posts brought to you by the category “language”

Das eez kaput! Sometime around 2002 I spaced the entire database table that mapped individual entries to categories. Such is life. What follows is a random sampling of entries that were associated with the category. Over time, the entries will be updated and then it will be even more confusing. Wander around, though, it's still a fun way to find stuff.

Go on, give the gift of love.

I am not at all outraged nor am I upset that this received public funding. I am haunted, however, imagining whatever the functional equivalent of a bead-stringing / necklace party would be for this type of endeavour.

It would appear that another, less irate, way of posing my question from the other day

is to ask whether the RDF spec defines any way of assigning inline RFC 2168 style declarations for resolving URNs and requiring a parser to honour them?

This morning, I had to learn Evolution's dictionary the word "weblog".

Mind you, it did suggest that I use the Merholzian we-blog. Go figure.

The New York Times : a beautiful night-time photograph of Angkor Wat

during some fancy-pants fund-raiser. We spent three days in Siem Reap and saw only about half a dozen of the temples, waiting until the last day to visit Angok Wat. It's a terrible thing to say, but I've been fortunate enough to see a lot of temples in my life and as interested as a was to visit the Khmer temples I was a bit jaded in a "seem one temple, seem 'em all" sort of way. I'm not sure I could have been any more wrong than I was. If you ever get a chance to visit Angkor Wat, just go. No questions, go. Go, now. It's almost worth for all the dragon flies in the first inner courtyard, alone.

That picture of the escalator could be from any metro station in the city.

But whenever I see those little pointy bits that were installed on the dividers between the escalators going up and going down, I think of a time when they weren't there. Actually, I think they've always been there for as long as I've been in Montreal, but there was a time when they were staggered : a pair on the outside, a pair in the center and so on. Their placement allowed you just enough time to spread your feet and lift yout butt as you picked up speed, finally reaching that last two feet of leveling off before there was nothing underneath your except gravity.
