I have a hypothesis that the request "tell us a bit about yourself" is the quickest way to uninstall coherent thought. General leftie, maybe? If we've met in person, it's probably through AICSA, SCA or the general Monash Uni 80s/90s nerd clubs.

Is there anybody here who does cryptics, who can explain to me why "After solver almost got stuck in corner" is BEYOND?

Only think I can think of is that bond is stuck, and ey is almost eye which sounds like I, who is the solver of the puzzle - but this seems tenuous?

I could probably eventually work out how to do stuff like this, but it's hard when you have no idea of what sort of things are possible.

Nice idea! My list is in a google sheet, because I had some idea of analysing data maybe? But I'm not actually doing that, and yours is both useful and aesthetically pleasing.

Botheration. Just remembered I was keeping track of the books I read.
What have I read since the 7th of October?

Hello. It feels like my first post here should be significant and/or amusing, but I'm not having a significant or amusing sort of day.
