from the untilled wilderness of my mind

the very, very far reaches. right up the back, where the sheep and goats interbreed, and the kea talk to you. or something.

One of the things that bugs me about filing systems, is that you can't use english word in file names if you want the files to order properly. You get:

FileEight
FileFive
FileFour
FileNine
FileOne
FileSeven
FileSix
FileThree
FileTen
FileTwo

grr. (very small grr, but it managed to struggle through to the front of my head so I thought I'd indulge it)

Foolish me!

This is the alternative counting system it gave me:

aine
dou
drey
fair
foive
gaex
gephen
ight
nine
ten

Note: The 'g' for six and seven is the french pronounciation, as the second 'g' in garage.

In other words, if only many, many millions of people had spoken funny, I would havce a more coherant filing structure.
