Finnegans Web & Wiki

Not sure what you think that slowly brute-forcing this site is going to accomplish, but (1) you’ll never get in, and (2) there’s no benefit in it for you whatsoever if you do. It is a colossal waste of your resources, and for what?

Cosmic Coincidence Control strikes again. Here I am in another compartment of my life studying Crowley’s Kabbalah, Tarot and yes, I-Ching correspondences, and blam, this pops up in a random rabbit hole. I felt it was worth sharing with you lovely people.

Surfing Finnegans Wake with Terence McKenna

From Wikipedia: The song was commissioned by singer Janet Fairbank, who later became known for pioneering contemporary music. Cage chose to set a passage from page 556 of Finnegans Wake, a book he bought soon after its publication in 1939. The composition is based, according to Cage himself, on the impressions received from the passage.^[2] The Wonderful Widow of Eighteen Springs marks the start of Cage’s interest in Joyce and is the first piece among many in which he uses the writer’s work.

Sorry y’all, I dropped the ball.  When I upgraded the MediaWiki software back in November, I forgot that one critical little setting that prevents asshole spammers from creating new accounts.  They found it, and created over 55,000 new accounts since then, and over 60,000 edits.  I’m in the process of cleaning it up now, which fortunately is mostly automated, and they won’t be able to create new accounts.

If you’re a legitimate user since then, and/or you created legitimate edits since then, well, I’m sorry to tell you, you and/or those edits are gone.  No way I could read through everything to determine legit vs non-legit, there was just too much of it.  Now we’re back ot the old policy.  Manual user creation only.  Contact me and tell me why you want an account on the Wiki, and we’ll go from there.  Can’t have nice things anymore without weight loss and casino spammers trying to ruin it.  At least it wasn’t mostly big dick pills this time.

From Gavan Kennedy:
