Lately I haven't been around a whole lot for various reasons, so it may take me a while to respond to messages and such. I am effectively fled-by-apathy, though I occasionally log in to check messages.

Unless otherwise marked, everything I've written on this site is under the CC Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 license.

I solemnly covenant that at least 90% of my writeups shall be factual writeups. For this purpose, I will use liveforever's excellent definitions that a factual writeup is "anything serious, verifiable, factual and solid" and that anything that is in the category of "opinion pieces, GTKY WUs, humour, and other unserious stuff" is not.

Currently, I have 192 writups (discounting all Day Logs and Dream Logs), of which the following are (to my mind) non-factual:

• Humor (or an attempt thereof): coffin nail, MD 20/20, UAC
• GTKY: coffin varnish, How to order a Happy Meal without embarrassment, hard water
• Opinion: Ornaments of Gold

Thus (191-7)/191 ≈ 96% of my writeups are factual.
