Sun, 03:57: RT @ckindel: I am convinced the only reason people are still using Emacs is nobody can remember how to exit out of it.

Sun, 05:06: I'm probably biased against the Wilis as I find her time travel novels poor depictions of both Oxford and London, written by map
Sun, 05:08: But still, the Jubilee and Victoria Lines running in WWII London? Three hours to walk from Euston to Oxford Street? WTF?
