In The Beginning...

This is actually an illusion. It doesn't exist. I'm just here to pal around with certain friends who shall obviously not remain nameless, seeing as they're listed...
So, be warned, there may or may not be more here. Depends whether I really want to ramble in an obscure but public forum. We shall see.

Book memeing

Okay, Mistral, I give in.

Actually, I hate the meme of memeness. Well, perhaps not as much as my friend Johnathan, but the concept of memes, as ideas whose purpose in life is to spread like germs, well, that treats intelligence and imagination and the human spirit with contempt, so I don't like it.

However, I'll do this book thing. Cuz its sorta fun.

First, Mistral's list is like so:
J. K. Rowling
William Shakespeare
Robert Heinlein
Connie Willis
Diana Wynne Jones
C. S. Friedman
C. J. Cherryh
Tanith Lee
Dean Koontz
C. S. Lewis

My list...

J. K. Rowling (because I keep on thinking I will read the third book someday)
William Shakespeare
Robert Heinlein
Connie Willis
Diana Wynne Jones
Lois McMaster Bujold
Cordwainer Smith
Tanith Lee
Gillian Bradshaw
C. S. Lewis

Oh, LogJam!

I actually managed to download and install logjam onto my machine, so now I can, hmmm, do exactly the same thing as I did on the web interface, only do it in a separate window. What's the advantage of that?
Well, it can detect what music I'm playing, I guess that's nice.
I really really should go to bed, though this cough will probably keep me awake. (sigh)
