Exertions upon
divergent occasions
Here are plinkables to copies of various things I've risked my wrists and fingers on in recent years. Most were submissions to various non-technical publications that were ignored. Almost all, even the ones that more-or-less technical pubs did e-print and the couple or three a newspaper or two did, are in the as-written form rather than the as-published, or even the as cut down to conform to procrustean Letters to the Editor limits, form. (And speaking of that sort of thing, if you haven't read the as-written version of Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land, you've got a wonderful treat coming -- as well as an opportunity to see why I hate copy editors, even if he did do the cuts himself.) No special order, and presumably there will be more at

if you feel like checking back since I've got a couple of more or
less technical, or at any rate 'Net-oriented, ones in draft that I'll
be getting rejected soon, but at least I'll put the non-tobacco
oriented ones first, just to feel I've done some sorting. Everything's © M. A. Padlipsky, b/t/w, even if

and tarted the "page" up a bit, if not otherwise stated, in fact. [And as of
2/05 I've actually started putting some far-from-recent stuff in, down
at the very bottom.] Those not about my main
