As an unintended consequence of the RSS business, As Above now has an ugly little Livejournal feed, for anyone who feels that way inclined. But why are there no configurable "aggregation of any old RSS feeds of the user's choice" web pages out there, pace the Haddock blogs? Or why are they hiding from me? Or is everyone except me using suave, desk-mounted, oak-inlaid, talking-robot aggregation software, instead of anything so boring as web pages? Comments? ]
One of the best sounds the world can make is that of a bunch of keys in freefall, jangling weightlessly against one another as they fall from a lazy zenith. My keys don't make that sound any more, but if I stand very still, if I listen hard enough, then I can begin to hear my existence making it. Comments? ]

This self-referential aptitude test was driving me insane over lunch; I need to print out another copy and scrawl less biro on it. Interestingly, someone almost solved it with genetic algorithms, which I didn't think would work in any reasonable time frame, it being so insanely interdependent and foothill-shaped. Hmm.

More Michael Caine spam to the acronymous Hours of Inform address: "Hoi, Give me one good reason." - it's almost worth making the effort to construct careful feedlines, if it makes my inbox more amusing than irritating. But not yet. Comments? ]

As Above finally has an RSS feed, of some description, if anyone wants it. Comments? ]
Four weeks ago I was struggling to complete more than a handful of clues in the Guardian's Saturday crossword, and getting sand kicked in my face - over the weekend I managed to biro in sixteen separate clues, and it's all thanks to Pretty Girl in Crimson Rose (8), which managed to crystallise my appreciation of a lot of the cryptic crossword secrets, as well as irradiating me with a greater appreciation of their construction, to the point where I now disassemble road signs in my head without really meaning to. I still fear the stupid abbreviations that I've never heard of, but at least their existence gives me an excuse to give up and play Hunt the Smallweed instead. Comments? ]
