Today, 14 March 2024, is the 18th anniversary of this blog. I returned to the first month’s posts to see how things have changed.
There were 22 of them. A gratifying number still had useful information. Gene-O-Rama, not being held this year, was the topic for two, and I wondered about the links. How many still work? Here they are.
