Blogging note

Posting will be light for a while due to a personal crisis.

For some good news, see here (if that link doesn't work, try this one and scroll up).

Update (Friday evening): Thanks everyone for the good wishes. While I'm not going to go into any detail about what happened -- it's a personal matter -- I will say that the last five and a half days have been by far the worst period of my whole life. But things are getting better now. There will still be some hard times ahead, but the worst of the crisis is over.
