It's a new month... time for some new bug fixes!
While Matt is still working on harnessing the book data that we all have contributed to, and making it available for searches, he's also been rather busy fixing other things, and even adding some nifty little features. Read all about it in this Announcements forum post.

Synopsis (Credit: www.amazon.co.uk)
Poetry, satire, parody and melancholic musings are complemented by comic line drawings -- a potpourri of delights with an often surprising undertone of sadness.
(Bought new at Help the Rural Child Charity Bookshop, Victoria Road, Mowbray.)

My first introduction to Gus Ferguson and his ability to capture an idea in spot-on, quirky verse was years back, when he used to contribute to the annual event magazine of the Cape Argus/Pick n Pay Cycle Tour. I've been a fan ever since.
Some excerpts from An Alphabet of Small Poems from this anthology:
DYSEXLIC
She signs her letter:
'Lost and lost of love.'
INTERNET SENRYU
I believe that G-d
Encrypted the Universe
For fear of hackers.
JUSTIFICATION
Life is but a gift of time
Spent in gathering evidence
Against the summons for the crime
Of wasting that inheritance.
WORLD WITHOUT END
On the death of an old computer
Dos to Dos
Ascii to Ascii
