Since it looks like upgrading my "cheese grater" MacPro is going to be a couple of years down the road, I did my best to optimize my old (2012) 6 core buddy. Maxed out the Ram to 48Gigs Only one spinning disk left Sammy Evo Pro 240G system drive, Evo Pro 500G audio drive (recording/mixing/mastering), Evo 850 2T Sample Library, 2T Toshiba HDD main storage PCI usb3 card (been in there for a while) x4 usb3 EV3A sc GTX1070 Nvidia graphics card for 4-5k multi monitor, VR ready And I picked up the latest 12.7 iPad Pro and a pencil to use as a touch monitor (so far with Duet, Lemur, Pro Tools/Eucon and manipulating with the pencil, it's awesome!)

This is a real oddball in the James Bond canon. The story is told from a woman's point of view... the plot of the book is completely unrelated to the movie screenplay with the same name.

and then

We are up in Daytona so we will make a final decision on what to do on Friday. However, based on what happened during Matthew and the direction the tracks are moving we are likely to stay. Have over 50 gallons of water, a shitload of canned and dry foods, three propane tanks and much alcohol. HC party time.

"New" Neil Young? Sure, why not.

I like this álbum... Lauryn has a nice voice.

I thought it sounded like early Genesis, complete with Peter Gabriel dressed up in an outrageous costume Or even better, early Pink Floyd, who invented a whole lexicon of nonsense:

What gave it away, "Knight of the Thimble", or the rather too literate, "Fatuous Pauper"? The right column sounds like Ian Anderson's lyrics, for some reason. Like Minstrel in the Gallery or somesuch. A comment I got on Facebook: "Sounds like the lineup of the greatest festival ever" Unrelated:

I gather it was an unsuccessful experiment... James Bond doesn't show up for a long time and the action was perfunctory. Fleming wasn't a particularly nuanced writer – nobody thought he was a literary genius at the time, but his books were huge bestsellers nonetheless. The writing style seems antique at this point and I think it was already old-fashioned in his day, but my most recent epiphany about Fleming's James Bond books is that many of them were written like romance novels for men. It seems strange in retrospect that it took me so long to figure this out, but that is probably because the films put so much emphasis on action and special effects while the novels get inside James Bond's head. There are lots of funny/eccentric things in the Bond novels like Bond admitting how much he enjoys breakfast or arguing about why he preferred to carry a "lady's gun" (according to Major Boothroyd, aka Q).

The best post by Birgir thus far!

Yeah, that was the weird one. Put me off from reading any more James Bond, although it was a bit of a delayed reaction -- I think I still read the entire ouevre up until that point. Kind of brilliant premise in hindsight, but I don't think I'll revisit it. Ian Fleming was a twisted fuck. Me: just finished The Genome by Sergei Lukyanenkov -- fucking brilliant take on love of different varieties, sex, violence, space flight, virtual reality, and a murder mystery (complete with a clone with Sherlock Holmes spliced on to him). A little dry in the delivery, but I blame it being translated from the Russian. If you can get past the dry delivery and you enjoy science fiction, it's highly recommended. It's the first book I've read by him that's outside of the Watch series. The last time I looked, none of his other books had been translated. Now there's two. I look forward to more. Now reading the next space war book from M.R. Forbes, and then on to the new Seanan McGuire.

I so wish that was true - I'd want to be a Beef Twister or Turnip Shepherd! But is is spoof, alas. Appendix 5 of this tome http://privatewww.essex.ac.uk/~matthew/Papers/Woollard_1881Classifications_no illustration.pdf has the 1881 UK census classifications. It is all very dry and oh so sensible. Unfortunately.
