Rebuilding the blog is a massive job, but I’m actually quite enjoying it. I’m enjoying both the end result, and the countless wonderful memories that get triggered by it. I now have 246 posts in the new format. Here’s a look further back. On August 26, 2008, I posted:...

As the weather gets warmer and the snow keeps falling, I have a whole lot of projects going on. The rebuild of my blog is coming along well – I have 179 posted so far. This is post number 1,229 since I started the blog on April 25, 2006,...
