I’m still alive

Just to let you know that I am still alive and haven't disappeared off to the great Community of Practice in the sky. I must admit that I am still trying to get used to this new form of communication, which requires a different way of looking at things. It's a kind of drop in everyday/chat at the coffee machine medium and I'm just not yet into the habit of it. I'm also trying to get used to the technology - I posted a comment with roughly the same contents as this and it disappeared into the ether somewhere. I think it would be useful for us to record our experience of getting to grips with this new form as we go along. In a couple of months it will be very difficult to remember what it was like when this all seemed very new (Anu, you're excused this last comment as the most experience Blogger amongst us). I volunteer to be the Blogging ingenue who asks the daft questions and owns up to any frustrations or inability to make the thing work for me.
