I just want to see if this still works

I haven't posted anything in this blog for so long, I'm amazed that I got back into it without an inquisition, and I just want to see what it looks like.

I already know that some updates during that gap have lost most of the formatting that designed into it.

Hey ho.

Terry Pratchett

This is not so much a blog, as an easy way for me to get some text up onto the Internet so that I can link to it.  Sorry.  You might find this list interesting, even so.
