It has been far too hot for me to even contemplate thinking for at least the last week. I’m British, damn it – I can’t handle nice weather. As the various Sharpener<\/a> people I had a drink with on Sunday will testify, I tend to melt and go pathetic in these temperatures.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, I got interviewed about blogging and the like a couple of weeks ago by a chap from Cafe Babel – and the results are now online<\/a>:<\/p>\n
