Miscellaneous frivolity

Intentional
- Some Inuit vocabulary
- The motto of religion writers
- Why I love the Church Times.
- How I became an authority
- Some Open Office stuff is here
- The Churches announce the end of the world
- The Rock Carving doesn't belong here,
  but it's lovely and I want to have some link to it somewhere.
Unintentional
- How to be a creationist:
  a lecture on the teaching of science in Gateshead, pulled from the Christian Institute's web site after it featured in the national press. This is a mirror of Google's cached copy but I read the original when it was up: I can, as they say, testify to its authenticity. Note that these swivel-eyed fanatics claim to want debate but won't leave their real beliefs exposed to the public.
- A letter from the Messiah
  
  Letters back to the messiah, from an Archbishop and a Cabinet minister
  -- Someone else sent me a photograph of Jesus in the marketplace in Mombasa, but I lost it.
- The Government has your GENITALS in a database
- Professor Daniel Dennett has me sussed

This week's front page graphic and colour scheme come from the tiny rivulet that becomes the river Sava, before it flows into Lake Bohinj, in Slovenia, photographed in late December. There'll be somethign more springlike when I have caught a few trout. Conde Nast Traveller paid for that trip. The rollover (portrait of the artist as a decaffeinated suicide bomber) was done by my daughter Rosamond.

The silly pictures sprinkled about the place came, I think, from Jef Poskanzer's site in about 1998. I wrote almost all the 500,000 words on this site, and their copyright is mine. The HTML was done with Homesite and Ultraedit; the CSS stuff with the truly wonderful TopStyle, and the scripts for housekeeping and to convert Word documents in bulk to templated HTML were all done in Python. Some of the earlier conversions were done using Coalan MacNamara's Linux library, Wordview.
