Apologies for not posting anything over the New Year, I am having trouble accessing certain websites from my home internet connection, one of which is rather annoyingly this blog.
I’ve got a few bits and pieces to write, hopefully I’ll sort the problem out in the next couple of days. In the meantime, Happy New Year to everyone.

DNS problems?
Try OpenDNS (if you’re not using them already):
208.67.222.222

We (your readers) certainly missed your writings Tim. Happy New Year and Merry Christmas to you from St.Petersburg.
We are looking forward for your new posts and insightful observation.
Happy New Year Spy! Just browsing the old internet and thought I would check out where my old friend was and what he was doing. Answer seems to be freezing your nuts off in Russia and causing havoc with the local petrol stations – excellent!
Kate and I are well. Nothing terribly exciting to report. Send our love to Julia and speak soon mate.

Tim, I started to worry.
Happy New Year Steve! Great to hear from you. I’ll drop you a line this weekend.
Tatyana,
All is well. Blame Russian ISPs for your worries!
