I'm shutting up shop, now, for the holidays. It's been a funny year... lots of news, lots of fear, not much of a change in house prices. At this end of things, we were planning a couple of big changes. 1 - We're overdue a redesign and it would have happened in 2011 were it not for an unusually weighty workload for both me and my Rat and Mouse partner. We're not complaining. But we are sorry, and we're hoping to start talking to designers very early in the new year. 2 - We're also looking for new writers... experts in specific fields working within the industry who might like to provide some entertaining and provocative posts in exchange for some links and notoriety. If that sounds like you, please get in touch.

Finally - thanks for reading in 2011. Have a great Christmas. I'll be back on Wednesday December 28. xxx

Go party...
