Oh dear...

... can it really have been six months - half a year - since I last posted?

I could blame increasing tiredness and increasing inability to keep up with the essentials in life - but I've not formally given up.

I could try playing catch up but I think I'd go mad.]

I suppose I might have written about the international math conference I was invited to speak at about iPad apps. That was a challenge. (The week before I'd spoken at an internal university conference on iPad apps, but that was more 'general' and how they might be used for teaching). With the mathematicians I dreaded stepping on their expertise or trying to demo a graphing calculator. But it went well enough.

I could have written about the ongoing saga of the staffing review which is *still* filtering its way through but that would be too depressing. I now have more work and less assistance than I did before. In any case, I shall probably yet come back to that.

I could perhaps have written about experiences on the iPad 2, or the next conference I'm due to attend which supplies one to all delegates who booked in time, but perhaps I'll cover that when it happens in January.

I could have written about my senior colleague - who looks after our institutional repository - who is rather surprised a paper that I wrote is in the top ten downloaded.

And I'm sure other stuff happened as well. If it comes to mind and seems relevant, I may yet make a note of it.

But I shall press on from fresh now. Like it or lump it. And don't hold your breath...
