Still alive, and kicking, and writing...

Lines from Lines has had a somewhat extended summer break. I've not been idle (honestly), but holidays, loads of work and life in general have conspired to keep me busy elsewhere. I'm going to try and make up for that 'silence' over the next few weeks with some concise posts on a range of subjects that have been exercising my mind and occupying my time. This is the first of those concise posts.
