I’m finding that, in ..er, rationalising my online presence, as we all must these days, I’m finding less and less time to update here with any frequency. With this in mind, I thought I should let those of you who’ve so kindly followed my meanderings here that I’m not gonna be around so often. Oh, I’ll drop in once in a while – hope you will too – but, for now, if anyone wants me I’ll generally be hanging out on (a) facebook, and (b) friendfeed.. because (a) that’s where everyone is, and (b) that’s where hardly anyone is.. anyway – thanks for tuning in..
