Chipping the web – least three unique

In George Orwell’s 1984, Winston Smith finally succumbs to the state’s therapy in Room 101, where he is threatened with his worst nightmare: having his face eaten by rats. 1984 is one of the great books of the 20th century. I read it cover to cover on December 31, 1983.
Chad Perrin has also been assimilated into the collective joined the ranks of TechRepublic bloggers, and here’s his first post. Congratulations, apotheon!
Check out a new blog by my oldest son, Rusty. Who knows?

Dan Olmsted’s final installment in the series The Age of Autism. A must read summary of the entire series.
How much money would it take to make you drink it?

Chip, in case you don’t make it back to the Carnival over at Thoughts & Philosophies, the post is updated and credit has been given where credit is due (she said, completely off-topic).
Thanks, Carolyn! Actually, I use co.mments.com to track comment threads, so I saw your comment.
Not a problem, Chip. There’s not a one of us who doesn’t want proper credit for our art; I’d have slept badly if I’d not changed it
Hard to believe I didn’t say “Thanks!” for the congratulations already. I read this the day it was posted — and forgot to comment.
NP, apotheon. Your comment just now reminded me that I forgot to subscribe.
[...] Least three unique: the smallest positive integer containing three unique digits (in base-10) is 102. [...]
Thanks for spoiling the book, I’m reading. You’re not really the sharpest tool in the box are you? You might want to think before you post in future, although from your feed I can see that you’ve been out of the habit.
Thanks for the kind words, James. If you don’t like what I have to say, just unsubscribe.
I thought everyone had read 1984 by now. And even though the rats scene forms the climax, I think the denouement carries more of the significance of the book.
Thanks for the support, Chip. I’ll try to live up to it!
Oh, and thanks for that co.mments.com tip. You’ve just cleared out about 2GBs of mental RAM for me in one fell swoop.
I don’t know how I’d keep up with threads without co.mments, Colleen. Now If I could only figure out how to automatically register any site on which I leave a comment, it would be perfect.
