I’ve been largely off-line for a week, for a couple of reasons: Mike Dunford was visiting, and then I had to prepare for a course. That preparation was perfect: the only students who turned up were in the wrong place. They ones who didn’t missed a 2 hour lecture (14.00-16.00) where time just seemed to go so quickly:
My first ever YouTube video.
Anyway, the Aaaagh is because my laptop and Firefox are conspiring has decided that I have to go to the Nature pages through the Helsinki University proxy. The upshot of this is that it doesn’t let me get to my blog. I have Google Chrome installed too, that signs me in but won’t let me access my account either. The only way I’ve found to get in is to use the QuickPost button I have on Firefox, but that only seems to give me access behind the scenes. So, one way or another, my blogging experience is being borked. I guess MT4 has fixed the problem of the boring bloggers.
Commiserations and keep trying and good luck!
Thanks. I wanted to shorten the link to my latest post, but that would send everyone to the Helsinki library proxy (I have an add-on in Firefox to do it).

Just for the hell of it, here’s another sunset photo:
