Archive

New (old) work on the way! I'm aiming to get everything re-edited and back up before the kids are out of school in June. It's basically all that I am doing.

Following that, my present plan is to move the archive off of Bear and onto a static host at Porkbun, with unified styles between the two hosts. I've been working on it and I think it'll be pretty.

What I'm really looking forward to, is closing up this whole archive and carrying on with new work.
