One of my favourite animals is the hare. To escape being detected, it jumps sideways to break its scent trail.It is then faced with an entirely different landscape to work out a route through. I keep this in mind,...
Here is an eclectic link-dump of interesting stuff I have been reading. No explanations other than the post title and the assurance that I found each one pause worthy. Knitting the Web: We Need Interlinkers! The inspiration for this...
