Chaos in abundance

“Chaos is found in greatest abundance wherever order is being sought. It always defeats order, because it is better organized.”

Pratchett, Terry. 1994. Interesting Times. London: Victor Gollancz.

It happened again.

On September 23, 2016 I posted the following:

When I went to upload my latest blog post -- which featured a table, numerous quotations, witty commentary, piercing insights, and a bibliography -- it vanished.
All of it. Completely. Gone.

The post which should have gone up October 19th suffered a similar fate. Similar, but not identical.

Fortunately I've become cynical and wary and apt to bite strangers. I saved (as HTML) most -- but sadly, not all -- of the post. So when the online version decided to join the choir celestial, I had a partial backup.

Add in work and having been fighting against a stubborn three week cold (I can cough for you, if you like -- really, it's no trouble), and this explains my tardiness.

I'll post the completed piece a little later this week. Until then, I'll be trying to maintain as much of a bulwark against catastrophe as I can manage.
