Some of my friends may have found that they have been a bit confused in recent days. I’ve been updating my Facebook presence and have taken the decision to deactivate one account and start afresh from another. As I have said in the past, I have been on Facebook since it became available to the United Kingdom through the University of Oxford system and I believe those in Tabland could access it too. Since then, I had built up a huge number of ‘friends’ and whilst I had indeed met most of them, I was rarely in contact with them … Continue reading A new era.
