Dis Clam ‘ere
Alabaster Crippens doesn't entirely believe in objective truth, therefore he can neither confirm or deny the accuracy of any statement, image or impression caused by, or displayed on, these pages of the so called 'internet'. He does however not want to get sued, even if the lawyers, legal system, and the concept of jurisprudence doesn't exist. Therefore if you believe the nonsense posted on here you do so entirely at your own risk. In other words: Don't sue me 'cause I might not mean it. Basically, anything you hear from anyone is unreliable, so if you want the 'truth' you need the perspectives of as many people as you can get..ideally people who are trustworthy and close to the particular 'truth' you wish to inspect. If you start trusting idiots with silly (and obviously made up) names then you're developing some kind of problem. Check your sources, examine their own politcal (or other) motivation, remember that anything people say is opinion unless you are certain that they speak the 'truth'. Even your own eyes can lie. Trust me on that one. Or don't..it doesn't bother me. Finally, everything written here is, to the best of my knowledge written by me and I reserve my right to be recognised as the author of these works. Any input from other sources should be clearly shown, if you note a mistake or anything..tell me..I'll try and sort out the problem. Please ask me if you want to use anything for commercial reasons...I probably won't mind but I need to know I'm not supporting anything I don't want to support. This is an attempt at a legal notice written without legal knowledge. Just follow the principles, I think most of you get what I mean, even if it won't stand up in a court of law. Just be polite you know...like in the good ole days.

A Musical Meditation – Music Moves Me
So, after yesterday’s post accidentally slipped into a maudlin meditation on my musical needs. I ended up sending an e-mail that carried on talking about music even more. I’m just reposting a chunk of what I said there here. Then … Continue reading
Ponderous Ramble – What Motivates Me and Makes Me Who Me Are?
So, first up the good bit. I’ve finished my Nano. Well that’s not entirely true. I got to the 50K boundary after which I could call myself a winner. I dived over the cliff and through the finish line with … Continue reading

[The following is a transcript of notes made on the second half of a train journey from Brighton to St Albans. I'm gonna be accurate to the feeling of the moment and just write what I wrote in the notepad. … Continue reading
Tiredness and Creativity – I am now an artist
Something different. Here we explore the link between me being silly and me not having had enough sleep. Basically, after the previously mentioned gig, I didn’t get enough sleep and had to get the train back to Brighton. Lovely journey, … Continue reading

Want to post but have to focus on Nano and other things. Too busy to write anything real but want to give you something good. Raincoaster saves the day with an ‘inspirational’ (possibly demotivational…depends on your character type more than … Continue reading

Capitalism, Bigotry and Beats – What’s Hip Hop really all about?
So, I decided I was going to write something today and couldn’t work out which one of the many that came to mind I should right about. The other two plans involve gender identity and me, and Freud and Bullshit. … Continue reading
Nanowrimo Disaster Averted (or rather rectified through mass of drunken effort)
Had a great evening writing at work after a lovely day meeting up with all the local nanomonkeys. Wonderful wonderful, until I got ready to go and ‘backed up’ my writing onto my pen drive. Only problem was I had … Continue reading

Gender in Half Life 2: Episode One – Will Alyx ever get her hands dirty?
So this is half silly I know, but only half silly. As I was playing through Half-Life 2: Episode One (which incidentally, was brilliant, the game still looks gorgeous and runs smoothly, expanding the narrative and raising a few questions … Continue reading
Cipater – Autechre
Hmm, really crunchy beats (I mean seriously crunchy), with a nice smooth bassline underneath (very low in the mix) thoughtful whining noises ambulate around the main beat too. Very Nice Its a bit like being in a quite funky trash … Continue reading

Hooray for Rumsfeld and the Orchestra of Death – Finally the bastard conductor is out of the way (although he may just be first Violin)
So, I’ll start off by saying I know next to nothing about US Politics. But this bought a smile to my face. Everything I know about Rumseld indicates he’s an absolutely reprehensible idiot. I just found out that Nixon..that’s right … Continue reading
Nanowrimo Update – Vikings and Vegetarians at a breakneck pace
Well, not quite breakneck. But certainly plodding along at a reasonable rate. The only stalls have been my hectic weekend (which seems to be overrunning) but I’m getting some done everyday, and I expect today to work out pretty well … Continue reading

This has nothing to do with the Neverwinter Nights 2 Review ‘Scandal’
While the above is true, it was this series of events, as I read about them at Penny arcade, that got me thinking about RPG computer games and I what I like about the different types. From what I understand … Continue reading
