To all readers, in countries large or small, I wish you a great 2016!
Thank you once again for following this blog, for commenting and contributing, and for spreading the word by tweet or otherwise. Every year that passes I never cease to be amazed how this technology puts us all, far and wide, in touch with each other.

Peace, success, and happiness to you all.

With this post, I am going to bid you farewell for a couple of weeks, while I hunker down to finish my research thesis, which has been hanging around for far too long. Look forward very much to seeing you in September!
