The difficulty with understanding the story is that the length of it really makes it hard to find a clear and consistent symbolism that spans the entire narrative. My views also evolved as I wrote a number of different articles. I characterise the Lannisters as dishonourable - but later came to realise that the kind of honour at issue is relative to which group to which they are demonstrating loyalty.

One thing though, don't you think that the arrival of Melisandre means that the "magic as honor" theory needs to be revised? Perhaps is is more specifically about the Starks' honor, and connection to their dire wolves represents the Starks' trueness to the values of their house.

The main difference between Sir Humphrey and Hacker is that Sir Humphrey is both much more intelligent than Hacker, and also far more knowledgeable about the workings of his department. Since he has all the answers, he controls the dialogue. The problem with dismissing it as simple propaganda is that its theories track very well with how well big government serves the people - that is, barely at all.

Big fan of the Adam Curtis documentaries - and have been strongly influenced by them (I have a review of one of them on this site). After your comment I am actually amazed that it didn't occur to me to consider the issue of online dating and porn - it's such an interesting one so I thank you for bringing it up. But yeah - the essay was probably too long already. If you know of any good resources on the matter - feel free to post them here.

So I thought I might write a little guide for those who think they might be interested in learning Python. This guide will be a little unusual by most standards – and it won’t be for everyone. It will be for those who are vaguely interested in learning to program, but aren’t entirely sure if it’s for them. It’s for those who have perhaps tried before to get into it, but couldn’t sustain the discipline or motivation to keep going. Those who often hear stories about people getting addicted to programming but never could understand why themselves – such people might get something out of this guide.
