Surely it’s not too soon to satirize the half-arsed bombing attempt in the UK? Of course not! Thanks to Richard for the pointer.

Stupid email disclaimers: don’t use them!
22 August 2008 in Internet, Marketing
Over on the Link mailing list, there’s been a brief discussion on those legal disclaimers people put into email signatures. Brief summary: they’re stupid.
These disclaimers have never been tested in a courtroom, and in some circumstances they could even reduce your legal protection. However, I reckon the key issue for a business is “branding”.
Do you [...] -

Book cover marketing FAIL?
15 August 2008 in Marketing
I saw these books sitting in a shop window the other day and the first thing I did was laugh. Why? Well, seeing the four lined up like this seemed like a list of clichés.

Hi Stilgherrian,
I came to your blog via The Other Andrew — I remember you when you had two names, but not the ones you were given at birth.
I deal with the term ’space’ with appropriate respect by adopting a lisp. It comes up in art history quite a lot — especially the concept of ‘gendered thpathe’.

@Quatrefoil: By those two names you must surely mean my SCA persona, since the mundane world has only ever known “Stilgherrian” and the name I was christened. Well met! I haven’t done anything SCAish for years.
I think your comment belonged to another post, but I see the usability problem which caused that glitch. I do like the lisp approach, thanks!

Yes, and yes. I’m planning on holding a meeting of SCAdians anonymous to catch up with other people who used to play SCA and would like to keep in touch in a non-SCA context. I figure we can sit round and say ‘My name is x, I am a recovering SCAdian, it’s been five years since my last event …’.
