The end is nigh...

It's great to see people carrying on the conversations even after the assessment deadline: so the blog has been more than just a chore, then? Don't answer that - I know it's been hard work, but hopefully also enjoyable for some of the people some of the time.

This is just to let you know that the blog will be de-activated in the next 24 hours or so. Although it's quite an informal forum, it's still got an official status as part of a University of Auckland course, so it's been important for Kevin and myself to monitor it carefully throughout. But with the onslaught of marking and exams, we cannot continue to do this indefinitely...

I hope it isn't too much of a trauma for anyone who has become a blog junkie this semester (we know who you are!). So get in soon with any final pearls of wisdom or wit... and then go and set up your own blogs! This one will be archived online for posterity for as long as those tremendous human beings at Google see fit. Thanks for keeping me and Kevin busy and for making this blog a really interesting place to hang out this semester.

Best of luck to all with your exams.

Over and out...
