The Grand Porpoise

So here we go…. First, by way of explanation - wickedlush will grow (initially, at least) with the purpose of disseminating information, in addition to providing entertainment, social comment and mental stimulation.
I have spent many many hours, utilizing the services of my good friend Mr Google, in order to solve conundrums (conundra?) of the highest order, and each time, I think “hmmm… I really must write up my own experiences on the web, so that others following the same path will have more information at their fingertips…” Typically, this happens after I’ve spent several days trying to solve a seemingly-impossible computing task, and have found the hint of an answer buried deep in a discussion list thread from 1997. This moment of enlightenment invariably follows many false starts, where google searches turn up someone with my exact problem, but clicking on the link reveals a lonely email with the accompanying text: “This is the only message in the current thread”. A silent scream for help, echoing through time….
So, dear reader, my intent is to blog many and varied subjects, from computers to art, from ashtanga to gardening, from software development to photography, and from eastern philosophy to blatant consumerism. That way, next time someone searches for an answer to their question, the odds of them finding an answer will be marginally improved and, with any luck, we will also have some fun along the way
This is *NOT* the only message in the current thread…
