I’ve been sick for the last little while, hence few updates. Getting
better (very) slowly, and there’s nothing to worry about, but that’s
why I haven’t been around much.
Timwi got me looking at Wikipedia again earlier, and I

Slowly regaining job security is good for my mental health.
Because I am a dork, I took pictures
of my cubicle at work. You can see there how well the big concrete
