So I had been toying with the idea of getting back to the blog and more regularly writing / posting little tips and tricks. I even starting taking some notes but because perfect is always the enemy of the good it never quite materialized.

But the relatively broad discussion spawned by last week’s short rant on Suggests != Depends made a few things clear. There appears to be an audience. It doesn’t have to be long. And it doesn’t have to be too polished.

So with that, let’s get the blogging back from micro-blogging.

This note forms post zero of what will a new segment I call R⁴ which is shorthand for relatively random R rambling.

Stay tuned.
