I was going to post a query because it was one of those things that you couldn't Google, and that wouldn't be on Hal Hall's SFRDB, nor in the Locus Index (which I find answers most things round here).
Only I've forgotten what it was.
If anyone a) knows what it is and b) what the answer was, I'd appreciate it.

a) what the kids are calling post-cyberpunk these days
b) an alternative term for what I called and prefer to call cyberpunk-flavoured
c) a species of Amazonian tree frog
To be honest I hadn't heard of the term until a reader's report told me that this was what term I should be using. Consider me going grr at this.
Plan A for today was:
a) hack out 500 words for publicity article
b) send off tax form
c) watch Fahrenheit 911 with the
kidsstudentsd) do minor rejigging on lecture for Monday
e) do the bloody rewrites on an article
a, b and d achieved. I guess I should quite while I'm ahead.

I'm sure someone did a short story in the form. John Sladek or J.G. Ballard.

Re: ... now what's the question
I thought the term suggested either
(a)Bold as Love, only with Johnny Rotten
or (b)Steampunk, only with compost heaps.
I think I'd plump for the Amazonian tree frog, personally.

Not quite, quit.
Sod it. Turning off. Going to get vid of Full Monty from the library. Going home. Eating. Have a sodding drink or three with alcohol in it.
