The Incredibles . .

. . is totally swell. I shall have to see it again.

Fannish notes: In one brief shot we see what looks like the personal fliers of L Neil Smith’s Pallas. Two bystanders could be Lee & Kirby, or not.

caught up

In three weeks I have gone through all fourteen hundred odd entries to this here work in progress, deleted a few, cleaned up the rest, corrected some broken links, given each entry a title (the hardest part), and classified them. I’ve tracked down (I hope) all the webpages that link to the old blog, found the entries cited and inserted the relevant <a name> tags, so that redirection works as well as reasonably possible.

What sort of busy-work shall I find next?

In other news, the comment-spammers have found me; I’ve deleted about a hundred advertisements for poker websites and the like. Wacky detail: the sites in question are often shut down before I know they exist.
