    Trying to do some semi-academic writing. Frustrated by how slowly I write. However, the best way to get something done faster is to practice more of it (sex being the one exception to the rule).

    'As of October 2015, #Jamendo no longer advertises its music as #CreativeCommons but rather "free streaming / free download" for personal use.' Anybody know a good contemporary free-as-in-freedom music source? #lazyweb

    In the garden listening to podcasts. Applied some insect repellent and bugs immediately began settling on me like I was a Disney princess.

    Seriously, neoclassical economics is so wedded to the notions of utility and disutility that inutility is the perfect foundation for an alternative philosophy. I would vow to immediately adopt the pursuit of inutility as my life's work, but I suspect I've already been on that track for some time.

    They've definitely overcome the academic appointments problem I've been suffering. I don't know why the idea of casting such a wide net never occurred to me.

    Waiting for the local dentist at #Toormina to reopen for 2018, as there's thousands of $ worth of work overdue on my crumbling gnashers. I have cavities I could let out as parking space. Thanks #Coffs Harbour, for not fluoridating the water, thus protecting us from cancer, crop failure, left-handedness, and demonic possession.

    @kat I read somewhere that, at one point in his extensive twilight years, John Mortimer boasted on a #US chat show that he started every day with a glass of champagne. An appalled starlet in the next chair reached over to touch his knee and ask in hushed tones "Have you sought help?"

    Albert Finney! @tregeagle That's who was seriously miscast as Kilgore Trout in the Breakfast of Champions film. Otherwise I thought it was a good attempt at an impossible task. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakfast_of_Champions_(film) #Vonnegut

    My life in four programs: On my work computer, #GNOME shell lists my frequently used applications as just Firefox, GNOME Terminal, gedit, and Nautilus. Yep, that about covers it.

    "post-war Keynesians like Kaldor assumed that Say’s Law was now guaranteed by Keynesian full employment policy." #q Robert Skidelsky Wow. Mind blown. Yes, I concede once (genuine) full employment is reached, supply-side concerns over (dis-)incentives, skills shortages/mismatches, etc. _can_ be relevant. Until then, though, you're just twiddling the thermostat in the expectation that doing so will create the conditions that will spontaneously generate a roof for your house. http://www.skidelskyr.com/site/article/stylised-facts

    Had #Xmas eve lunch with #DLW & her Auntie Cheryl, which gave me a desperately-needed excuse to DJ. DLW knew the words, and sang along, to Teenage Kicks, and Chez casually said "oh that's the one with the armadillo" when https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJ9r8LMU9bQ came on. I don't know these people at all.

    The odd thing is that "extended hours" in anticipation of misinterpreted-ancient-jewish-fundamentalist-hooray-day does actually get people waiting to get in the shop at 6am. Why? Instead of going to bed early last night, you could have just come in then.
