More? Please? I hope you will continue with this. I’ve just discovered the blog (thanks to Pharyngula), and now I pounce on anyone I know and start telling them about the Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage. And when they tell me they didn’t have any, I go “Bah! Humbug!” and return here to twitter things on fans. Thank you very very much for the comic, the laughs, and the science!

I certainly hope the real-work Monsters have not consumed you physically as well as psychic-ly. I need more Ada and the Bab. My geek-nerd-IT daughter directed me to your comic and I have spent the past four hours navigating and chortling through it when I should be de-Christmas-ing my house and preparing classes for tomorrow. I have been writing a book about Byron for about a third of my life and direct you to my FAQs about him deep in my pages at http://www.byronmania.com. MORE! I NEED MORE. Annabella as a shaded spectre, Ada’s fan – useless for Twitter, and Queen Vicky’s ornate vocabulary are my faves. I laughed aloud at the dot matrix kitty – ah! those were the days. You are a comic genius and I hope you are getting sufficient reward.

I’m just agreeing with Jamie’s comment above. I’d love to add your feed to my reader, but I’d rather use your url and not feedburner directly. Unfortunately, the forwarder from your wordpress feed url to feedburner has an errant space messing up the redirection!
I’ll be checking back often until it’s fixed though! Awesome comics!

Important point: These comics are fabulous!

Unimportant but hopefully helpful point: When I tried to subscribe to the RSS feed using Firefox by clicking the little blue icon that shows up at the right-hand end of the navigation bar, it didn’t work because there’s a space in the URL between ‘feedburner.com/’ and ’sydneypadua’; same problem with the Atom feed. Not a problem with the orange icon at the top of your right-hand menu, though.

Brief recap of important point: Fab!

I would pay hella money for a proper print of the panel in Origins when Ada tries to Twitter her discovery of the analytical engine, and realizes that she only has a fan.

I humbly suggest you consider adding such things to your store: I don’t really need a coffee mug or babydoll hoodie, but I decorate my house with prints of ingenious webcomic art. I see a great need!

Ghu.. thanks jalf.. I’ll see if I can hunt down the cause. It might be related to the mystery sidebar bumping which arises around the same time I think. At some point I might have to outsource this webby stuff it sure eats up a lot of time!

The navigation is a bit wonky. The ‘next’ link starting from ‘the origin’ seems to work up to http://sydneypadua.com/2dgoggles/the-person-from-porlock/, where it mysteriously vanishes.

And gags are bad?

I check, too. Often. I even check for new comments, hence me making a new comment in response to new comments. (This will, of course, curtail itself down to a dull roar once school starts up again.)

Hope work evens out soon!

OH geez I'm sorry.. I've just been swamped and the next episode keeps mysteriously sprouting gags. You could always subscribe to the RSS feed so it will come to you when it's ready.. or I do have a Twitter feed if you REALLY want to track the progress..
