Reading the DomeKano manga, I keep running into stuff where it’s like, I don’t remember them happening in the anime but they must have, but at the same time I would have thought I would have remembered them. Maybe the constant bombshells produced twist fatigue.

Responses to my essay ‘Tech’s Masturbatory Historiography’ make me think that most people reading it don’t know what ‘historiography’ means. (It’s exactly what it sounds like…)
This is math-heavy but the idea that ‘keys are meta-taxonomic dimensions’ reminds me of ZigZag & other elements make me think of parallel prolog-likes like mycroft – should re-read carefully later: http://www.vpri.org/pdf/m2009002_qod.pdf

@sdk@codevoid.de as for the 140 character limit. I swear I read somewhere that the limit was really more of a suggestion than anything else. I don’t think any of the clients I’ve looked out enforce it. As long as it’s on a single line, no one seems to care too much.
