An Update

Please don’t think I’ve been neglecting you! There has been a lot going on of late, some of which I will report on later, but I can tell you that I have been rendered temporarily homeless, my phone has been stolen, and my computer is (what’s new?) on the fritz. The damned fan is broken and so you’re lucky to get an hour out of it. Of course, before its latest round of hiccups, I took on a little charitable web design project for a certain non-profit London institution currently in its hour of need, so working on that has priority over compiling blog posts in the little time the aged laptop affords me. (If anyone wants to buy me a new MacBook – get in touch!).

Still, there is the office computer, a miserable Dell running miserable Windows on which I am forced to use miserable Internet Explorer (system administrators – that ominous tribe – forbid the downloading of more useful browsers like Safari, Firefox, etc.).

My computer woes have inhibited all my creative efforts! It’s funny (and worrying) how one’s thinking and operation can be so tied to a machine. The flip side of it is that you’re getting more word entries than image entries (even though my writing flows much more fluidly when typing on my Mac). So many damned images on my machine, most waiting for their ticket to come up so I will write what I hope will be an attractive, handsome, and informative article about whatever the subject matter is. You know I am a very visual person, but I am also a word person strangely.

If you’re lucky, perhaps we might tempt Alexander to make another appearance, though he’s currently in Paris trying to undermine French republicanism in an exceptionally asymmetric and perhaps not entirely logical fashion.

UPDATE: Just to clarify: please don’t think I’m homeless in the sense of sleeping rough on the streets. It’s merely that my flatmate fled the country and the landlord sold the place, so I’m currently staying with friends.

Homeless? Oh dear. What exactly are you doing right now, career-wise?
