Jake Marsh is following me on Twitter- I feel honoured, and kind of scared that my humble blog and my tweets/twitterings(?!) are getting noticed.  I feel that now I need to start forging links with such like-minded people if my humble establishment is to survive on the high seas of the internet (I love metaphors).
