They published my letter

News ·Friday May 2, 2008 @ 23:51 EDT (link)

I was reading about "a trick called a 'stripper magazine'" on Eric Raymond's IPSCC page, and decided to search the web for same.

Probably not a good idea, in hindsight (although not that serious, since SafeSearch was on and results are only brief snippets of text). Searching for "stripper magazine -sex" gave better results. (A stripper magazine, as it relates to guns, is a magazine that you use to chamber a round, then remove and load to capacity, so that you have an extra round before you need to reload.)

20080501: Up late and early working on generating the ECMA376 (OpenXML) deviations document.

We're both re-reading our Calvin and Hobbes books while the TV's out. Looking at TruGlo TFO (Tritium Fiber Optic) sights for my Glock, and an Arrow T50 staple gun for stapling targets if I get a membership to an outdoor range.

My letter to the editor was published in the Duvall Weekly, which came out today, but they mangled it a bit (copy errors, italics became double quotes, and they had to edit it for length, even though it was already short). Still reading Atlas Shrugged; I'm midway through John Galt's 56-page (!) speech to the world.

Books finished: Atlas Shrugged.
