Astute readers of the blog will have noticed a new item in my sidebar: “HORansome’s ‘All-a-Twitter'” which, for even more astute readers, will indicate that I have signed up with Twitter ((Yet I continue to avoid Facebook like the plague; what is up with that?)). If you twitter, or tweet, or whatever, why not follow me in my endeavours. I’m hoping to use Twitter for more than just my ‘witty’ asides; it’s probably a better system for detailing the boring minutiae of my thesis-writing.
