“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.”
I am in an especially antisocial mood this weekend, having spent quite a bit of it on the road, and the rest of it bored out of my gourd at an, admittedly very pretty and scenic, office deep in the countryside. This has been one of those weeks where you kind of have...
We somehow made it through another week without Ornj Boi doing something REALLY stupid and then calling it the greatest thing ever, with very strong results that no one else has ever achieved. So that is something to celebrate, I suppose. The problem is, of course,...
The Black Sea is a part of the world that most people in the West are not terribly familiar with, unless they happen to have spent some time in Bulgaria, Turkey, or the other bits of the eastern Mediterranean. It is, of course, a very historic area, and served as a...
Things are slowly – VERY slowly – returning back to normal around this here patch of rants and tumbleweeds. I went straight from vacation mode to long and grinding hours at work, with virtually zero adjustment time, and that was NOT fun. Fortunately,...

Just a quick one for today, as it has been a very busy and, frankly, somewhat disappointing week in many respects. It looks to be a long, dreary, and difficult summer ahead, what with two wars raging and no end in sight to the stupidity and pigheadedness behind Angry...
Nothing deep or meaningful comes to mind at this particular moment – it has been a long and difficult week, for a number of reasons, so we’ll keep it short and get straight to the closing thot to entertain us as we approach (or are in) the weekend. This...
WordPress released an all-new version earlier this week. Having been away from writing for most of it, I am only now getting to grips with the changes. I have to say, the overall interface looks MUCH better. The higher-contrast colour schemes work better, it seems to...
No deep thoughts today, gentlemen, it has been a very busy week, and I got back less than an hour ago from a skiing session. Yes, in the middle of May. It was indoors, and there were not very many people about – which thankfully meant fewer than usual of the...
