Going onwards ...

I put these links here for my benefit, like everything else on the page. It would make me happy if you were to follow them.

I've kind of let these get out of date. Buh. Anyway, I've patched some stuff.

• The Oz Project: experiments in interactive fiction at CMU
• this is neat, and vaguely related to that.
• The fact of the matter is I'm spending a lot of time on interactive fiction-related stuff lately. So let me link to the development system I use for writing Infocom-style games, TADS and a general "here's all sorts of cool stuff about Infocom and modern interactive fiction" page.
• The newsgroups for discussing IF are rec.arts.int-fiction and rec.games.int-fiction. A wacky mud where lots of IF people hang out (including an occasional ex-Infocom person) is ifMUD.
• Online Myers-Briggs personality type indicator: a 4-bit system of personality classification. It may be an entirely new and useful way to look at other people. (FWIW, I'm INTP. If you are INTP, or INTP-ish, you may be interested in the intp mailing list. You can subscribe to it by sending mail to intp-request@jubjub.wizard.com with subject or body "subscribe" (no quotes). Be warned, however, that this is an extremely high-volume mailing list on the order of 200+ messages a day. But it's cool.)
• PGW: mmm .. PG Wodehouse.
• This Modern World is a comic. It's kind of like Doonesbury. It's kind of like Bloom County. It's kind of like Noam Chomsky. I would very much like you to read it. This Modern World is also featured on Salon Magazine's comics page. As on-line magazines go, Salon is pretty good. It sometimes dips into typical baby boomer navel-gazing (or head-up-ass-ness) and some of their columnists haven't learned the difference between "being outrageous" and "writing something of value", but, still, it's pretty good.
• The Onion is a funny thing. I would like you to read this also.
• She is a sensible person.
• TMBG is kind of like a band, and kind of like thinking.
• Nethack is a game. It looks like this: @. I would suggest you play it.
• Jane Austen is/was an author. I liked her after she was popular.
• Terry Pratchett is another author. He is probably the person who has had the most significant impact on my thoughts. Besides me, of course. I would like very much for you to read his books and then think about them.
• People ask me how I am so informed about what's going on the world. I don't tell them, but my secret information all comes from here and here. Much better than CNN.

There should be other links to stuff like Dorothy Sayers and open source software and Aquaria and and ADOM and Unix security issues and stuff, but there aren't. Here, anyway. So look through my other pages instead. Or I guess you could check out my out of date and totally unsorted lynx bookmarks file.
