note Anonymous Monk <tt>pemungkah</tt> stems from my interest in Balinese gamelan - sort of like low-tech techno, for those who've never heard it - specifically <i><a href="http://www.kotekan.com/gender.htm ">gender wayang</a></i>, one of the most ancient forms. I needed a nick for IRC, and wanted to pick something that was not likely to spring to anyone else's mind. <p> The <i>pemungkah</i> itself is an overture played before the traditional Balinese shadow puppet play of the <i>Mahabarata</i>, as the puppeteer is laying out the puppets that are to be used. 110166 110166 6
