So that restarting thing…

Right, so it has been a bit over two years since I said I was starting to write this blog. Obviously, I didn’t get too far.

Well, that isn’t fair to myself, as I have done many things in the time since I started reformatting my website. I just haven’t gotten around to actually writing more, or finishing things off. At least I knew then that I would only be posting irregularly.

Today I updated a bunch of the formatting, and even updated the CV page with publications from after I started at the Data Lab.

I might even push all of these changes and have the site go live this week. Might.

I do want to get this up, warts and all, to at least have something up to correct the embarrassing situation that there is still a website up that claims I hold a position I haven’t held for 5 years at this point.
