“We read to know that we’re not alone”

January 23rd, 2008

Sorry things have been fairly quiet here of late. I’ve reached a sort of email event horizon where messages that require action or response are arriving faster than I can act or respond to them. After that you go into a kind of tailspin…

The quotation, by the way, is from C.S.Lewis. For your contemplation.

    I listen to Radio 3 for the same reason…

    If it’s an email event horizon then you’ll never get out - forget a ‘tailspin’, observers will be unable to detect any signal from you at all…. so it’s more like 100% packet loss :-)

    I can’t think of a pithy way to say, “We enable comments on our blogs to know we’re not alone”.
