It's the 9th Sept 2016. This is the end of my second week of my post-university life. The intention to finish some books to add to the Versatile catalogue is not going quite as planned. Unfortunately, I've become very involved in my Prepositions Project, which is starting from scratch. I should be finishing things that are much closer to completion. 

In this time, I've also remade the Versatile site and launched it on 7th inst. This is Versatile's first ever blog posting.

And I wrote a page in my old site about comparing synonyms using corpus data:

And there has been a huge swap-over of books. I had borrowed many books from the university libraries and my office was full of my own books. I'd say we're about even now!

And to celebrate the new life, I bought myself a proper iMac, which is far more adorable than I'd expected. How on earth did I write several whole books on my MacBook Air, which btw is sitting diminished to the left of the iMac. But it has been a very faithful companion for four years.
