One day I'll do it.
Numerous times I've played with the idea of constructing
a Boidem column that would consist solely of links to previous pages. After more
than a decade of monthly columns I've covered an awful lot of territory - and
not only in the stated, formal, topics of each column, but via the asides and
digressions that are probably the bulk of what's really interesting here.
The impetus for such a column is usually the feeling that I get, while preparing
a column, that I'm about to repeat myself. It's at
times such as these that I'll ask myself whether it wouldn't make more sense to
simply link to what I'd previously written. But of course I'm not really in the
business of making sense here, but of trying to cajole the unexpected, the not-fully-obvious-to-the-eye,
possibilities from what might, on the surface, hardly seem particularly worthy
of second thoughts.
