Meta: Hello, world!

Welcome to my brand new blog! It is a work-in-progress, but I'm very pleased with it so far. There's a whole lot I need to figure out - tags, excerpts, and such like, but it'll be quite interesting to figure out. An especial vote of thanks to the Debian project, Gandi.net and Movable Type Open Source, without whose help I wouldn't have gone from a new server to a completely functional blog in about five hours.
