Well, after spending around 40 days offline in the last couple of months, I'm delighted to finally have what seems to be a stable internet connection at home again!
Unfortunately, it did rather scupper my plans for this weblog over the period of completing my dissertation: I started out making occasional public posts on relevant topics I thought others might find interesting, with private posts covering to-do lists and reminding myself what I'd done for the purposes of writing-up. However, once my online time was limited these activites were dropped as I used the time to carry out the research instead and keep in touch with friends and family, which I do almost entirely online nowadays.
Now there's just over three weeks left until my deadline: I'll make an effort to revive this weblog, but of course my top priority has to be writing the dissertation itself, so posts may end up being delayed somewhat!

Wow!
Hadn't seen this until today. Nice. :)
Anyway, 'twas good to read your comments on CS.
Hope things are going well....
