Nowadays, fraudulent online stock-trading schemes are common. But even before the first electric telegraph, two bankers committed the equivalent of modern-day Internet stock fraud.

Fabulous article from 1999 about how two bankers in 1837 hacked additional data into the fledgling telegraph system to surreptitiously (and illicitly) send messages to give
them an edge at the stock exchange. Their innovative approach is similar to modern steganographic systems that hide information in headers, metadata, or within the encoding of invisible characters.
Over the course of two visits I’ve removed all of the remnants (or what I could find of them) of the previous cache container and replaced it with a new one.
Erika and I did a long weekend in the woods as part of a victory lap/recovery from the Kickstarter. SO GOOD, and SO NEEDED. It's with great thanks that I share this wonderful comic
from Natalie on her non-monogamous life. I hope you all like this slice of autobio and honest comic. Drop her a word of

Oh Joy Sex Toy is a fabulous webcomic anyway, but it was especially pleasing to see some poly-representation in a guest comic on the
site recently. Especially when that guest comic mirrors a broad part of my own experience of polyamory: that it may look exciting, sexy, scandalous or crazy to other people, but – for
the most part – to us it’s pretty everyday, domestic, and mundane.
Pop quiz: In your typical James Bond movie, who is the protagonist?
Seems like a strange, obvious question, right? It’s obviously Bond. He’s the hero. He’s played by the top-billed actor. The franchise is basically named after him. So, clearly, Bond
is the protagonist. Right?
Put a pin in that…

This article mirrors almost-exactly the conversation that Ruth and I had coming out of the cimena after seeing Infinity War the
other week.

A quick and easy find on my way back to the city centre after a lunch date at the Isis Farmhouse to the South. Great container that fits wonderfully in its hiding space! TFTC.

Stemonitis doesn’t seem to have logged in for over three years, and it’s needed maintenance for its super-soggy log for about as
long). I’ve sent a message to them offering to adopt this cache (it’s in a convenient place for me to maintain), but if I don’t get a response I’ll speak to an admin and see if they can

Edit: Stemonitis approves in principle. Just waiting for the adoption to go through.
