OK, the idea is that I will not be sending out enormous emails to everyone (and therefore will avoid the hate mail from clogging peoples inboxes up - other hate mail ("I'm so jealous!", etc) is still expected...). So, if you haven't heard from me it doesn't mean that I'm dead/in the custody of the mafia/I hate you... well, not necessarily....

Obviously some parts of the world will be easier to blog from than others. Don't be surprised if all goes quiet as I travel through Siberia/Mongolia/China!
