Eagle-eyed readers will note a new tab above this post (and all others if I have done it properly) which list the very best of Evolving Thoughts - the meaty posts that will have long term value (as much as anything I write has value).
If you are new here, or just want to see what absurd things I write, click on it and see. It's organised by themes.
Thanks to PZ Mahappenstance for telling me how to wrangle the code.

I'm on my annual summer hiatus for the month of July so I'll be only publishing my weekly Friday Fun posts as well as re-posting some of the interviews I did a few years ago on the old blog with people from the publishing, library and science worlds. Not that my posting of late has been…
The elder Free-Ride offspring drew this lovely rat in a thought-bubble. The critter who is dreaming of an encounter with this rat is revealed below.
Technical note:
I'm sure some eagle-eyed (owl-eyed?) readers will have noticed that I uploaded this drawing from a digital photograph. For some…
I have a small laptop that I carry to the coffee shop for writing. It is a bit shaky in the hardware department, very small, and has no functioning wireless. The hard drive is encrypted. These attributes together make it the perfect laptop to carry around between, say, the gym, the coffee shop,…
I decided to do a little bit of something useful with Erlang, both to have some code to show, and to get some sense of what it's like writing something beyond a completely trivial example. Because the capabilities of Erlang shine when you get into low-level bit oriented things, I thought that…
Could you get the title of individual posts into the <title> tag and make your comments show up with the extra special dark background?
I shall enquire of Dr Maaz how to do that. Don't know about the special dark background. I'm a light hearted sort of guy...
Oh, man. I got your soul in return for that scrap of code. I don't think you've got anything left to trade for more of my secrets.
I got the better of the deal then...
Are we as consumers allowed to nominate favourite flavours of ET Munchies in the hope that the Chef de Cuisine might be tempted to produce another dish in this style?
My personal favourite is A Darwinian History although I have to admit that the reason in partially egotistical. I find that your ideas on the historical evolution of science and thus the historiography, that is necessary to describe it, are very similar to my own. What I find to be particularly interesting in this similarity is the fact that we approach the subject from completely different directions and with completely different agendas.
Thony, I thought all of us in the Evilutionist Conspiracy had the same agenda. Perhaps you haven't been getting the Talking Points memo?
I aim to write a substantial series of posts on cultural evolution somewhat soon, including historiography, as a draft of an introduction to a book I'm editing on the topic. Stay tuned...
You are not supposed to talk about THAT agenda in public!!!!
