I think we both can and should take Luke to task, nay court, for finding Jonah and his Whale on the net. It’s people like Luke who destroy the net for the decent people, the moral majority. Like me and Mary Whitehouse.

I work with this man. Need I say more?

Do not delay. This is serious. Go and read Lance’s Last Life Serial immediately. And then contact him and tell him what a brave piece of writing that was, how important it was and how it may actually change the lives of a lot of people. Then, everyone, work with me to calm him down. This is a good, creative man. It’s a terrible shame that he has decided not to give us any more insight into his life…

Certain mispellings
Catologue for example
needed to be fixed

I refer the honourable gentleman to the answer I gave some moments ago: ok?

Excerpts from ‘My Big Gay Life’ (7) In what is fast becoming a pattern, you bounce cheerfully into town at the beck and call of Big only to find him esconced with a couple of old friends of his. After a couple of hours, he ups and leaves you in a bar with them. They are perfectly pleasant people. But it’s not really the point.

He’s a serious Mister
Shake his hand and he’ll
twist your arm
With monopoly money
we’ll be buying the funny farm

So I’ll do flips,
and get paid in chips
from a diamond as big as the Ritz –
Then I’m calling it quits. [Source]

At work at the moment I am using some version control software called Visual SourceSafe Explorer. I’ve never used this software before, but one of the coolest things about it is that when you ‘check in’ a file you’ve been working on, you are asked to put in a comment about what it actually is that you’ve done. Endless files fiddled around with equals endless comments to be inserted. And each one makes you want to be a little more imaginative. Which brings me to this:

Version Control Haiku:

costs.html
there was a link to it here
but now it has gone

The emphasis tags
Should not be on the menu
So I removed them.

The Validator
Found the problems to be few
But I fixed them all.

The text is corrected
But nasty errors remain
in the depths of code

I changed some copy
Making one full paragraph
Into two small ones

Adjusted bullets
That aligned incorrectly
They now work ok.

Inserted comma
That is all I accomplished
This is now my life
