For limiting values of

I was almost a proper mathematician.

Pure, of course (fuck that grubbling around in stochastic shite). I did the graph theory and the algebraic topology. I can tell you how to catch a rubber band around a doughnut manifold, but with symbols and proofs.

So, I have this analytical way of dissecting everything I spend time looking at.

And then being right.

That's annoying.

Middlestone arithmetic

Fairly ok

Atheism and politeness

I have to admit I'm in something of quandary here. I'm a complete, fundamentalist atheist. I brook no religious guff, and have minimal respect for the idea of any authoritarian (responsibility abrogating) deity up on the celestial pole; perched like a glowering crow on the conical point of believer's concentrated hopes (so that's a pole with a cone on it then).

However, I have religious friends, and friends who have fathers as vicars - and they're all really nice.

So, I'm British, and politeness is more important than principle always (and I could give a sound philosophical basis for that, but that may be presumptuous of me).

So I'll wring my hands and hope I haven't upset you too much when I tell you the core of your life, your most cherished belief is, to me, on a par with animism, astrology, and the belief that black cats and ladders can affect your life profoundly.

I don't want to piss you off, you all seem like really nice guys, excepting, of course, the spittle-flecked window-licker fundamentalist creationist idiot fuckheads amongst you.

Trouble fuck to-do list GTD taskpaper

As you all know. Each of you have your own spiky thorns in your metaphoric pants.

Clearly, you need to divest yourselves of the spiky-thorn-pant thing.

How should we do that? I hear you ask. In fact demand.

Here's my to-do list of GTD spiky-thorn-pant issue resolution:

• Download the latest GTD application to your iPhone
• Fiddle with that for about an hour: set some contexts; pinch some overviews; swipe some goals; above all, do that lip-sucking typy touchscreen thing inputting all your to-dos in before you realise it synchs with OmniFracas
• Download OmniFracas
• Marvel at its intuitive interface
• Don't open it for a month; shit, now it's expired
• Zero inbox your inbox
• Read every email in the trash
• Print out the tiny list paper foldy thing to-do list
• Realise you're not a twat
• Screw it up and throw it in the fire (if you wrote anything on it you will get a MOMENTARY sense of closure)
• Send yourself increasingly sweary post-dated emails
• Stack bills behind the biggest ornament you have on your mantelpiece

OR

• Keep on keeping on
• Occasionally apologise for not having done whatever the fuck it was

Oh, and change your pants
