Guess i should be more circumspect in my use of such parochial cultural
refs (not to mention a registered trademark
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silly_Putty> -sorry, Crayola!) but again:
the feeling of working with TiddlyWiki is a lot like Silly Putty™, in that
you can stretch it and shape it into just about anything you can imagine.
Problem is: how does one ever manage to establish boundaries in such a
medium? Am practically paralysed by the possibilities, ATM. Gotta unplug
and get some fresh air! /w
