I haven't been as present around the Sift these last couple of weeks - I've gone back to work for at least the next six months. It's depressing and bleak after 7 months of working on projects from home, but it had to be done.

I'll be around in the Australian evenings while most of you are embedded in your beds - but my overall time will be curtailed.

The nice thing is that the Sift seems to function exactly the same without my presence. I know, totally shocking - being a cyber-solipsist I thought for sure the site would disappear unless I was here pressing the reload button on recent comments every 30 seconds.
