About Me
[edit]While there is a limited amount of information I'm willing to reveal about myself, since this account is pseudonymous, my location is in my infobox because I'm a keen photographer and am very happy to take and upload photos of locations in Bath and the surrounding area. If you need photos for an article, please leave me a message and I'll do my best, provided I can get to the location. Note that I might have already added some articles to my photos to-do list, but I won't be bothered by gentle reminders or duplicate requests.
Origin of My Username
[edit]The Galvanick Lucipher is a fictional design of lantern described in the novel Cryptonomicon:
Both Waterhouse and Ghnxh are encased in planklike wrappings of genuine Qwghlm wool, and the latter carries the galvanick lucipher. The Galvanick Lucipher is of antique design. Ghnxh, who is about a hundred years old, can only smile in condescension at Waterhouse's U.S. Navy flashlight. In the sotto voce tones one might use to correct an enormous social gaffe, he explains that the galvanick lucipher is of such a superior design as to make any further reference to the Navy model a grating embarrassment for everyone concerned.
The full description continues for several more paragraphs, and I would encourage you to go and read it; this short quotation doesn't really do it justice.
