STC Down­size

by Elio

No, not in con­tent, mainly in the head­ing. The old one seemed ven­er­a­ble, be­ing nearly 8 years old. The main rea­son for the change, how­ever,  is to make the blog more ac­ces­si­ble to other me­dia. We thought it's about time that our read­ers can con­sider not just small things but also small de­vices, no? So we – and "we" means Chris Con­dayan and An­drea Gwart­ney, our gen­er­ous help­ing hands at ASM – strug­gled hard to pol­ish the blog lay­out. Not read­ing STC on a tablet or smart­phone? Try it, it's fun!

  • A "Compte Rendu"

    by Elio — Some dis­tin­guished French jour­nals, both old and con­tem­po­rary, are called "Comptes ren­dus", a term that to me has the right sound for this en­try. Loosely trans­lated it means "ac­counts ren­dered." I wish to ren­der an ac­count of this blog's first six month of ex­is­tence. Some sta­tis­tics to date: 46 posts,..
