Ready, set, go (again)!

I’m returning to the blogosphere after a lengthy layoff. I had previously been using a very minimalist blog system which was agreeably simple, but could not be maintained via web interface. The new system promises to be more convenient to update, so perhaps it will encourage me to post more often. I will open the festivities by transferring some of my older posts (at any rate, the ones that have not become excessively dated).
