Right. It has been busy few months and it seems like there is some blogging due. Since the results of the latest batch of experiments I have been busy with are inconclusive, I thought to do a non-experimental post in the meantime, just to keep my ~500 (whoha-just-went-down-to-380-overnight-was-it-something-i-said.
