Regular readers will have noticed gaps of various lengths between entries here. Some times this is because I have nothing to say or to point to. Some times it is because I have too much to say and haven’t articulated my thoughts enough to put down anything but a deranged ramble. Very occasionally it will be because my computer or internet connection isn’t working. And, finally, there are the odd occasions when I am away from easy internet access.
As I write this I am anticipating a large gap through much of December and the the first half of January. During this time I hope to be enjoying a summer in Chile and working on some ideas to extend the the idea of purposive drift. So any of the reasons for not posting may apply.
In the meantime there may be a few posts over the next week and then probably silence.
So to all of you who take the time to dip in here, have a good winter/summer break and let’s look forward to the coming year, which, if we can successfully navigate the alarms and scares it looks certain to bring, promises to be very interesting.
