  6. I'm reading A Blink Of The Screen and I'm as pre-misty-eyed as ever when I read Pratchett and there's an unexpected and unusual and somehow mysterious Ian Curtis namecheck and it hits me like a gigaton of bricks.

    For context: many years ago I stupidly decided to watch Control, and I was bawling like a baby the whole time, after years without thinking about IC even once.

  8. Hard to believe it's been 10 years already. I'm re-reading Night Watch at the moment.

    I remember adding the setting to add the "X-Clacks-Overhead: GNU Terry Pratchett" header to outgoing mail on a couple of mail systems at the time. Probably been removed by now, I don't do much email admin any more.

    Still got it on my two general web sites though.

  9. My birthday is in November, which means it was a few weeks after the annual publication of the latest #Pratchett book. So that was my sister's present for me each year.

  10. Terry Pratchett. Forever one of the good ones. Always rereadable: for the jokes, the satire, the heartbreak, the wisdom, for Discworld, and for the burning righteous anger at exploitation and discrimination.

  11. The Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness. Nobody has ever said it better.
