Earth’s core is under us, Fire’s core over us. Sea’s and Air’s are hidden, inhospitable howling maelstroms only accessible through theory.
The reason you use dead languages for magic is that they don’t move. Spells in living languages spoil within years due to semantic drift.
You’ll need to use specially hardened processors, strong magical fields will often transmute your boards into something semantically close.

If you unknot these thoughts, the tangles will find their way into the twine again. Cheating is impossible. But that makes the knot useful.

Or we can use it to refback. Every time you mention somebody you send a HEAD with your twturl in the referer to her adddress. Any ideas?
\me wonders if there’s something useful we can do with the referer header. We can put our own twturl there like in the user agent field?

Does anybody have a good idea for a default color set? I used the first color that crossed my mind, so the default theme is rather ugly.
You have to set use_color = 1 and display_format = pretty to get colorized output in #txtnix.
