Hopefully I'm now on the other side of my periodic down cycle, which usually involves me being completely unmotivated to do anything, including updating this blog. Actually I've been quite busy, so I have a lot of updating to do here. I'm going to make a series of posts on different topics because I have a lot of stuff to write about that might get pretty boring as a single post.

I'll use this post to draw attention to the WORKS blog for those interested in the upcoming trip to Sri Lanka. That blog was not very active for a while due to some technical problems, but it's up now with new information being posted on a much more regular basis than here.
