Before you ask....

no I don’t have that much to do (marking, washing up, knitting, tidying, sorting laundry, getting well… )

so I found this

Pretty!

Now to go and knit

Oooh – and yesterday’s main nice thing – my other Karen Armstrong book (The Spiral Staircase) arrived – I’ve lent Islam: a short history to my mother – it’s excellent, and important, but I just don’t have the attention span at the moment – I need someone else to read it and tell me what it says.

two comments:

That is pretty… but I noticed that when I tried it using a character string with lots of characters the same, it turned the same colour very quickly… even the bits that weren’t the same colour to start with. In other words, it was tipped in favour of one colour. Does that make any sense?

I’m 38 too! Karen Armstrong taught me English at school. She’s cool, isn’t she? And a bit scary. I ought to read Islam again. Or rather, read the beginning again and read the rest to go with it. Ahem.

I heard Karen Armstrong do a seminar on the rise of fundamentalism – she was very thought-provoking. I’ve skimmed the last chapter, which basically says the same thing – i.e. that fundamentalism, of whatever religious (or atheistic) flavour arises as a response to modernism – particularly when said modernism is inflicted from outside over a very brief period of time. Still – if you read it, you can tell me what it says
