More stuff that isn't here

I'm still tired and grumpy today, so am going to throw a whole bunch of links at you then run away to write.

#~ This is an interesting psychometric test, looking at the connection between art and personality. There are paintings to look at, then a basic personality test to take. I score average for things like 'conscientiousness' and 'extraversion', high for intellectualism and low for emotional stability. Well, I'm not going to argue with it...

#~ This week's A Wonderful Way to Make a Living is about guys who work in special effects, including the SFX supervisor on Doctor Who! Unfortunately, they've now taken down last week's, which was equally fascinating, but this article in The Times is on a similar note - The White Hat Hackers.

#~ bironic! I heard this and thought of you!. I love the BBC radio series Five Numbers. Simon Singh is a brilliant communicator, and manages to make complicated maths sound really simple. The first series was such a success that they made Another Five Numbers, but the one that caught my attention was the episode in A Further Five Numbers on the number 6. Everyone's heard of 6 Degrees of Separation, and many have heard of 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon, but apparently you can do it with mathmaticians too... Each programme is only 15 minutes long and well worth the listen.

#~ If you haven't left a story at bringthehappy, then please do so! Or just go have a read and a smile. There's some lovely stuff there in all sorts of fandoms, including Torchwood, House, NCIS, Psych and more.

#~ Also check out the story that aeron_lanart wrote me for my birthday, Every Girl Deserves A Party. Thanks, hon!

#~ There's now a podbook version of rustydog's reading of my SGA "Five ways..." story. If you haven't downloaded, listened and told her how awesome it is, please do so! Podficcing is hard work, and this is a wonderful reading. The MP3 version is here, and the Podbook one, with a cover courtesy of the fantastic cybel is here.

#~ You've probably all seen this, but I just discovered thingswithwings's wonderful vid The Glass. It's multifandom, almost non-fandom, and gave me a wonderful warm feeling at the bottom of my heart. Make sure you watch all the way through to the dedication.

#~ And once that one's made you 'ah', go see crystalshard's Torchwood crack-vid I will Survive, which will make you giggle.

#~ The rest of the day consists of posting fic, writing fic, editing podfic, recording podfic, doing the ironing and finishing my typing job that will contribute towards a baby computer. Lugging the other half's laptop around yesterday, I really, really remembered why I want one. Looking on the internet this morning really, really reminded me that I can't afford one. Yet ;)

#~ If anyone else wants a commentary on anything, now's the time to request it! I'm up to 4 stories, and can probably go to 6 before my brain breaks :)

Any other cool stuff for me to waste my time on? I'm still working my way through VVC recs, fan_eunice's page and various other rec lists, but feel free to point out ones you think I might enjoy. Have a good day, guys!

Two more links.

I've written the first of my fic commentaries, and oh good grief, this could get addictive. It's annoying, but I tend to be so much more interested in the process and background to writing than the actual writing itself. This is a hindrance when you've got a 'to do' fic-list as long as your computer screen is high...

Anyway, the first commentary is on my Jack Harkness story Snookered [links to original] and can be found here [links to commentary]

Also, because I keep forgetting to mention it, hllangel is holding an all-fandom reccing meme. Great idea - go support it! I'm still thinking about what I want to rec, but it's going to be a terrific list when it's done.
