Little Fugue

Cognitive Effluvia

The end is near.

I've decided to allow littlefugue.us to expire on December 9th. But I've rented some spiffy new space for blogging and other experiments. I expect to resume my semi-annual posting over at my new space: newcerulean.com, just as soon as I figure out what blogging package I want to use. (Probably WordPress). I'll try to set up an archive of littlefugue over there, in case any of my (three? maybe four?) readers want to reminisce over anything I've posted here in the past three years.

Anyway, it's been fun sharing the occasional slop that overflows my mind, and I expect more fun to come in the new space. Who knows? I may even post more than three or four times a year. Heck, I might start jabbering on about what I had for dinner last night, just like all the real bloggers do.

Automated Posting!

Maybe this is the solution for sparse posters. MeFi has a markov-chain post-smasher that spews a random comment composed of phrases previously emitted on MeFi by a given user. Like one of mine:

I like to give out cans of Coke. It makes a person fearful of being left behind, though, so she clung to the big black helicopter parked on your hands.

All that's needed to unglue this flotsam that comprises the current rise in plasma concentration and is considered a delicacy. So I don't believe they thought "let's see if we had financial incentives backed by some sort of multiple-choice quiz on the biological substrate for solving the essential complexity of problems. Advancement beyond that will require that more of a jury is too great.
