Support stuff.

Well, I promised I'd write a real update and stuff, but before I do, I just wanted to say yay for me for getting an AWE mention* and a changelog mention** in one week.

* A semi-regular support thing - people who notice really good answers send them to the AWE person who collates them and then posts them in big posts every now and then so we can all see and be impressed by them. It stands for Answered With Elegance.
** The changelog for the LiveJournal code, that is. I figured out a bug in one of the new styles and submitted a solution to it which was snapped up and used.

Reading project, phase 2

OK. I've had a look at some internet resources on copyright (yes, I know, if I'm really concerned, I should go to an actual lawyer) and as far as I can see if I post my read-aloud mp3s to a restricted community, I will be in the same position as I would be reading a story to a group of friends, which is covered under fair use, so I think that's what I'm going to do. Anyone from my friends list will be welcome to join the community when it's set up and I'll also accept introductions of other people by people already in the community.

So, of course, the next question is:
[Poll #506393]

I'm looking for a word/words that sound nice and also mean something appropriate.

(no subject)

I've been reading Nialls posts about Accelerando and have come to an important realisation. These are stories I am not interested in. They're not stories about people and that's what I'm interested in. Telling stories which tells me something about people.

In a not entirely unrelated note, I re-watched A Few Good Men last night and noticed for the first time that it was written by Aaron Sorkin (the writer of the West Wing). Which, although unknown, was entirely unsurprising. The passion of the characters, the clear treatment of moral issues, acknowledging the ambiguities, and above all the rhetoric. It should have been obvious.
