• Commented on Introducing Dead Lies Dreaming
  I am cursed with the belief that I have got good ideas and advice about things I have no talent or experience of, and other are cursed by my inability to refrain from delivering it. I have always liked the...
• Commented on Introducing Dead Lies Dreaming
  Well, the books sound delightfully dark and depressing. You've not been reading Peter Watts, have you?...
• Commented on Introducing Dead Lies Dreaming
  The decade's been a whole heap of shitty, but I've got to say I do like the new title. 'Dead Lies Dreaming' beats anything I came up with, by a long long mile; kudos to whoever chose it. As for...
• Commented on The Inevitable Brexit Thread (2)
  I was about to ask what your back-end (that's having these static page issues), but in order to comment I had to sign in to Movable Type... so I think that's my answer. Seeing as I'm a web-dev on the...

• Commented on A plaintive request
  The awful year-in-general has, for me, been offset by getting married, getting ready to be parents, being about to move in to our first home, and -- the other day -- finding out I'm probably a friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend of yours. Which...
