As the repository of my thoughts and research, I’m frequently adding or revising content on hanisarji.com.

If you read the log, please note that if an entry begins with ($), then any files I link to in that entry requires a paid membership.

Update for 2022: Entries prefaced with ($L) are about the Subscriber Library, which requires a paid subscription. As the log shows, this library is being actively developed. Access to it is forthcoming.
