At least, that’s the family of plants Dnì* tells me the vegetation in Er’cana is a part of. Since my botanical knowledge doesn’t really extend much beyond the things in my garden, I just smile and nod.
The machines had reverted themselves to their ‘off’ state, as they seem prone to do after prolonged times of inactivity (I didn’t bake pellets for months) so we had to do the whole exploration thing all over again.
After a brief exploration of … (Read more)
I was so busy exploring the old grounds that I forgot to post my new KI number here. It’s 374362, add me if you want and send me a line.
Indeed, soon after getting my KI and a couple Nexus links in the City, I visited a few of my favourites stamping grounds: Tetsonot, Kirel, Minkata. I spent the whole first day finding my way back to the Kivas and feeling the warm winds under the starry sky.
The next … (Read more)
There’s an interesting post at the DRC forums about what could an informal D’ni script look like.
It is indeed curious that most of the things we saw written were in such a formal, tidy script, even in such places as Riven where calligraphy was surely not the first of priorities. On the other note, D’ni numbers (which derive straight from the letters, or vice versa) has something of the runic script, with the boxes, the simple curve of … (Read more)
So I wait all day at work to be able to go down to the Cavern and then I find out that the Lattice is apparently down for updates. And of course, now that I can’t go down again until Thursday evening, it seems to be back up again. Sigh.… (Read more)
The Cavern is officially open again!
I’ll post my KI number as soon as I have a new one (my KI got wiped clean after that accident on the Orcamian moons – long story). Now, where did I put that hard hat?… (Read more)

Recensioni rapide tra gli ultimi acquisti:
Dan Mangan, “Nice, nice, very nice” – Perché anche i robot hanno bisogno d’amore, e chi riesce a mettere insieme Kurt Vonnegut e gli animaletti disegnati sulla slipcase del suo Cd merita rispetto.
Christopher Tin, “Calling all dawns” – Unico difetto: troppo corto (a parte Rassemblons Nous, che poteva durare mezz’ora di meno; ma mi sa che son solo io che non sopporto il francese).
The Dresden Dolls, “A is for accident”… (Read more)
Diciamocelo, non mi aspettavo che Marino vincesse, ma le previsioni internettiane mi facevano sperare che potesse prendere sufficienti voti da essere una “spina nel fianco” che costringesse il PD a rivedere la sua linea politica. E` anche per quello (o meglio, solo per quello) che ho pagato l’obolo, preso la spilletta e votato alle primarie.
Con le cose così come sono adesso, anche se Bersani è pur sempre meglio che Franceschini, siamo pur sempre a una questione di “meno peggio”. … (Read more)
“The misconception about children’s fiction is that it’s lightweight or fluffy. It’s about really big and important things. It’s adults who like light and fluffy. Everything is big and important to a child, [so] their stories are about big and important events.”
Our last performance before the big shutdown! *sniffle*
Vieni votato da qualcuno che sa che fai parte della coalizione A. Ad un certo punto decidi di votare contro la coalizione A. La cosa logica da fare sarebbe dimettersi e lasciare il posto a qualcuno favorevole a quella coalizione, no? Dopotutto non sei stato eletto tu per quello che pensi tu: sei un rappresentante del popolo. Se non la pensi più come i tuoi elettori, lasci libera la baracca e dai il tuo posto a qualcuno che sa svolgere … (Read more)

Since the DRC didn’t believe it was necessary to put up a gallery of all the restored pieces, I figured it would be good to show here the works I restored.
I believe them all to be by the same author or, at least, from the same school. This person or school, whose name I haven’t been able to identify, was evidently experimenting with the use of different materials for their stained glasses; the ‘glass’ in their artworks is in … (Read more)
