The Adventure of the Empty Blog

Some of you may be wondering: what happened to Holmesian Derivations?

Last December, all my sites got taken out by pharma-hackers. I’m doing my best to restore this site to the best of my abilities—moving to WordPress.com for extra security. I don’t trust quite a lot of my backups, so this all will be done little by little as I re-build.

On the upside, this means that you’ll get regular posts for quite some time, even if they’re oldies (I hope they’re goodies as well).

What’s coming up next, both from the archives and upcoming plans?

  • Older essays that don’t appear on Spontaneous ∂erivation.

  • The Sherlock Holmes Redux—a review of the original canon, the BBC Radio 4 series directed by Bert Coules, and (when possible) the Granada series starring Jeremy Brett.

  • Thoughts on the more recent and modern BBC series Sherlock.

  • Some book reviews.

  • Snarking.

I’m going to make it back from my personal Reichenbach.
