Back from the depths…

By John Freeman on October 18, 2011

My apologies for the lack of posts over the past week (and special thanks to Jeremy Briggs for stepping up to the plate). Unfortunately, my computer had a hard drive failure (now fixed thanks to Ubertechs in Lancaster) which meant working across a range of different devices instead of my normal one.

As a result of this, I’ve also unfortunately lost a great deal of past email, so if you have sent information about new projects recently, please send them again to the usual address. Thanks!
