Posted on in My Life, Work.I got a letter summonsing (love that ‘s’) for jury duty. March 19th. With the schedule for the launch of the new site and the several levels above critical part that I’m to play in said schedule, that’s a really, really good time. Or maybe not.
Yeah, I’m going to have to defer it until later in the year but until then, I’m looking forward to the expression on people’s faces at work tomorrow when I tell them.

But don’t be too quick to blame Microsoft, etc. ‘cos this is nothing new. A couple of hundred years ago aristocrats would send illustrations of their coats of arms over to China to have them painted on china in order to produce the sort of dinner service that any self respecting stately home should possess. One nobleman decided to save a penny or two and instead of sending a colour illustration sent a black and white illustration with the colours indicated via labels, in English. You can guess the rest.

Posted on in My Life.The other night the doorbell rang, we weren’t expecting anyone and it does tend to ring for no reason so we ignored it. Then it rang again, and then a third time. So I went down to see whether there was actually anybody there. A nervous looking middle aged bloke was hovering on the other side of the gate. When I got close enough to hear what he was saying I discovered that he was apologetically asking whether there were “any girls upstairs, any women?” “Um, er yes,” I replied puzzled, and then realisation dawned, and I hurriedly continued “Oh! No, not that sort of women.” Later, ![[info]](http://stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}

When two fans get chatting in the line for autographs at a convention, you’re the one that flinches when the other swears. You own a cat called Sutekh.
