Web Intermediaries -- but this all old stuff from before 2000. The point is clear, however: with standard protocols, intermediary processing can do incredible things.

Apparently it's also about translation
http://www.qub.ac.uk/schools/SchoolofEnglish/Research/ResearchForums/BetwixtandBetween/
Betwixt and Between is the Queen’s University Research Forum in Translation and Cultural Encounter. As our name suggests, we explore translation both as a model for the uprooted, de-centred imagination, and as a practice that prompts us, as readers and writers, to look outwards from the heart of our own cultural matrix, to engage with conceptions of time and place that are different to our own.

They have a whole conference -- wow. I'll never get that big.

Wait a minute -- poet and blog the same?
Sounds like it is. Or was:
Betwixt and Between is the blog that explores the sense of confusion engendered in Gavin Stewart by trying to be a Father, a Poet, an Academic and an Artist in no particular order.
Farewell to Betwixt and Between
I have finally forced myself to admit that I have too many blogs. I have a regular blogging berth at nmrg and I have my occasional 'project blog' at Writings not for WIMPs. I enjoy blogging about my work life and research interests so I have decided to pour my blogging energy into these two. My personal life is well 'personal' (in so much as that word has any meaning in the era of facebook and google) and not really something I have enjoyed blogging about. So it is time to say farewell to this blog. It was a fun experiment while it lasted!
This will be the last post on this feed. If there are any more it will either be me being absent-minded or else it will be some kind of internet nuisance...either way you can be forgiven for ignoring it!

So, can I have it, G? Thanks. Actually, mine isn't named the same -- but too close for comfort.
And a poet too

I don't really know Gavin Stewart, but some of his poetry is about pleasurable pain. Quite a concept.

Another view, this time from Bartleby (online)
According to http://www.bartleby.com/68/32/832.html
Betwixt is an archaic or obsolescent preposition, except in the idiom and cliché betwixt and between, which means “neither the one thing nor the other,” “halfway between,” “in the middle,” “on the fence”: She simply couldn’t make up her mind, and so she hesitated there, caught betwixt and between.

And, finally, a French author weighs in ...
According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betwixt_and_Between
Betwixt and Between (L'Envers et l'endroit, also translated as The Wrong Side and the Right Side, Collection, 1937) is a work of non-fiction by Albert Camus.

Yet another blog of ALMOST the same name!

Nothing lately posted, however. Hope all is alright in Kenya, or wherever.

Betwixt or Between -- the game is on!
Consider the game with the same name:
Change each of the following words to a different word by placing two letters in between the letters indicated. The two new letters have to be consecutive—that is, they have to come right after one another in the alphabet, such as the letters IJ or RS. For example, you can change BE to BABE by putting the letters AB in between B and E.

- SIT (put two consecutive letters between I and T)
- YOUNGER (put two consecutive letters between G and E)
- BAY (put two consecutive letters between A and Y)
- BEND (put two consecutive letters between E and N)
- HONEY (put two consecutive letters between E and Y)
Not first, not surprisingly
Just found this blog: http://zwischensein.blogspot.com/ - focused apparently on religion. Not just religion, but gay Anglicanism.
That's quite something. I do however love the word in German: zwischensein -- in between. Zwischen is between. Odd.
Not sure what to make of this. I didn't get a lot of "between-ness" from his postings, but ... well, I'll I can think of is bad jokes from here. Best not.

What's BetwixtInBetween?
Surprisingly enough, I'm interested in many things, but nothing's MORE interesting than things that are betwixt and between. Or, betwixt and in between.
When I was a kid, I remember I couldn't even figure out what the word between was? I have regularly stared at it on the page in print and thought "what"? Bet-ween? What? Odd, that.
But, I am interested in things that are in between other things people focus on. For example:
I hope to post examples of these betwixt and between cases that intrigue me. Maybe they will you two. Plus, I think I'll have to talk about music some too.

But, I am interested in things that are in between other things people focus on. For example:
- not the start, not the end, but the journey
- not the current state, not the future goal, but the migration plan to get there
- not the desktop PC, not the server, but the network connecting them (yes, I work in IT)
- not the buyer or the seller, but the intermediaries that enable their commerce
