Poor little blog

Published on December 5, 2006

There’s obviously a limit to how much text I can face entering on the Intenet at one time. Since I’m musing on SecondLife over in the schome wiki at the moment, that doesn’t give me much time to look at my blog – or anyone else’s for that matter. I’m increasingly frustrated at the moment […]
