Guess i should be more circumspect in my use of such parochial cultural refs (not to mention a registered trademark <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silly_Putty> -sorry, Crayola!) but again: the feeling of working with TiddlyWiki is a lot like Silly Putty™, in that you can stretch it and shape it into just about anything you can imagine. Problem is: how does one ever manage to establish boundaries in such a medium? Am practically paralysed by the possibilities, ATM. Gotta unplug and get some fresh air! /w
