h1. Marmite's Musings

-Getting up earlier than is absolutely necessary is madness. Giving in to your body saying it's time to get up is weakness.
-We don't trust the NSA, or any government organisation, to make anything secure. This is why we make everything ourselves (if you're reading, hi NSA! We love you guys. Please don't send drones after us. Also, this Christmas we want a pony).
-Maddy: adblax has lush hair. Advice to adblax: be careful around maddy and scissors.

-Mr Marshall's suggestions dscussed. Splitting society into academic/gaming rejected, primarily on financial, logistical and organisational grounds.
