About half details extra frills which you may not much care much about. And some of what remains describes what *not* to do in very exacting detail. Feel free to either skip or skim through those.

  84.    <content>Should a literary masterpiece published in America surrender both its title and content decades later at the whim of contemporary British gutter slang? I cannot imagine it. Surely the least of Jack Vance's work will long endure past the demise of off-color terms in any local dialect, even that of Her Majesty. Who even knows how many other such terms there might be? If yielding to one, then why not to all? Indeed, do let a Compton rap artist have a go at redacting Shakespere. Would not Londoners very rightly be appalled? Just as rightly am I entitled to heartfelt disappointment over alterations now appearing in a volume of the Vance Integral Edition.

  96.    <content>Jack Vance has been writing since ten years even before I was born, and is getting quite elderly now. Although gone blind quite some years ago, still he writes. I do enjoy quite a number of authors: Harrison, Herbert, Heinlein, et al. But Jack Vance towers above them all. His writing is timeless “ meaning that often a reader can’t tell when it was written. Thus most of his works will never age.

  109.    <summary>Is your martial arts school a cult?</summary>
  110.    <content>There is a euphemism in Eastern philosophy which goes, First you must empty your cup..., which is to say, empty your mind of pre-conceived notions when you set out to learn something new. And this is reasonable advice, as far as it goes. But often you find that some self-acclaimed authority or other requires you to empty your mind not only of preconceptions but also reasoned and well-documented historical perspective. And all too often not only those must be surrendered, but also both your reason and your common sense. If that is the case, then by empty your cup what they really are asking is that you empty out your brain pan. And this is carrying a useful anecdote too far by leagues.

I never really plan a route, at least not fully. By preference I start out upon a certain road heading in the right general direction and then proceed by whim and dead reckoning after that...unless (or until?) I wind up semi-lost.

This latter group holds a special meeting annually which this year is sponsored by a sister center in Ottawa. The meeting is to be held in a KOA campground at Ivy Lea in the Thousand Islands region of the St. Lawrence River at the northeastern tip of Lake Ontario. Instead of flying I elect to ride my Royal Star motorcycle.

And additionally, I have my niece’s wedding to attend in Decatur, AL. Those two important events pose a slight constraint on my route, and the latter also on timing. So my usually zig-zag path is a bit more scrunched than usual in that it is completely unplanned, except for those two destination points in the middle.

  305.    <summary>How to merge Tektronix CSV files.</summary>
  306.    <content>Where I work we have a Tektronix 4-channel digital oscilloscope which saves data in *.csv format. That is good. The bad part is that it saves a separate file for each channel, even though they are synchronous. So what this script does is merge two *.csv files back into one, then graphs them. Full documentation and examples.

  334.    <content>The markup required to create a master document in XML is very simple. It has only a fraction the complexity of a corresponding XHTML file. The reason for this is all of that extra complexity has been handed off for automatic handling by the XSLT stylesheet.
