I’ll be unusually busy - in a good way - during the next week plus a few days. So don’t be surprised if I don’t respond to emails right away. Please accept my advance apology, and be assured that I will get back to you eventually.

This site was off line for about 24 hours for what I’ll euphemistically refer to as “technical problems.” I think the issues have now been resolved.
One can join this site and comment on posts. That said, I automatically and immediately delete any membership applications that come from generic (random letters and numbers) yahoo, etc. email addresses and which do not include a real name, etc. Been getting a few of those the past week or so…

I hope to spend some additional time tweaking the converted site over [...]
I am having ongoing problems with the server used to present this web site. It is almost certain that the site will move to a new server before too long. I hope to retain the current address.
In the meantime, I am posting a parallel version of this site. If you follow dan’s outside you may [...]
During the past few weeks I have had some technical problems with the server that handles this web site. (I run my own server. At home.) I’m giving serious thought to transferring this blog to another service.
