Dear Prof. Tord,
I am so impressed by this blog.
I am just wondering why did you name it pliny? It does not seem to reflect your identity.
Otherwise this is nice and thanks for taking trouble to upload as much information as I see. It is a rich blog. I look forward to learning more about some of these ICTs.

Dear Robert
Hi and thanks
Pliny is the English version of Plinius.
Plinius the Elder was a Roman scholar – he wrote a kind of encyclopedia called Historia Naturalis. His nephew – Plinius the Younger – was a great writer of letters.
Regards Tord
