In my entry of December 6, you may recall that I briefly considered joining the ranks of email newsletter writers like my vaunted friends, and then: I didn’t do that. I did look into the available tools for integrating some kind of subscription-by-email service to this blog! But I could not find any that work the way I had imagined, where you just put an address in a form and then the thingy sends you a nicely formatted message containing the body of the post each time I write something new. Once again the dead technology of RSS remains too advanced for our modern world to comprehend.<\/p>\n

But hey, maybe you don’t like RSS and you do like emails! If so then we don’t need an entire tech startup to intermediate that. You can just write me<\/a> and I will add you to a very simple mailing list, albeit not so simple that it lacks a confirmation step. Thereafter I will send you an email when I write something new.
