Too Clever by Half

Technological Humiliation

Argh...I should really be able to master this. Unfortunately I tried to do something innovative with the blogspot platform which it obviously didn't like as none of the weekends postings appeared. I'm restoring these now en masse (ok not too big a masse) but it has been a bit of a 'stream of consciousness' weekend so there may be the odd continuity error around the time-line of postings, which I can't really be bothered proof-reading to check out, but apologise for.
