It turns out I don't blog—

• It seems that with a job, my geek levels outside of work are very low, which has meant that i haven't made much progress on many of my projects. Today I decided to not bother recreating a blog when I update my site (honestly, its nearly there!) There will be something else in its place, but it wont be chronologically based. Oh, and you'll probably have to sign up, to limited the number of annoying little cretins posting annoying crap.

• Muse have a new album and it is rather great.

Charles Dickens' Little Dorrit, a glorious book, has a fantastically awesome chapter about a fictional government institution called the Circumlocution Office, in which people go in, fill out endless paperwork, get referred back and forth between hundreds of different offices, wait impatiently while various clerks and officials discuss whether or not they're able to begin the inquiry processes preliminary to considering whether or not they will be able to look for ways to investigate possibilities for being able to help... and many of the clients never ever come out again. Worth reading the book just for that chapter. It's hilarious.

Sounds grand. Douglas Adams wrote lots of stuff like that too, including a text adventure game in the 1980s with the once mighty Infocom. The asterix movie 'The Twelve Tasks of Asterix also features a similar set up
