I searched myself on TLGS[1] (to know whether I need to click the " Missing your capsule? Add it to TLGS " button) and found my very old posts at Midnight pub.
I more or less stand by everything I said[2], and will re-host it here.
Midnight pub[3] was pretty good because people talked to me on there.
I changed my mind on the whole "internet bad" thing, by the way. I have read The Gutenberg Parenthesis[4]. I have been convinced. Age of print was also bad, and good. Internet age is (going to be) bad, and good. Linear text bound in books isn't eveything; let's not be snobbish about oral formats and casual forms of writing. Mostly print represents a culture of centralized authority and expertise, with everything bad and good about that. The internet age is an opportunity to get away from some of that, but, unfortunately, also an opportunity for fascists to overthrow everything and set themselves up.

It is a warm spring day, I will run 12km before I do my "homework".
