Alternatively · You might be looking for my previous weblog, my home page, my photos, or my itineraries. Or maybe you’re looking for my Micro.blog, Twitter, or GitHub pages? The XML Guild? Balisage? XML Summer School? Goodness, I don’t know. Is it silly travel maps you’re after? Or timezone details? Home made calendars? A clock? A countdown timer? Shoes or ships or sealing wax? Cabbages or kings? Maybe Google could help?
