Note: we got this up a few days late...because we missed Charles' answers amidst the torrent of email. He got it to us sooner than he promised, too. We thought that his ascendance to a transhuman state was getting in the way of communicating with the corporeal world (See Locus Online 4/14/2005: Charles Stross Attains Posthuman Status - At exactly 1:07 PM GMT on March 31, 2005, noted science fiction author Charles Stross ceased his existence as a baseline human being and entered an unknowable posthuman condition. )
image: from the author's website: www.antipope.com, which is not a rant against the Pope, Catholicism, or anything...but the result of a spelling error which resulted from trying to bribe a sysadmin with beer. It was supposed to be "autopope". So, as Charles is wont to say, we have been warned.
