Cyberpunk, Spirituality and Technology - The Voidspace Blogspot
The strange and deluded ramblings of a rather odd person.
Please Fasten Your Seatbelts
And Loosen Your Clothing
These pages are all my own work. Unfortunately that may be a terrible admission. In these pages are various writings of mine, from the first part of my life story, to poems, to mad ramblings without excuse. Below the links to the articles is my blog. Not to be confused with the Techie Blog, this is random ramblings from life.
Rambling Rumination
Diving or Drowning Part I. The first part of my Autohagiography... up to the point where I first take ecstacy. The tale of how a polite, well mannered middle-class child became such a ruffian.....
Diving or Drowning Part II. The second part of my life story - the further fall....
Life in Romania. An article about living in Romania. This follows two visits in 2004 and 2005 to visit my wifes parents. Life is very different in Romania than it is here in Britain.
A Random Assortment. A short collection of my poetry. There's one or two gems buried in here.
HumanOS v1.3. Subtitled baby crocodiles, computers and the human personality. This is an article that compares the human mind to a computer operating system. It touches on artifical intelligence and the ages old Nature versus Nurture debate.
Christian Meditation. A short piece on Christian meditation - exploring living Spirituality with God.
Imagine Paradise. No its not about a large network of computers, its actually about Christian Community..... and why we bother.
The first is an article on the spiritual power of symbols and sacraments. The second one, is on what sort of truth we can expect to find in the bible - with a brief section providing one possible reconciliation between modern science and Genesis. They should both be understandable by 'beginners' to the subjects.
Quick 'n' Dirty HTML. Need to get a webpage up quick and never done any HTML before ? This article will get you up to speed with the basics, using a TABLE for layout. Not for those who want nice, standards compliant, XHTML and CSS...
Voidspace Story. My cyberpunk short story. Lovely imagery but very short *sigh*. Come and play in the Void !
Beginners Guide to Atlantis. My beginners guide for new players of Atlantis - the computer 'Play-by-eMail' game. Very useful if you`ve just started to play.
Paradigm Drift
 Voidspace continues the gradual drift towards the new style  .
There are 4 new articles online :
- Mindfulness of Breathing - a meditation on concentration.
- Duck Typing in Python - a discussion of typing and a rant on duck typing.
- Data Persistence with ConfigObj - a discussion on using ConfigObj for data persistence.
- Spam Trap - a new (?) approach to tackling junk email...
Far more importantly - the new galleries are online  . Go immediately to :
The Voidspace Galleries
Due to all these changes the sitemap is getting a bit out of date. The next change will need to wait for the rest2web plugin system - which will autogenerate the sitemap. Hopefully this will be soon....
In other website related news - I've moved Voidspace over to a virtual dedicated server - which means I'm completely responsible for setting up and maintaining the server . This was actually one of easiest server moves I've had - surprisingly smooth.
Unfortunately it does mean that search isn't working yet (I'm switching to a new one called Namazu anyway) and the page counters are doing funny things.
The Old Blog Archives
There was so much ancient wisdom distilled into my old blog, that I couldn't let it just creep ignominiously into the pages of cyber-history. More to the point I'm still getting some hits from google with the old entries. Here are the archives of my previous Blogger based blog.
