It has been a chaotic summer. I've moved, bought a house built just after WWII, sold my old house, started a new job, and started unpacking while simultaneously spending some time with the kids and renovating our "new" house. I especially appreciate the help and good spirits of Lady Quixote during this transition.

I appreciate all your emails asking me to return to blogging, they were very thoughtful. I have had a lot of time for thinking over the summer and I look forward to making the time to actually blog about some ideas. I have also given some thought to how I want to grow Solport.

Before my break, Kevin Whited suggested I switch over to Nucleus. After seeing that Google wasn’t going to change the Blogger model (all the cool stuff is under Blogger Pro and even then it does not compare favorable to some of the alternatives), I decided to go ahead and switch. So my site will probably undergo many changes as I start figuring out how to use Nucleus.

One of the changes is that I have decided to allow comments on my blog. This was another reason for switching to Nucleus. I find that most of my readers – at least those who email me – are an extremely knowledgeable bunch and I wish to encourage their participation in the site. To better reflect this new emphasis, I am renaming my blog. Henceforth, it shall be called Admiral Quixote’s Roundtable.
