How to analyse OS Intel

[pecunium]

This relates to a conversation I was having with abi, over at Making Light about how to parse an intel-professional's comments (mostly it's not that hard, but it requires a certain type of painfully literal reading of what was left out, as well as what was left in).

All of that aside, the writer of Once Upon a Time has posted a piece on, How you too can, and should, be an intel-analyst.

He's right.

Re: What fascinated me, in brief

If Neil Gaiman said something like that to me, I think I'd pass out. Heady indeed.

I've met a couple of famous people, and I know people who know famous people, or at least authors I like. I even have a couple of authors I'm really fond of on my friends list. There's just always that initial moment of "Wow, you wrote this thing I thought was really wonderful, and, uhhh, hi..." I usually regain some intelligence after that. :)

I seem to recall a sestina, but I ended up staying up far too late looking at this, so my sleeping brain might have manufactured it. There was indeed a villanelle.
