Den Tod erlebt man nicht.


"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
I watched C-beams glitter in the dark...
near the Tannhauser gate.
All those moments will be lost in time....
......Like tears in rain. Time to die"

Roy Batty in Blade Runner


Did Roy Batty know the moment of his death?

A new shorthand for blip.fm

A new shorthand has emerged at blip.fm

When a user re-blips another (say user Fred112233) then a user can add the following: de @Fred112233 where the "de" means from that user. It also means thanks!

Numbers, in Fives and a one-time pad.

The groups of five numbers are messages to spies in the field, transmitted on short wave frequencies. The message could only be revealed using the agent's one-time pad.



And hence are now meaningless....
