Help me run my life!

[nmg]

I was planning to stir myself into action for the purposes of deGAFIAtion (or whatever the correct term is) and go up to London for this evening's BSFA meeting. I had, however, bargained without the whims of fate and one of my colleague's inaugural lecture (whose date I had temporarily forgotten).

This is my choice: 1) I stay for the lecture, catch the 1923 train and get to the Rising Sun sometime after 2100, or 2) bunk off work at usual time, get to the Rising Sun at about 1900 and spend the rest of the evening feeling wretched and guilty.

Bah. Suggestions? Who am I likely to miss as guest?

Wha? How did you get here?

Small world moment.

excuse me, I'll just go away now...

Nick, you are officially the patron saint of the small world. Though I'm told fire kitten is worse.

I think that flickgc may have got here via zotz.

For my part, having lived in Cambridge (and known CUSFS people), lived in Edinburgh (and known EUSF&FS people), knowing a diverse assortment of goths and geeks, and having had some past existence within fandom (even if it was a while ago, and as a dirty goddamn filker) seems to have worked wonders for my connectivity.

Actually, although it almost could have been, I think it was a Southampton / totl thing...

Ah. Could also be that (didn't your website used to look suspiciously like the 1998-era totl frontpage?)

To be honest, the boundaries have started to blur as various disparate groups have merged. My acquaintance graph is much bushier than it was only a couple of years ago, thanks to people like zotz moving to Cambridge, if only temporarily.

[g] Still does, other than the fact that it's down until I get around to uploading it to new server...

Really should do something about redesigning it, but I can't honestly think of a layout I prefer...

It seems as if everybody is on Nick's friends list. I have a suspicion that he is in fact a multidimensional gestalt being who runs the universe in his spare time ;o)

Actually, you're all little 1/4" squares of cardboard that I've been pushing around the board of an immensely complicated 1970s Avalon Hill wargame for the last year and a half. There was a minor hiatus last month when the cat jumped up and knocked some of the counters, but I don't think that anyone noticed, and I hope to finish the game in early 2005.

This suprises me not at all ;o)

I suspect if that were the case his physical appearance would be more with the ten feet tall and fire-breathingness.
