Friends page overload

Gah. Things are getting to the point where my friends page regularly picks up dozens of posts in just a few hours and keeping up with them all is just draining far too much of my time. Something has to change, as it means that other things are not getting done. Two options present themselves: firstly, I could just defriend a whole bunch of people who I don't really know, secondly, I could just read my friends page filtered. To help me decide, here's a gratuitous poll which I may or may not take any notice of. Enjoy.

Poll #176376 To de, or not to de - that is the question.
Open to: Friends, detailed results viewable to: All. Participants: 33

What should I do about friends-page overload?

Trim down your friends list - it's the honest thing to do.

Use filters, then folk can still read your protected posts.

I don't care what you do to them, just don't defriend me!

Strong with the force this office is

A long time ago in an office far,
far away . . . .

It is a time of change in the technical department. The YODA POSTER which was thought lost many years ago when we were denied it by some other EVIL DEPARTMENT has be found. We have rescued it from down the back of a partition and restored it to a PLACE OF GLORY on our wall. The great Jedi Master in his neatly-framed A0 glory now casts his BENEVOLANT GAZE over our office.

Playing with numbers...

I was idly playing with numbers in my head the other day, something to occupy my mind while I trudged back from Sainsbury's with a load of shopping. In particular, I was looking at number sequences (you know, what number comes next - 1, 3, 5, 7, ? or 1, 4, 9, 16, ?) and came up with the following (related, but calculated in opposite ways):

1 ... 4 ... 19,683 ... ?
1 ... 4 ... 7,625,597,484,987 ... ?
