Ezine of Obliviana
Issue 225, 11/17/98

LORD OF OBLIVIANA
-----------

Well, it's 11/19/98 right now, and it's 11:58 PM. 11/19 is a major day in Obliviana, because, of course, 11 and 19 are the only numbers, besides 209 and 1, that can be multiplied to make 209. So I was very much hoping to do something important in Obliviana today. And just a few minutes ago, I did.

I have to tell you that in redesigning Obliviana from the ground up, I'm dealing with some pretty complex ideas. If you go to the Obliviana website right now (as in, soon after this issue is released), you'll see Octagon. It's a very simple geometrical construct--an octagon, where all the points are connected to all the other points. This results in 80 sectors.

I'm not gonna go into detail into what the significance of Octagon is, but rest assured that it is the foundation of one aspect of the new Obliviana system. In the coming weeks, you'll see what I mean.

So, I've made another step toward the implementation of the new Obliviana system. I know that it makes no sense at all right now, but once it's done, I think it'll be quite an awesome thing.

So stay tuned, all 23 of you. If the new Obliviana system is as good as I think it will be, a lot more than 23 people will be getting into it.

Get all Obliviana.

SONG OF THE WEEK
-----------

Beck, "Cancelled Check"
(Album: "Mutations")

-------------------
CARNE'S MOISTURE DETECTION FRIEND
Episode Seventeen
-----------

CARNE: Yeah, hello. I am talking to you from an airport chocolate store in Iowa or something. Can you hear me? My Moisture Detection Friend would love this place! He would totally suspect that time travellers from the 1970s were all around here.

PACER: Carne man, I can barely hear you! What are you calling from, a walky-talkie or something?

CARNE: Almost! It's one of those newfangled anti-satellite phone systems. Ytterbium, I think they call it. Instead of satellites, they bury transmitters deep in the earth's crust, allowing you to call from any point on Earth--even Iowa!
