The Dice Man

March 2nd, 2006 · Posted by Skuds in Technology · 2 Comments · Technology

Here is a paragraph from The Dice Man by Luke Rhinehart which stood out when I read it. It is actually about the how the author was writing his book, but it seems to me it could apply to 90% of blog posts out there. (And 95% of blog posts here.)

Of course, continuity is sometimes tenuous, content thin. Digressions proliferate like weapons in a peace-loving country. I may have to rewrite the thing seven or eight times. But words are written. To a writer this is fulfillment. Creativity or crap, it counts.

I’m tempted to steal the last sentence as a motto for this very site.

  • I intend only to delete/reject comments which are offensive, racist, homophobic, sexist or similar or if they are in any way illegal/libellous.
  • If you think a comment meets those criteria and I might have missed it, let me know.
  • Although technically I am able to edit comments I will not do so unless it is to remove embedded code which is causing problems.
  • If it is ever necessary to edit a comment it will be made clear that it has been edited.
  • Certain words in comments will cause the whole comment to be automatically consigned to the dustbin (Aavaisha, hmmegatest, cognitive, phentermine, xanax, pharmacy, viagra, vicodin, casino, ultram, tamiflu, valium, tramadol, levitra, carisoprodol) for obvious reasons.
