Welcome

I have been thinking recently that I need to start a blog. Like so many other things in my life I have left doing so until the last minute. My new wife, Caroline, and I are leaving on a honeymoon to Thailand in 3 days. Last time we were in Thailand we populated blogs on a friends server that is no longer running blog software. Our postings are probably now very hard to recover (the responsible party can not be bribed with bottles of alcohol).

So it seemed like a good plan to start a new one on blogspot. Google archives everything. Now that is both a comforting and scarey thought. 20 years from now will people be able to search for keywords that point to this page? I suspect so. What will they be?

OK, the name. Those that know me know I use this handle for my online presence. I won't go into how I came up with it (it makes me sound childish, not that it bothers me) but I will give a guide to the proper pronuciation. Its a long 'u' like flute, or dispute without the 'di'. I added the umlaut as a hint. Think of the 1960 Stanley Kubrick movie.

Now I must go pack.
