At least a post a day...

(to keep the doctor away). I am going to attempt to post at least once or twice a day for the next few weeks just to see if something interesting can evolve by waxing esoteric on books, collecting, dealing and various other sundry issues. Thanks to those of you who have already discovered this and sent messages of support (though, admittedly, I am somewhat baffled as to how you found it and...er...why).

As the wry and wonderful O. Wilde is quoted as saying, "Anyone can make history. Only a great man can write it." (N.B. I am not writing history here ). Then again when asked, as he passed through customs, "Do you have anything to declare?" he responded, "Nothing but my own genius." I am always tempted to answer with that line when passing through customs...but my dislike of cavity searches has, thus far, kept me from it (though I really would like to have seen the agent's reaction to OW).

Because connectivity, curiosity, and boredom can be a dangerous mix.

<true-geek>I'm sure you're aware that you dropped a letter at the end of your binary message on Infocalypse.</true-geek>

Fair enough...the same has certainly led me astray more than once. Another two points for finding Infocalypse (my, but doesn't that need a good update/rebuild). I used to change the binary on occasion, but not of late...think you may have suffered a cut/paste error...it trans'ed complete just now?!?

You, of course, know the quotation, "there are 10 kinds of people in the world, those that understand binary and those who do not."

Well...Once in a while you're presented with a fairly concise list when you Google old acquaintances.
