• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

Sometimes I jot down odd things my coworkers say, and they eventually inspire titles. For example, we used to use a graphics program called "QuarkXpress", and one day as someone was complaining about it crashing, someone else told him to "stop shouting at Quark."

The weird horror short story title it inspired became "Shouting at Quarks."

I've also always thought typography font names would make great noir detective names, as in "Benton Sans and Cooper Black, Detectives Private..." :rolleyes:

'Benton Sans and Cooper Black; Tahoma Calling.' might make an interesting tale
