So my predictions where true and I didn't even place in the DA Flash Preloader Contest. In the faces of all those who accused me of pessimism! :nana: :doh: As I said it's a matter of taste and considering that none of my favourites placed either and that the top 3 all had a similar style I think that's born out. (tries to sound considered and not at all bitter. :D) An honest congratulations to the winners.

Did you know that I invented: ---88--- not the signs you see on cutoutable paper stuff of course but the emoticonal use of these characters to mean something has been truncated? I'm seeing it more and more around the web and that makes me happy. Now someone is bound to challenge my assertion of invention but it's true. If anyone else can lay claim to this sequence of characters then this presents a case of covergent-practico-useless-internet-tat-evolution... which is geeko-frankly fascinating!

Do memories get corrupted with continual reuse? I think that if you remember something over and over without topping that memory up the memory degrades. It's as though your mind keeps filling in the gaps and inaccuracies get stored, the incorrect neural pathways get reinforced and you start to remember your incorrect remembering rather than the truth. There are people from my past who I was good friends with, who I think of often but whose faces I can't even recall, whereas If I think of someone from the same time who I only met once or twice I can see them clearly.
