What a mess!

I apologise for the sorry appearance of our blog. We were attacked by malware – as were all the other sundry websites that I host – and it's taken a while to get things under control again. This blog will not return to the way it was before; the software was too old and in fact that's what allowed the bad people in. But I hope to make it look a little better sometime in the near future. For Japanese readers, in particular, things are difficult. All the Japanese text on the blog is completely destroyed and will have to be replaced... I'm working on that now
