    Eclipse 2024

    Best of luck to everyone chasing the solar eclipse tomorrow. I hope the weather behaves. If you are close to the line of totality, it is definitely worth making the effort to get there. I blogged about how awesome it was back in 2017 (see: Pre-Eclipse Post, Post-Eclipse

    End of the Universe

    I am working to finish Infinite Imponability Drive as soon as I can. Unfortunately the last two weeks have been so crazy that it’s been hard to set aside more than a few hours to do any writing…

    Imponable Update

    Work on Infinite Imponability Drive continues. I aim to get another chapter up by next weekend. Thank you to everyone who left comments. Sorry I have not been very responsive. I got sidetracked for the last two weeks preparing a talk for the ATOM society on Particle Detectors for the LHC and Beyond, which took rather more of my time than I

    Imponable Interlude

    Everything is beautiful now that we have our first rainbow of the season.

    What is life? Is it nothing more than the endless search for a cutie mark? And what is a cutie mark but a constant reminder that we're all only one bugbear attack away from oblivion?

    Quantum Decoherence

    Happy end-of-2023 everyone.

    I just posted a new story.

    This is one of the craziest things that I have ever tried to write and is a consequence of me having rather more unstructured free time than usual for the last week.

Index of Blog Posts (and Stories) · 7:59pm Sep 2nd, 2015

Blog post No. 100 seems a good point to look back at everything I've written on this site over the last three years, and compile a proper index. Following my style of not respecting any division between fiction and non-fiction, and of writing blog posts which everyone says should be stories, and stories which should be blog posts, I have mixed it all up here, but then ordered it by the Dewey decimal system, in a manner which I hope Twilight would approve of (although she might quibble the classification of a few items). It's much more fun than the usual tags.

I also boosted the font size of the links to my more popular posts (by an amount related to their view count) to draw attention to what are potentially the more interesting to read.

So here you are. Everything you never wanted to read about ponies and...

I was surprised at first by your choice of sorting systems, but I really can't think of anything more suitable. i'm sure this index will come in handy in the future.

Indexing your blog posts? Definitely living up to your avatar :twilightsmile:

Well, I've got my reading for the next couple of days right here.

Quite useful, don't think I've seen all of this..

then ordered it by the Dewey decimal system

For the first time in years, my days spent as a librarian are finally relevant again.

Well, I now have lots of stuff to read and still no time but oh well. Thanks!

The Dewey decimal system has nothing on this
