I bet you didn’t know that. I sure didn’t.

What I also didn’t know was that there is apparently a much tattier predecessor to the august and formidable WikiPedia. And it’s just chock full of nutty goodness and it’s not really apparent quite how it’s organized. At all.

Well, I do know that actress “biography” entries are more or less alphabetical by first name.

I stole this from e2 I hate to admit.

• ← — ← — ← — leftwards arrow, U2190 ISOnum
• ↑ — ↑ — ↑ — upwards arrow, U2191 ISOnum
• → — → — → — rightwards arrow, U2192 ISOnum
• ↓ — ↓ — ↓ — downwards arrow, U2193 ISOnum
• ↔ — ↔ — ↔ — left right arrow, U2194 ISOamsa
• ↵ — ↵ — ↵ — downwards arrow with corner leftwards, =carriage return, U21B5 NEW
• ⇐ — ⇐ — ⇐ — leftwards double arrow, U21D0 ISOtech
  Unicode does not say that lArr is the same as the ‘is implied by’ arrow but also
  does not have any other character for that function. So ? lArr can be used for
  ‘is implied by’ as ISOtech suggests
• ⇑ — ⇑ — ⇑ — upwards double arrow, U21D1 ISOamsa
• ⇒ — ⇒ — ⇒ — rightwards double arrow, U21D2 ISOtech
  Unicode does not say this is the ‘implies’ character but does not have another
  character with this function so ? rArr can be used for ‘implies’ as ISOtech suggests
• ⇓ — ⇓ — ⇓ — downwards double arrow, U21D3 ISOamsa
• ⇔ — ⇔ — ⇔ — left right double arrow, U21D4 ISOamsa

None knows, when he comes, how much centimeter it brings and like for a long time lasts it.

Calling up someone at a public service desk in a non-English speaking country is HARD! and Funny.

I couldn’t help smelling a certain resemblance when I was watching the Denver Audtions of American Idol last week. Not that my photoshoppery is anything close to Flawless. But. George W Bush / Nick McCord. Come on!

I’ve been doing lots of side work, or on-the-sly work, for this new 2nd job I’ve recently taken. That’s why I seem to be away. It promises to be a marvellous addition to my portfolio, and to my wallet. Nevertheless, I’m a little bit too busy to write about it.
