Yeah, so we sold out. Better tweaked layout a-comin’ soon.

Five years ago today, we turned our email list into the first incarnation of Miscellaneous Heathen. Nearly 3,000 posts later, here we are. With what AWStats says is 5K+ unique visitors a month and around 80K hits a month, we figure a few more people than the original Arrant Knaves list are stopping by to participate in this rather public hobby.

Feeling nostalgic? Feel free to give the Archives a visit.

Certain other Heathen have been bitten by the comment-scrubber in overnight processing, so we want to take this chance to remind you all that certain words will get your comments automatically removed by a job that runs every night at midnight or so.

The forbidden words are (case-insensitive):

<

N.B. that “href” is among the forbidden terms. This means you cannot put a link in your comments. Sorry. However, you CAN put in a bare URL, and rely on the above-average population of Heathen to figure out how to copy and paste it into their browsers.

I posted the first entry at Heathen on 2000-11-29. Happy birthday to us.

Heavy Little Objects bills itself as a daily catalog of talismans. As confirmed gadget-and-geegaw freaks, we at Heathen approve.
