Notes in Progress

30May2007

Another one of my rambling jotting type entries I fear. For any of you mad enough to find these interesting, my "Tumblr" thing, Ordinal's Cabinet of Ephemera, contains these in even more abbreviated form, though it is not quite so trivial as my Twitter stream of consciousness, which contain such fascinating details as when I have to take the washing inside because it has started raining.

Sculpted Industrialism

25May2007

In recent days I have been observing many fellow artisans upon the Grid - well, I flatter myself that they are my fellows, I am a child playing with plywood and glue compared to most, but nonetheless - writing and speaking on the subject of Sculpted Prims, the new magical lumps of clay sent to us from the heavens that promise to make our fruitbowls that much more interesting.

Entreaty of Votes for a Conversational Improvement

16May2007

It has long been frustrating to me that, when we are upon the Grid, everything that we hear appears in that damnable green or that damnable white. Surely something better could be arranged, so that one might more easily distinguish between speakers, or simply between speakers that one wishes to hear from and those which one does not, without muting the latter? If you are sympathetic to this, I would appreciate it if you would consider voting for this proposal and perhaps even drumming up a little support for it yourself. Thank you.

Leaves and Twigs

16May2007

I have been spending far too much time twittering and tumbling like some sort of circus chicken recently, and also far too much time engaged in Aethernet-Related Projects; thus it is my determination to concentrate myself on at least the semblance of performing Work On The Grid.

Let us begin with a forthcoming product, the Ordinal Pepperbox.

New Residents and Enthusiasm

13May2007

It is surprisingly hard to get New Residents to actually do anything at all for money, I find. Despite the fact that they frequently ask one how to obtain cash, when one asks as Welcome Areas for paid short-term employees (say, to test weapons on) one meets with, well, nothing at all. Ignored or unnoticed.

(as an addendum: er, actually I did not mean to place that particular entry here, but hey ho, it is here now and still quite true.)

A More Complete Transcript

4May2007

Whilst those of us who were unable to attend the Town Hall Meeting today will no doubt be thankful for the provision of a transcript of questions and answers on the Official Laboratoire Court Circular - and it is, certainly, an informative document - I thought that it might also be appropriate to publish an unedited version including the interventions of attendees, which I was passed just now by Mr Simon Pulford.
