Happy New Year

Well, the year has certainly started off in a decidedly odd way. At the very least, I’ve commenced it the way I hope to finish it — with broadband Internet at home. Yay! Those couple of weeks without while I moved were… wearying.

In any case, this hopefully marks the resumption of irregular blogging.

UPDATE 2004/01/02:

When I say irregular, I mean it. White Glenn has posted about his new year’s celebrations and mentions that he watched CNN and read an Honor Harrington novel. They’re great books — fun characters, some excitement, some nice twists and tension, and always a good ol’ happy ending. For those who don’t know, they’re sci-fi/space opera, and the first book or two in the series is available for free in the wonderful Baen Free Library. What I was really amazed to find after reading the books is how closely they follow the naval tradition exemplified by the Hornblower series (the first episode of which was just on ABC), and the Jack Aubrey novels, now a major motion picture. The characters, the plots, the tactics, the strategies, the politics, all of it is straight out of the history books, albeit mixed and matched quite a bit, with some entertaining science fiction hooks thrown in for good measure. Anyway, I just thought I’d rave for a moment. It’s my blog, I’ll do what I please. Nyeah.
