Chapter
The Bloody Doctor
The Bloody Doctor begins with a recollection as sharp as the breeze skimming the loch’s surface—where triumph is rare, but every cast carries hope. The narrator revisits Clearburn Loch, a rugged haven where trout still thrive despite dwindling populations elsewhere. The loch, distant and unforgiving, holds a charm stronger than logic. It’s not the ease of the catch that draws anglers, but the purity of the challenge. Even on days when lines come back empty, the promise of wild fish gliding under…-

A Tweedside Sketch
A Tweedside Sketch begins with an unvarnished admission of the narrator’s long-standing flaw—carelessness. It’s not born of laziness, but of a restless temperament that overlooks the small things.

As the narrator prepares for a salmon-fishing trip on the River Tweed, this trait resurfaces, leading to yet another avoidable misadventure.…-

The narrator, drawn there not for trout or company but for peace to work on a manuscript, finds solace in the shepherd’s house. With modest comforts and meager fishing prospects, the setting suits a soul in search of distance from a chaotic world. Amid the quiet,…-

RFCs
RFCs serve as the architectural blueprints of the internet, shaping the way systems communicate and evolve. Initially, they were simple memos exchanged by a tight-knit group of researchers. Today, they form a globally recognized documentation system that governs internet protocols, innovations, and standards. Every protocol that allows your browser to talk to a website or your email client to fetch messages is based on one or more of these documents. Their legacy lies not just in what they define, but how…-

Operating the Internet
Operating the Internet served as a fundamental experience in the early digital age, where users engaged with systems like BSD to access crucial documents.

Retrieving a file such as NETINFO:NUG.DOC, known as The Users Guide to the ARPAnet, involved connecting to servers like sri-nic.arpa via telnet before transitioning into an FTP session for downloading the…-

Trust Issues
Trust Issues in the internet’s operational framework have grown more pronounced as the network has expanded beyond its original controlled environment. Initially, under DARPA’s stewardship, the network’s integrity depended on mutual trust among a small, centralized group of gateways. These systems shared routing information freely, under the assumption that all parties were both competent and cooperative. But with the emergence of independent administrative domains and multiple wide area networks,…-
