New articles in the Digital Architecture series:
Server 101: Digital Foundations
Server 102: Access Everywhere
These are probably only going to appeal to those who are motivated by the premise I set out in Digital Architecture.

Thank you to everyone who has already provided feedback. These are for you, so I welcome any feedback in future.

The first fun feature is the Marginalia. See also the new sections on the home page, updated now with the latest content.
Updated: why, much like the cupboard under the stairs, your brain might be nothing more than a happy accident.
