I have updated the links page at the Cuparium for the first time since November 2005. I’m not sure why I waited so long.
I have also added some colorful expressions originating with Tom Corbett, Space Cadet to the Swearwords of Science Fiction and Fantasy glossary.
I have just updated the Robots in Film and Television survey, and the Swearwords of Science Fiction and Fantasy lexicon has been expanded to twice its former size.
I’ve added a new subsection to the words section of the Cuparium. Odd Reference is where I collect certain surveys, lists, glossaries, and other informational miscellany that appeal to me. Such are my time-squandering powers:
The first two started as surveys here and in my LiveJournal site. If you wish to comment or suggest additions, the Cuplog versions are here for robots and here for computers; Mr. Cooper’s Journal versions are here for robots and here for computers. Confused? Fear not. All mirrors are hyperlinked to one another.
If you wish to make comments or suggestions for my new dictionary of science fiction and fantasy swearwords, that page did not start as a survey, so please feel free to comment here, or in the swearword announcement at Mr. Cooper’s Journal.
As for this lexicon of speculative foul language, I was prompted partially by an appreciation for any sign of creativity in a form of human expression that has become increasingly barren. To be honest, I enjoy venting my harsher emotions in a manner that surprises, confuses, and yet doesn’t quite descend to a level of crudity that ought to be beneath me. ‘Tis a fine way to promote lexicography, too!
I updated the About page.
I made a few alterations to the site today. The archives index now lists the title of each entry as well as the date (not that it helps much, since most of the titles are about the difficulty of thinking of a title, but the information is there if you need it).
I have also added an index of engravings to the nonsensical feature, “Engravings by Heck; Comments by Cuparius.” Formerly, the only means of navigation was a Javascript button, but now you may access the complete list of engravings from every page that has an engraving. The link follows the original publication date below the caption.
I have also updated some pages found in the lists index. ‘Tis nothing earth-shattering, but now you know.
That’s all for the moment. Be seeing you… :-?
