About Me

This is a fairly new site, a point I'm sure is pretty obvious. I'm in the middle of a vast amount of work at the moment and so my blogging and online reading time is quite limited. Any changes to this site will be sporadic at best but I do intend to come back and start some serious blogging once my work is done, which is...sometime in December. Sad huh?

About the site

I plan to use this site as an outlet for my thoughts, ideas and a medium through which I can arrange my online findings. Topics covered here centre around abstract ideas, philosophy for example. I'll put links to various articles I find which I like or are relevant to me... It's your choice whether you need them. This is not a personal blog. That one's floating somewhere in the Net, just like every other blog you stumble across and then forget.
