Didn't it used to be impossible to neatly delete our writeups without supervisory intervention? Very glad to see some sanity has prevailed over stupidity in that policy. Maybe that happened a long time ago. Maybe I would have stuck around more if clunky interface mechanics hadn't been elevated to the pedestal of policy.

So I have a new "mission drive within Everything": to sweep up my dust. All my naive little thought-bites from over a quarter of a lifetime ago, before a quarter becomes a third or more. Bare-bones factuals forever superseded by Wikipedia on one hand or UrbanDictionary on the other. Book reviews and the like superseded by Amazon reviews. Daylogs, dreamslogs and nightmares will be relocated to my blawg.

If you don't know where that is, then you never really knew me anyway.

"...scientific and technological progress depended on an empirical habit of thought, which could not survive in a strictly regimented society."

I'm a dilettante. This undoubtedly reflects a certain poverty of focus.
