# Preface

Welcome to the second issue of Circumlunar Transmissions!  The time between the
first and second issues has perhaps been longer than had originally hoped, but
rest assured the project is very much still alive.  Expect new issues to
continue to appear, at exactly the pace that we end up completing them; no
faster and no slower.

Any sort of unifying set of themes and philosophies to the content of the zine
will arrive organically over time, if at all, reflecting (as mieum put it so
well in the inaugural preface) the diverse interests, talents and backgrounds of
the Sundog community.  For now we're still in "topic salad" mode, although as it
turned out this issue has a common theme of Morse code uniting some of the
content.  Minimalistic communication technology as focus of CS interest should
surprise precisely no one, of course.

But it's not all tech!  There's a delightful short story, a new Circumlunar
Mixtape and more of the inimitable advice of Jone.  I, for one, hope the zine
continues to move in the direction of a solid balance between technical and non-
technical content.
