’ve not responded that’s probably why. We’re looking into the reasons why. If you need to get a hold of me urgently, leave a comment here.
Update: Apparently Earthlink’s blacklisted my web hosting service’s e-mail servers for no particularly good reason. Dreamhost is working on it.
Update: Mail is flowing again, one way or another. The thing with Earthlink still isn’t resolved, but we haff ways of getting your messages anyway.
Bop over to The Online Photographer for one of the neatest images I’ve seen in a while. The amount of work required to do it is seriously scary.
