Comments on the internet is certainly no substitute for one-on-one communication. H J and I have made amends, apologising to one another for flaring up in the comment thread. In looking back during the aftermath, a couple of things become clearer. Yay for hindsight!
It seems to me that the most grief in such exchanges is [...]

A New Church?
November 4th, 2007 · 4 Comments

As I have the job of architect of this little homestead in the noosphere, I have been dreaming up a new architecture over the past few years. (The first pre-alpha prototype was developed in mid-2005. That [...]
