Not much blogging in recent weeks for many reasons. I've been busy both at home and at work, but my free time has also been directed elsewhere. At some point, I mean to post at length about my readings on the Peloponnesian War. I've also picked up the first volume of Dewey Lambin's naval series: a little raw but generally rewarding. At present I am reading about Napoleon's invasion of Russia in 1812.
In addition, I have been playing with Linux. I finally abandoned Fedora and installed SUSE 10.1 instead, whch has worked remarkably well. I still have some work to do to get SAMBA working so that I can share files with my wif'e's Windows machine, and I spent some time configuring spam filters, but generally the configuration process has not been overly painful.
