This started out as a blog post on Underdogs Bite Upwards, currently a Wordpress blog. It seems to have aged quite well. It’s now over seven years old but still gets a link on Twitter and on other blogs from time to time.
I thought it might be worth making it into a free eBook rather than have people search an obscure blog for ancient posts. That way you can pass it around in eBook format freely – the only condition is that you don’t change anything. Give it away, post links to it, hell, post the whole thing on your site if you want but it has to remain intact. That’s the copyright rule. Break it, and I’ll come round and be mercilessly sarcastic at you.
The other rule is, you can’t charge anyone for a copy of this. You’re not paying for it, it’s free to all. No profiting without putting any effort in. That’s what governments and tax-funded NGOs do.
It’s pretty much the same as the original. I edited it a little bit and took out some links that no longer work but otherwise it’s the original that keeps getting quoted by people online. I did think about updating it to include more of the weirdness that has come to pass since the original post but, well, it seems to cover everything anyway. The new stuff just follows the format used for the old.
It’s more popular than pretty much anything I’ve written since. I’m not too sure how to feel about that...
