Movement
Little bit of housekeeping.
My e-mail address has moved. I don’t publish it here as standard (though you can always contact me using ‘poke the beast’ but those of you who know it already, it’s basically the same, only it’s googlemail.com instead of ntlworld.com .
Please continue to send me whatever you like. Right now the cupboard [...]
Wish me luck
Okay, so this morning, I dreamt a particularly metaphysical xkcd comic.
Basically, the title was steam train. In the main area was a blank rectangle, the size of the average comic strip. Drawn all around it were things like needle and thread, scissors and things. The mouse over alt-text was ‘Go on, you know you want [...]
