Typi non habent claritatem insitam; est usus legentis in iis qui facit eorum claritatem. Investigationes demonstraverunt lectores legere me lius quod ii legunt saepius. Claritas est etiam processus dynamicus, qui sequitur mutationem consuetudium lectorum. Mirum est notare quam littera gothica, quam nunc putamus parum claram, anteposuerit litterarum formas humanitatis per seacula quarta decima et quinta decima. Eodem modo typi, qui nunc nobis videntur parum clari, fiant sollemnes in futurum.

Blogging for the sheer joy of it.

Well, I don’t think joy is the correct word, but you get the meaning. Since anyone can self-publish, maybe they should. Storage is cheap, anything posted on the internet appears to remain around forever, and there are internet archeology sites that keep information long past it’s expiry date.

Maybe that’s what we need, an expiration date for content. After that it goes into the Public Domain bit bucket. Oh, wait a sec, we already have that, it’s called a copyright and some fool keeps changing the best before date. I don’t know about you but UHT treatment for content doesn’t seem to work. Why should copyright be extended way beyond the death of the creator?

Calendar appears to be a little in the future

Oddly enough, looking at the calendar to the right as I write this, it shows that today is the 13th of February. I appear to have a time travelling calendar, as the system time shows correctly and the time settings for the site match the system time.

It’s a mystery for another day though, as I have no desire to pour over the calendar module to see if it is set to GMT by default.

From the Queensway, take the Metcalfe exit and proceed north. When you hit Albert, you are effectively there. You can try for street level parking or use the World Exchange Plaza garage.

Next Meeting

First Public Post!

It looks like we will be having a meeting next Thursday, February 15, 2007, at 19:00, location to be determined. We no longer have access to the boardroom, so I am working on an alternative. The fallback location will be Tim Horton’s on Carling Avenue, next to the Lone Star.
