Bostasp is a bunch of pages that happen to be loosely connected, out there on the vast internets. You happen to have found it, or at least, the page telling you about it.

It would seem that we seek to amuse ourselves with these loosely bound tatters of text (and code, and stuff ). Fittingly, “to amuse” throws the salt rather widely, which hopefully will be reflected here. In short, we aim to pepper these pages with anything that we find amusing or interesting, however obscure that may be.

On the obscure side, and pertaining to our roots, we also dabble in dicta. Dishing out aphorisms, epigrams, sayings and phrases, we began in a Year 9 Mathematics lesson back in 2001. Being many things to so few people, this website has barely reflected this over the years, but we hope to atone with our apophthegm, or plainly, our motto:

“Only we bounce over blue rainbows: To creatively endeavour all those before and amongst our spectre.”

Or, to put it more simply,

“Bacon is a form of comfort.”

For more information as to our origins and our background, please peruse the history page. If you wish to examine who actually spends their time writing this, head details of these creatures can be found in contributors. For a concise telling of our name, visit soubriquet.

Bostasp aspires to hand out articles, and perhaps even new little phrases we’ve coined, every fortnight. If we fail to do this, shout at us on twitter (or just say hello or something…).
