Nothing's off topic here, most people have varied interests and have
surprisingly deep knowledge of a broad swath of things. So keep it on list,
please.

Also thread drift is inevitable.

Welcome by the way,

[Dave Long]

Nothing's off topic here,


although the ratio of posts about Jayamalini or (the not-so- 
eponymous?) Silk Smitha to posts about hotter subjects, such as  
negative temperatures, might suggest some things are more topical  
than others.

Welcome! There are several cryptic crossword groups in India (the de facto

Look for "1 Across" and "IXL Players" on Facebook.

[silk] intro

[maia sauren]

hello all. i've been lurking for a few months. still not entirely sure what
this list is for, or about, but it seems lively and interesting, and
contains interesting people.

i've recently relocated to hyderbad from melbourne, here for a year (or
more - that decision is to be made later).

i do, among other things:
- things that are science, though the official parts of that are mostly in
my past life - used to be a biomedical engineering researcher
- things that are open, particularly around the intersection of software &
science, and lately, software and healthcare, mostly in and around my dayjob
- food, at all stages of its formation and disformation
- cryptic crosswords, hoping to graduate to languages other than english
- queer, feminist, non-cis-het life and activism
- knitting
- community building
- reading and writing all kinds of stuff.

nice to make your acquaintance.

cheers

What is the day job, if I might ask? There's a number of folks here
who might intersect with some portion of the above (including, in a
few past lives, myself - I helped found the first Linux User Group in
India, among other things.)

You've got it in one! This is a list that Udhay (Vod ka Raja) has
gathered, of Interesting People. My Gmail list also says it is about
Intelligent Conversation, but I am not altogether sure of that, when I
belong to it!

But...welcome. Charles Haynes. I yuck-splained what our silken fetters
are about. I defy anyone to contradict it!
