Ugh, I like DW better as a concept, but I feel completely out of sorts without my custom skin. Out of my skin? Anyway.

Three random items to note.

First, I'd like to think that all my longwinded articles helped convince Google it couldn't simply downgrade the article publishing site I use, as it did nearly all the others: "Fooey, there is spam here, but also content, so we can't just drop the whole site off a cliff."

Two, in my diligent studies of the strange and rare monsters known as search engine bots, I have discovered that most have prosaic names like Googlebot and Bingbot and Wombot. However, Yahoo's is known as Yahoo Slurp. I'm not sure how I feel about having Yahoo slurping my websites. I hope it likes the pr0n section of the Aulu shrine.

Three -- what was three? Oh, right, pluggage. I have mostly been working on articles far away from fandom, as I feel conflicted about writing within fandom. But anyway. Here are three articles that FF fans may find of interest:

Wow, the stuff on Spiran writing is fascinating. Where did my last half hour just go? *laughs*

Much enjoyed the Oedipus Complex one.

Taking the FFXII part to its mythical extreme, it would be interesting to see a fic that involves some sort of Venat-Balthier connection after Dr. Cid is gone. (although, on second thought, Dr. Cid does treat Vayne as a replacement son after Ffamran runs away and, in the end, Vayne does has a massive merging with Venat, thus the Oedipus moment does occur in all of its metallic winged glory.)
