Mozzies of Mangos

Come little mango princess
Let me drink of that you are
Below the pretty lace and bows
Come little mango nurses
With your aprons and your capes
I want a red not in your crosses
Come too little swinging pirates
Don't spill it with your swords
I'll take it quick with gentle touch
I'll not ...

The lush-ripe fruit
Flower gone to seed
Would have me eat her
Peeling back the leather skin

Calling to me from her stall
I pick her up in fondest hope

Rough passions
Fine humour
Your words

Well let's embrace it friends
Plant our little seedlings

Try to give them wisdom
Raise them as good people

We're off, we're off for a quick trip to
The place where we did growing do
Returning in a single day

Tuxedo.
Turns out the MythTV failure was due to missing the OSS digital data interface in the Alsa module of the kernel (PCM), Myth was crashing in the middle of trying to work with the /dev/dsp interface without it. The card has again changed it's colour settings, but no big deal there.
Only major fallout still ...
Physical and Intellectual Depth (And the last paragraph of the somewhat reworked Abundant and Refined Depth section)
Written by

in
Design Theory.
Editing mostly today, though I did finally force myself to sit down and write something, even if it isn't particularly well written or long. Anyway, for the rabid design theory fans, here it is...
Designers often focus primarily on one of either abundant or refined depth. You will often see discussions of âtextural richnessâ of ...
Party of Loons
Written by

Vindaloo.
Those who are awake shiver
As the grey idealogue
And his party of loons
Lead the sleepers astray
Lure a country back
To darker days
