arkady's body is not so much a temple as a flat conversion. Due July. || Freda is, of course, delighted at the prospect of getting to be the big sister.
I think we survived Christmas. Freda got a bike. I did the same trick to her that my parents did to me: bike in lounge so I could see her face. Success: 1, 2. I got a couple of books. Arkady made a BLOODY AMAZING Christmas mead that smells and tastes just like a Christmas pudding, except about 20% ABV. Christmas treat: lightly microwaved Tesco Value Stilton. OH MY GOD THIS IS WONDERFUL. The destruction of all life on Earth is a small price.
What I did on my holidays: cleaned up OpenOffice on Wikipedia. I am interested in your thoughts as readers.
RationalWiki got Redditdotted and I didn't even notice. So our work on the servers paid off, then.
Has First Monday ever published a useful and important paper? I see only bad papers on good subjects: trolling for academic hits. (Though they've had the good taste to take down "A Critique of Vulgar Raymondism" at long last.)
