I just wanted to wish a happy new year to all of the visitors that still come to the site. All the best for 2022!

I hope that this year I can invest a bit more time here. Last year was extremely quiet here due to a number of personal reasons, which basically pushed this website to the back of the queue of things to do. I remain optimistic that I can get it going again, let's wait and see...
