Gentle readers, as you may have noticed, following our recent move to a new hosting provider, afoe has been riddled with problems, both on the front and on the back end, making it rather diffictult for us to post, and sometimes for you to read and comment.

This is just to let everyone know that we are doing various things behind the Euro curtain right now: fiddling with our MovableType installation, evaluating a new design, and so forth.
