“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

Friday T&A: Snakebit Edition

Friday T&A: Snakebit Edition

I probably really should just consider renaming this segment into “Weekend T&A”, given how often I miss the Friday deadline. This time, I kind of sort of have a decent excuse – well, depending on your point of view. You see, as I have noted...
Friday T&A: Deficit Spending Edition

Friday T&A: Deficit Spending Edition

As y’all may have surmised by now, we are rather far behind in terms of this most beloved segment of the site. This is due to a number of factors – work, travel, sickness (yes, still), and of course, sheer laziness on the part of Ye Olde Didacte, who is in...
Friday T&A: Camp Crystal Lake Edition

Friday T&A: Camp Crystal Lake Edition

We are back in business, lads, and long overdue, too. Indeed, I think we are a solid 4 weeks behind our regularly scheduled programming for this most popular and beloved segment of the site, so there is plainly quite a bit of catching up to do. This is what happens...
Friday T&A: Twofer Edition

Friday T&A: Twofer Edition

No messing about today, lads – I missed the weekly poast last Friday, because reasons (mostly legitimate and to do with a crushing workload), so you get a double-scoop today. I will eventually have some deep thoughts – as opposed to deep thots – to...
Friday T&A: Moving Day Edition

Friday T&A: Moving Day Edition

It has been a quite mad few days, which put a serious spanner in my ability to do anything much other than go to meetings, eat, sleep, and do my actual day job during very odd hours. A big part of that involves the stress and uncertainty of getting everything squared...
Friday T&A: Codecog Edition

Friday T&A: Codecog Edition

Yes, I know, it is not actually Friday. The past week was (of course) stupidly busy, and while I realise that is a rather worn excuse, the fact is, when you are up until past midnight trying to get an SQL script to run, because you have a severe and incurable case of...
Friday T&A: Los Santos Edition

Friday T&A: Los Santos Edition

Another week down, and what a busy one it was, eh? The assassination attempt on the Trumpasaur has been the dominant feature in all the headlines, and deservedly so. The more that we know about the shooting, the more that we realise it cannot possibly have been an...
Friday T&A: Strategery Edition

Friday T&A: Strategery Edition

Another week spent beavering away at work, with nary a chance to do anything other than eat, sleep, and go to the gym. Oh well. I thought it would be a relatively quiet summer – hooooo boy, was I ever wrong. It certainly has not been quiet on the political...
Friday T&A: Treason Day Edition

Friday T&A: Treason Day Edition

As you all know, this past week saw the 248th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence – or, as Amerikhastan’s former colonial masters like to call it, “Treason Day”. I was rather too busy to do anything about it, so here we are,...
Friday T&A: Bolognese Edition

Friday T&A: Bolognese Edition

Things have been extremely busy this week, as I have pretended to be on vacation. I was also rather lazy yesterday, not to mention tired, after a couple of hours of hard skiing, so this one is again late. Nonetheless, I am slowly catching up on writing and poasting. I...
