The Nest of Vast Neon Wolf

One would think they are relegated to the big trash can in the sky, but no. Deletionpedia steps in to store all the unwanted pages.

Unlike Wikipedia, it isn’t editable (I mean really, what would be the point?).

So if you’re looking for a page you know was on Wikipedia last time you looked, chances are it will be available on Deletionpedia.

I might not be old enough to remember The Goon Show being broadcast live, but I do wake up early enough (5:30am) to hear it every Friday morning. ABC Radio National has an amazing selection of classic comedy in that time-slot from the late 60s.

I’m currently in love with Just a Minute. The object of the game is for panellists to talk “for just a minute” on a given subject, “without repetition, hesitation or deviation”. Sounds dull right? Wrong. It contains some of the wittiest improv comedy I’ve heard in… well forever.

It’s time to get serious with regards to updating this blog. So I’m going to start posting quite a bit from now on. It may only be one or two posts a week to start with but that will change over time as I get back into the swing of things.

To kick things off.

I’m addicted to Google Reader! It’s a web-based RSS feed aregator that has some features you won’t find anywhere else. The best of which is the ability to share posts with friends via email or with anyone with a Gmail account in your Google address book. Take a look at the GReader articles I’m sharing. I’m only subscribed to 14 feeds at the moment but it is already consuming a vast quantity of my day. Not that I’m complaining mind you

Most writing software is only used once the hard yards, the research, the brainstorming and sleepless nights organising index cards are over. If all you need is a glorified typewriter, MS Word is fine. But if you’re like me, and you need a way to organise the random ideas in your head before you can get them onto the page, then you should try Scrivener for Mac or yWriter for PC. These are programs written for writers by writers.
