235 Stories served. 33 per day despite difficulties.
Including being frozen out of the site last night for no particular reason. Fortunately I was caught up for the most part, but stacked up for today are my ruminations on the world of business and speculations about Le Tour.
All of which I will get to when I do.
This is actually the hardest diary to execute, and yet perhaps the most valuable because it lets you track story trends over time. It should be a Sunday morning feature.
