+
+<p class="first">We all like Free Software here right?</p>
+

+<a href="http://f-droid.org">F-Droid</a>, the <strong>excellent</strong> market for Free Software applications. During
+2012 it made huge steps forward, and now contains software for
+basically every common task (even a <a href="http://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=nyan&fdid=com.powerje.nyan">Nyan Cat live background</a>, if

+<p>Long ago I made a few backgrounds to make my desktop look nicer. You
+may use this however you wish, but if you use them online I request
+that you link back to this page and copy the image to another location
+to save my bandwidth. Myspace users seem to enjoy directly linking to
+images; luckily HCoop's current colo provider doesn't charge obscene
+fees for bandwidth as our ancient one did.</p>

+<p>Just a basic recipe for moderately spicy sauteed tofu, quick and easy
+and not too unhealthy. Goes well with steamed broccoli and rice.</p>
+
+<p>I don't press the tofu as I find when it does it absorbs too much of
+the marinade and the inside of the cubes just become vaguely vinegary.</p>
+
+<h2><a name="sec1" id="sec1"></a>
+Ingredients</h2>
+
+<ul>
+<li>14oz (397g) Firm Tofu</li>
+<li>Oil for sauteeing. Recommend a few tbsp of plain sesame oil with a
+small amount of toasted sesame oil added near the end.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3><a name="sec2" id="sec2"></a>
+Marinade</h3>
+
+<ul>
+<li>1/2 cup water</li>
+<li>2.5 tbsp low sodium soy sauce</li>
+<li>2 tbsp apple cider vinegar</li>
+<li>2 tbsp pomegranate molasses
+
+<ul>
+<li>Try to find some with no added sugar (hard
+nowadays!). <a href="http://www.alwadi-alakhdar.com/products/molasses/natural-pomegranate-molasses/">Al Wadi pomegranate molasses</a> is available on Amazon
+(Bezos wins this round...) if your local market doesn't have any
+pure pomegranate molasses.</li>
+</ul></li>
+<li>4 cloves garlic, minced</li>
+<li>1/2 tbsp onion powder</li>
+<li>1/2 tbsp garlic powder</li>
+<li>1 small serrano or habanero pepper, minced</li>
+<li>2 tsp corn starch</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<h3><a name="sec3" id="sec3"></a>
+Sauteed Vegetables</h3>
+
+<p class="first">Can really be anything, sautee separately for a few minutes. I like:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>1 Sweet bell pepper (red, yellow, or orange)</li>
+<li>1 bunch green onions</li>
+<li>Baby Corn</li>
+<li>Snap peas</li>
+<li>1/2 medium white onion (cut into 1/2 inch thick slices parallel
+with rings, then cut each slice in half)</li>
+<li>1 tbsp chili paste</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<h3><a name="sec4" id="sec4"></a>
+Rice</h3>
+
+<ul>
+<li>1 cup rice</li>
+<li>2 whole cloves garlic</li>
+<li>1/4 tsp tumeric</li>
+<li>1 tsp paprika</li>
+<li>1 tsp olive oil</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Cook rice on side, using whatever rice you like. Remove garlic before
+serving.</p>
+
+
+
+<h2><a name="sec5" id="sec5"></a>
+Directions</h2>
+
+<ol>
+<li>Drain tofu and cut tofu into cubes of desired size (1/2 inch suggested)</li>
+<li>Combine marinade ingredients except for corn starch and freshly minced garlic</li>
+<li>Cover tofu with marinade, marinate for ~30 minutes, refrigerated</li>
+<li>Strain tofu, retain marinade!</li>
+<li>Prepare cornstarch by dissolving in a few tbsp of water</li>
+<li>Mix retained marinade, cornstarch, and minced garlic well</li>
+<li>Preheat pan over medium-high heat</li>
+<li>Add oil and sautee tofu for ~12 minutes, tossing every three or
+four minutes</li>
+<li>Lower heat to medium, add sauce, and simmer until sauce
+thickens (~8 minutes).</li>
+</ol>
+
+
+<h2><a name="sec6" id="sec6"></a>
+TODO</h2>
+
+<p class="first">bird's eye peppers instead of serrano/habanero</p>
+
+<p>pressing tofu seems to have made it worse; outside of tofu isn't as
+"chewy" and inside just tasted like marinade and was a bit chewier
+than I wanted. Skip.</p>
+
+<p>In the batch where the tofu was pressed (and I first increased the
+cornstarch), the sauce thickened in under four minutes and scorched a
+bit from the heat. Sauce did not thicken quickly in next batch (did
+not press tofu) — it looks like pressing the tofu caused the tofu to
+absorb more of the marinade so there was less sauce.</p>

+<h2><a name="sec1" id="sec1"></a>
+The Wishlist</h2>
+
+<p class="first">After my old frame broke, I thought about what I wanted in a new
+bike.</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Mechanical disc brakes (ease of maintenance mostly)</li>
+<li>Lugged steel frame (why not?)</li>
+<li>Indexed shifters</li>
+<li>Rear rack mounts (without horrible hacks required) and maybe mounts
+for a front rack too (nice for multi-day treks)</li>
+<li>Front and rear fender mounts (again, without horrible hacks)</li>
+<li>No suspension (extra annoying maintenance and pain with things like
+fenders)</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>I was willing to lose the disc brakes for the fender and rack mounts.</p>
+
+
+<h2><a name="sec2" id="sec2"></a>
+A Whole Lot of Money Later</h2>
+
+<p class="first">I searched high and low and found a few bikes that <em>almost</em> had what I
+wanted... Unfortunately the bike I want doesn't exist for under $1200
+which is a <em>wee bit</em> much for my liking. Months of searching in vain on
+Craigslist for anything less expensive failed, and I gave up on the
+dream of my ideal bike.</p>
+
+<p>Instead, I got a <a href="http://www.trekbikes.com/us/en/bikes/town/fitness/fx/7_3_fx_disc/">2012 Trek 7.3 FX Disc</a> for the low low price of $720 +
+a painful bit of sales tax. A few hundred more than I had wanted to
+spend, but it <em>did</em> meet all of my wishlist except for the frame.</p>
+
+<table class="image" width="100%">
+ <tr><td align="center"><img src="img/photos/bicycle/2012-01-01/new-bike-with-fenders.jpg" alt="Everyone loves new toys" /></td></tr>
+ <tr><td align="center" class="image-caption">Everyone loves new toys</td></tr>
+</table>
+
+<p>I promptly ordered a replacement battery for my Dual Cross 300 (at
+this point, I can wholeheartedly recommend <a href="http://cygolite.com">Cygolite</a>'s stuff — the
+head light outlasted the battery pack <strong>and</strong> the bike I got it for!), SKS
+fenders, and thought about <a href="http://www.jandd.com/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=FREXP">new rack</a> (but ended up reusing my old rack
+for now). As of January 1, 2012 I am ridiculously out of shape and
+barely able to go anywhere, but I'm hoping in a few weeks my entire
+body will stop hurting after a few hill climbs.</p>
+
+<h3><a name="sec3" id="sec3"></a>
+Fender Installation</h3>
+
+<p class="first">It is a well known fact that SKS packages their fenders with
+instructions designed to deceive and punish half-men who read them. Of
+course, I tried reading them despite not really needing to (and,
+indeed, ended up led astray). After spending ages getting the new stay
+ends on (which I ended up having to remove from the front later) the
+real fun started.</p>
+
+<p>The rear fender, I am happy to report, went on without a hitch. The
+caliper-side braze-on was positioned such that I didn't even have to
+cut or re-route the stay like on my old
+mountain-biked-turned-commuting-rig.</p>
+
+<p>The front fender, on the other hand, was a bit of a pain. The SKS
+fenders do <strong>not</strong> come with the M6 bolt needed for mounting the fender to
+the crown (riddle me this: why the hell is that an M6 bolt when every
+other bolt on the bike is M5?). I'm guessing because most bikes have a
+brake bolt you can piggy back on (then again, the kit comes with
+about five extra bolts that have seemingly no use on any bike...).</p>
+
+<p>A trek to Home Despot proved fruitless; a trek to the other super
+chain also yielded disappointing results. Both only carried plain
+steel metric bolts... I hacked it for a while until I could hop down
+to the bike shop to get a proper stainless steel bolt.</p>
+
+<p>That challenge overcome, even more fun was to be had with the
+caliper-side stay. <sup><a class="footref" name="fnr.1" href="#fn.1">1</a></sup> The lower stay had to go directly through the
+caliper. I found a <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/seditiouscanary/3358079803/">few</a> different <a href="http://www.bikeforums.net/archive/index.php/t-609665.html">solutions</a>, neither of which I ended
+up using.</p>
+
+<p>I accidentally found the front fender I was never able to mount on my
+MTB and ... <em>phew</em> breathing room! Having two spare stays made it easier
+to experiment and eventually I found that cutting the the lower stay
+arm and mounting the stay to the upper rack eyelet was the easiest
+solution. This does require not using the newfangled integrated end
+caps (luckily I had the caps from the old set) because the insertion
+angle of the caliper-side stay isn't quite straight.</p>

+
+<p>After two days of cursing at my bike success was mine.</p>
+
+
+<p class="footnote"><a class="footnum" name="fn.1" href="#fnr.1">1.</a> Actually, I hacked the crown bolt mount using a smaller bolt and a
+nut first, and then solved the stay issue... followed by despair
+and pain as I discovered the front of the fender hit the tire. It
+seemed like this was because of the weird stay mount hack (the fender
+was under a bit of tension) and I wasted quite a bit of time
+adjusting the stays only to realize ... the fender wasn't flush
+against the crown. D'oh.</p>

+<h2><a name="sec1" id="sec1"></a>
+Ingredients</h2>
+
+<p class="first">Combine the basic bean patty with a binder of your choosing, and add a
+spice blend. Quantities for the binder and spices here are based on
+one unit of bean patty mixture.</p>
+
+<h3><a name="sec2" id="sec2"></a>
+Basic Bean Patty</h3>
+
+<ul>
+<li>850g black beans cooked (2x425g cans no salt added black beans),
+
+<ul>
+<li>816g after draining</li>
+<li>689g after drying in oven</li>
+</ul></li>
+<li>1-2 tbsp sesame oil (for frying patties)</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>or</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>700g cooked from dry beans</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Makes six to eight patties.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a name="sec3" id="sec3"></a>
+Binder</h3>
+
+<ul>
+<li>1/4 cup vital wheat gluten</li>
+<li>1/2 cup panko flakes</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Mix panko flakes and vital wheat gluten together.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a name="sec4" id="sec4"></a>
+Spices</h3>
+
+<ul>
+<li>2tbsp olive oil (for sauteing onions)</li>
+<li>1/2 large white onion</li>
+<li>2 Serrano peppers</li>
+<li>1 habanero pepper</li>
+<li>1 Sweet bell pepper (red, orange, yellow — doesn't matter)</li>
+<li>8 cloves garlic</li>
+<li>1 tbsp cumin</li>
+<li>1/2 tbsp maras biberi flakes or aleppo pepper flakes</li>
+<li>3/4 tsp dried ground ginger</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>If you want this to be less spicy, either the habanero or Serrano
+peppers can be left out (If I had to choose, I'd drop the Serrano
+peppers as I find a habanero pepper complements the sweet bell pepper
+more, unless you can get ripe Serrano peppers).</p>
+
+
+
+<h2><a name="sec5" id="sec5"></a>
+Directions</h2>
+
+<h3><a name="sec6" id="sec6"></a>
+Prepare Canned Beans</h3>
+
+<p class="first">Stolen from <a href="https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2014/03/the-best-black-bean-burger-recipe.html">Serious Eats</a>, canned black beans should be dehydrated a
+bit.</p>
+
+<ol>
+<li>Preheat oven to 350°F</li>
+<li>Drain beans, discarding liquid. Don't rinse.</li>
+<li>Spread beans on foil lined baking sheet with sides</li>
+<li>Place in oven for ~15 minutes</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>If using beans cooked from dry beans, this can probably be skipped?</p>
+
+
+<h3><a name="sec7" id="sec7"></a>
+Sauteed Herbs and Vegetables</h3>
+
+<ol>
+<li>Dice white onion</li>
+<li>Dice bell pepper</li>
+<li>Mince hot peppers and garlic</li>
+<li>Retain half uncooked of onions/peppers/garlic uncooked. Drain
+while sauteing other half.</li>
+<li>Saute onion, peppers, and garlic with olive oil until onions are
+lightly browned</li>
+<li>Squeeze in paper towel after cooled to drain any excess moisture
+and oil. Do the same for the uncooked vegetables (gently).</li>
+</ol>
+
+
+<h3><a name="sec8" id="sec8"></a>
+Combine!</h3>
+
+<ol>
+<li>Mix dry spices before and beans in bowl <strong>before</strong> mashing (this seems
+to help diffuse the spices more consistently).</li>
+<li>Mash beans to desired consistency in a mixing bowl. Mostly paste
+with some partially mashed beans is good.</li>
+<li>Mix in garlic, peppers, and onions</li>
+<li>Mix in binder</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>Grab a ball of the mixture and form into a patty. It should be almost
+as robust as a murder burger so should be able to handle being
+squished into whatever shape by hand.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a name="sec9" id="sec9"></a>
+Cook</h3>
+
+<ol>
+<li>Pan fry over medium-high heat for ~4 minutes per side (until
+outside is browned and a bit crispy). Cooking spray or oil will be
+needed to keep it from burning. Brushing the burgers with sesame
+oil works well (one side at a time, just before putting into pan
+and just before flipping).</li>
+</ol>
+
+
+
+<h2><a name="sec10" id="sec10"></a>
+TODO</h2>
+
+<p class="first">Increased onion and garlic, not sure if more dry spices are also
+needed.</p>
+
+<p>At least needs more cumin... taste is a bit "empty". Thinking that
+cumin should be doubled. Maybe add some ground pistachios or even a
+bit of tahina as well.</p>

+<p>Of the <em>Sandman</em> spinoffs, <em>Lucifer</em> stands out as the best for

+been. Still, it was worth reading to the end even though most of the
+stories after issue 35 or so were merely ok. If you like Kierkegaard I
+suggest issues 2, 3, and 62—they show the form of the incommensurable
+relation of the single individual to the absolute perfectly.</p>

+
+<p>AMOP is useful as a reference to the CLOS MOP (although less so with
+the online MOP spec), but the true value of the book lies in the first
+half of the book. It presents the design of the CLOS MOP through a
+series of revisions that fix limitations of earlier implementations
+and gradually work toward a generic and well designed MOP for
+CLOS. Through that process one is made more aware of a few general
+object protocol design skills, and gains insight into how to cleanly
+make mapping decisions customizable.</p>

+reflected in every aspect of the work, and the method of presentation
+forces reflection.</p>

+
+<p>I read most of Utopia in high school with the TI-89 ebook reader, but
+the way the book was split up made it a bit difficult to grasp the
+overall structure. I found a copy at a used book store one day, and so
+I read it again, and found it much more comprehensible. It is a quick
+read, and decent piece of literature. The interesting social system
+espoused resembles resembles state communism (even if perhaps as a
+negative ideal), but with an strange blend of 14th century European
+social customs.</p>

+<h2><a name="sec77" id="sec77"></a>
+Friedrich Nietzsche</h2>
+
+<p class="first">A bit acerbic and esoteric, Nietzsche is for me a good <em>secular</em>
+counterpart to Kierkegaard's theistic philosophy. Nietzsche's
+polemical works raise important questions for anyone who reads works
+on ethics. As such it is a shame that he has gotten a bad reputation
+by being read by far too many angsty teenagers who see (and relay)
+only Nietzsche the asshole rather than Nietzsche the master of the
+polemic.</p>

+
+<p>A somewhat more comprehensible, if a bit less aesthetically
+pleasing, presentation of much of the philosophy found in <em>Thus Spoke
+Zarathustra</em> in the negative form. The final chapters are very
+important (not to detract from the value of the rest of the work) if
+one wishes to understand <em>On the Genealogy of Morals</em>.</p>

+
+<p><em>On the Geneaology of Morals</em> is a wonderful book of three
+polemical essays on the origin of moral/ethical valuations, and the
+blindness of modern philosphers whose very thinking is tainted by
+these valuations unknowingly.</p>

+
+<p><em>Ecce Homo</em> is Nietzsche's very strange autobiography and
+explanation of his own works. At points it is clear that it could have
+used a bit more editing (prevented by Nietzsche ... falling into a
+catatonic state and all), but is still a very useful book to read as
+Nietzsche explains the overall structure of his works.</p>

+
+<p>A quotation from one of my <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slaughter_of_the_Soul">favorite metal songs</a> inspired me to grab
+this book; at worst it would be a waste of time. Much reward was found
+in this random stab in the dark. The book is framed as an
+autobiography of the author as a psychoanalyst, and his progression
+through life as a Dice Man after deciding to live his life through
+random chance.</p>
+
+<p>The style, plot, and content are equally neurotic; part comedy, part
+attack on psychoanalysis, and part deep philosophy. It was often

+
+<p>As one must read the <em>Bible</em> to understand English literature, so one
+must read <em>Snow Crash</em> today to be a nerd. In the realm of modern pop
+fiction this is one of the better books I've read; it was devoured in
+a mere four nights. Neal Stepheson may not be Milton, but he does come
+up with enganging tales. <em>Snow Crash</em> has a nice undertone of (quite
+accurate) political and social commentary that makes it worth reading
+as more than mere cyberpunk fiction.</p>

+
+<p>I read <em>Cryptonomicon</em> when it was new, and at the time I thought it was
+good. It could have lost a hundred or so pages without detracting from
+the plot, but it was easy reading and didn't take very long to
+finish. The story was enganging, and the continual switching between
+the 1940s and present day slowly unravelled the tale in a nice way.</p>
+
+<p>I'd still have to recommend <em>Snow Crash</em> if one wished to read only one
+Stephenson novel.</p>

+<p>UNCGreen was having an Earth Day celebration a bit early (to avoid
+conflicts with final exams) on April 19, 2007. I know several people
+who attend UNCG, and I was in Morrisville at the time so I decided to
+tape my handlebars green and make the trek.</p>

+<h2><a name="sec3" id="sec3"></a>
+Return Route</h2>
+
+<p class="first">I based my route on a route from the
+<a href="http://cycling.ahands.org/greensboro-raleigh.html">Greensboro Amtrak to Raleigh Amtrak</a>. I had to reverse it as it was in
+the wrong direction. It should be obvious how to get back to Cary or
+Morrisville; simply hit whatever road in town you need from High House
+Road.</p>
+
+<h3><a name="sec4" id="sec4"></a>
+Alternative</h3>
+
+<p class="first">Instead of turning on Andrew's Store Road, continue on Mann's Chapel
+until it hits US-15/501. If you take the left you will end up
+intersection with NC54 or can go into Chapel Hill. NC54 East can be
+taken all the way back to Raleigh. It isn't <em>that</em> bad to ride on, but
+I'd recommend not doing it after dark unless your bicycle is very
+bright.</p>

+
+<p><a href="http://retes.hu/~mega/git/?p=clon.git;a=summary">Clon</a> is a nice library for scheduling tasks within a Lisp image, but
+it used the SBCL timer extension. I wanted to run something using Clon
+on <a href="http://trac.clozure.com/openmcl">Clozure CL</a> and so I looked at the SBCL source and found that, after
+a bit of fairly straightforward editing, it was possible to write a
+portable version for any compiler supporting <a href="http://common-lisp.net/project/bordeaux-threads/">Bordeaux Threads</a>. The
+SBCL timers internally use <code>sb-unix:setittimer</code>; Rather than using
+<a href="http://common-lisp.net/project/osicat/">Osicat</a> to emulate this I chose to rework the scheduling loop to run in
+a dedicated thread that sleeps on a condition variable with a
+timeout. This seems <em>cleaner</em> to me than using POSIX lib calls, but
+requires a threaded Lisp.</p>
+
+<p><a href="http://releases.unknownlamer.org/trivial-timers/">Releases are available</a> with the usual <a href="http://unknownlamer.org/darcsweb/browse?r=trivial-timers;a=summary">darcs repo</a>. Currently there is a
+native SBCL implementation and a portable implementation relying upon
+<a href="http://common-lisp.net/project/bordeaux-threads/">Bordeaux Threads</a>. Patches to export other Lisp implementations' timer
+interface are welcome.</p>

+
+<p class="first">A fancy little IRC bot that is extensible with Scheme. If you can
+figure out the scripting interface (which is <a href="../code/bobotpp-manual.html#SEC35">partially documented</a>) it

+
+<p>There is now a <a href="http://unknownlamer.org/darcsweb/browse?r=bobot%2B%2B;a=summary">darcs repo</a> available with a few minor changes. I am
+sporadically working to make the internals of the bot fully threadsafe
+so that multithreaded Scheme extensions don't run into issues. I may
+potentially clean up the Scheme interface as well (as it was clearly
+not designed by a Schemer and I was not so well versed in proper style

+Yeast Ranching</h3>
+
+<p class="first">Rather than buy yeast I decided to be hardcore and capture wild yeast
+in a jar. It is actually <a href="http://www.io.com/~sjohn/sour.htm">pretty damn easy</a>. I used the method mentioned
+in the former link, but added a bit of <em>science</em> (or—I've kept a beer
+yeast starter before). I used my giant bottle of Iodophor to sanitize
+the jar in which the yeast were to live (starting with a clean slate;
+I rinsed the jar afterward with tap water and didn't sanitize any
+utensils), made sure the water used for feeding was at about 90°F, and
+fed the starter a tablespoon of dry malt extract (maltose being to
+yeast what fast food is to an American) and a quarter teaspoon of
+lemon juice (just to slightly acidify the initial mix and make the
+yeasties new home a bit more hospitable to only them at first) for the
+first two days. This resulted in a bubbly and happy starter on the
+third day, made interesting bread on the fourth, and was successfully
+cloned for someone else on the fifth!</p>
+
+<p>Just remember to measure the volume of the original mixture and write
+that down so you can easily substitute it into recipes (mine worked
+out to ⅔ cup of starter from ½ cup of flour and water, but flour
+varies in absorbency rabble blah moo etc.).</p>

+Ingredients</h2>
+
+<p class="first">Makes around 1 ¼ quarts</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>2 lbs avocados</li>
+<li>2 limes (juiced)</li>
+<li>1 tsp table salt</li>
+<li>3 small roma tomatoes (diced and juiced drained)
+
+<ul>
+<li>Juliette tomatoes work better, if you have a garden</li>
+</ul></li>
+<li>1/2 medium white onion (diced)</li>
+<li>4 cloves garlic (minced)</li>
+<li>1 habanero (minced)</li>
+<li>2 Serrano peppers (minced)</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>This is pretty spicy; leave out either the habanero or Serrano peppers
+for a lower spice version. Use one Serrano pepper for a mild version,
+or a single jalapeno if you're scared of capsaicin. You want at least
+a little pepper for flavor.</p>
+
+
+<h2><a name="sec2" id="sec2"></a>
+Recipe</h2>
+
+<ol>
+<li>Dissolve the salt into the lime juice</li>
+<li>Cut avocados in half and spoon flesh into mixing bowl</li>
+<li>Mash the avocados, and lime juice and salt mixture</li>
+<li>Add everything else and mix up with a spatula or spoon</li>
+<li>Transfer to storage container and refrigerate for around 30
+minutes</li>
+<li>Eat</li>
+</ol>
+
+
+<h2><a name="sec3" id="sec3"></a>
+Notes</h2>
+
+<p class="first">Don't worry about being <em>too</em> precise here.</p>
+
+<p>I am lazy, and usually quarter and then pulse the tomatoes and onions
+(separately) in a food processor a few times (until the bits are
+evenly sized). When using a food processor for the tomatoes, after
+straining they can be wrapped in paper towels (or clean cheese cloth)
+and squeezed gently to remove some of the liquid (otherwise it
+separates after a night in the fridge — if you're going to use the
+guacamole immediately it's OK to skip squeezing the tomatoes).</p>
+
+<p>Make sure to macerate or <strong>very</strong> finely mince the peppers and garlic (a
+food chopper works great); otherwise some bits will burn like Hell,
+and other will not be hot at all. I like a blend of habanero and
+Serrano; I find the habanero gives an upfront kick that fades quickly,
+with the Serrano slowly warming in the background to support it.</p>
+
+<p>As for the salt you can use a bit more if you'd prefer. I don't like
+my guacamole very salty so I use a single teaspoon of table salt, but
+two isn't necessarily overpowering.</p>
+
+<p>I don't use cilantro because I'm indifferent to it and at least one
+person I know that shares the guacamole actively dislikes it. The lime
+has been increased a bit to make up for it. A few tablespoons of
+freshly chopped Italian flat parsley can be incorporated to add a mild
+herbaceous/bitter note, but trying it both ways I don't feel the need
+to add any nowadays.</p>

+A Warning From the Future</h2>
+
+<p class="first">I made this recipe very, very long ago. I didn't calculate the correct
+amount of vinegar needed to make it shelf stable, so it probably
+isn't. Reader beware.</p>
+
+<p>I'll probably update this in Fall 2020 as I'll have a garden again for
+the first time in a few years, and should be making some hot sauce
+with the hot peppers left at the end of the season.</p>

+<h2><a name="sec7" id="sec7"></a>
+Dear God Why</h2>
+
+<p class="first">The year was 2010. The season was summer. The location a pot garden. A
+bell pepper seedling died a few weeks into the growing season owing to
+being weak or perhaps poorly taken care of. To avoid wasting the soil
+and pot a package of habanero seedlings was procured; one was to be
+planted and the other two given away, but no one came through on their
+offer to adopt the plants. Thus the garden ended up with three
+habanero plants. It is a little known fact that habaneros produce
+ridiculous numbers of peppers, and so something had to be done with
+them after the family grew sick of spicy foods every night.</p>
+
+<h3><a name="sec8" id="sec8"></a>
+A Justification for the Mild Variant</h3>
+
+<p class="first">The initial super hot sauce proved to be tasty for a moment and then
+overwhelmingly hot. Now, don't get me wrong, I like incredibly spicy
+things, but the initial flavor of the sauce was rather nice and it
+seemed a shame to have it destroyed by the habanero. With the
+replacement of some habanero by a sweet pepper the flavors come into
+balance, and the sauce becomes a rather nice adjunct to things like
+chili or black bean burritos.</p>

+<p>Once upon a time I brewed beer. Then I lost access to my roommate's
+kettle owing to moving three hundred miles, and there was much sadness
+for my poor kit lacked all but this very expensive kettle. A new
+kettle has finally fallen into my hands, and so beer may be brewed
+again.</p>
+
+<h2><a name="sec1" id="sec1"></a>
+Current Activity</h2>
+
+<p class="first">I started brewing again with a few friends (makes it much easier to
+actually get around to doing it when you have help). Since multiple
+people are involved we are using <a href="http://wiki.calefaction.org/HomeBrewing">a wiki</a> to collaborate. This poor page
+will probably remain dusty because I can just put things there
+instead.</p>
+
+
+<h2><a name="sec2" id="sec2"></a>
+More Recent Brews</h2>
+
+<p class="first">I decided to at least make a stab at being unlazy and actually linking
+to the files that are stored with the website. I keep a reasonable
+brewing log (probably dry and boring to almost everyone) in the files
+themselves.</p>
+
+<p>I'm only bothering to list recipes that have been brewed and bottled
+here—information on anything in the pipeline is at the <a href="http://wiki.calefaction.org/HomeBrewing">brewing wiki</a>
+since it is liable to change a lot.</p>
+
+<p>Since old trusty <a href="http://www.usermode.org/code.html">QBrew</a> is no longer actively maintained and <a href="http://brewtarget.sourceforge.net/">Brewtarget</a>
+is I've switched over to that. Meaning my newer recipes are in <a href="http://beerxml.com">BeerXML</a>
+that theoretically can be imported into other programs, but may very
+well only work in Brewtarget.</p>
+
+<h3><a name="sec3" id="sec3"></a>
+English IPA</h3>
+
+<p class="first">We had a lot of leftover ingredients after
+<a href="http://pursuing.calefaction.org/2011/11/the-things-i-do-for-love/">Steve's amazing brewing Odyssey</a>, most of them English grains and
+hops. As such I threw together the leftovers into what seemed like it
+would be a good approximation of an English IPA. We even threw this
+onto the yeast cake of the last batch in the wedding brews (an ESB).</p>
+
+<p>Unfortunately, it was a wee bit underwhemling. Since we have a fancy
+temperature controlled fridge now, I decided to brew around 68F (no
+risk of overshooting). It came out slightly musty and generally
+bland... still, for being made from leftovers it's alright.</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li><a href="beer-recipes/8-English%20IPA/english_ipa-8_a.html">Batch A</a> 2011-10-16 (<a href="beer-recipes/8-English%20IPA/english_ipa-8_a.xml">source</a>)</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<h3><a name="sec4" id="sec4"></a>
+Cernunnos (Ginger-Chamomile Wheat Ale)</h3>
+
+<p class="first">Cheap and quick to make, this is ready to drink after a quick
+fermentation and as soon as the bottles carbonate. The chamomile
+really shines here adding a honey-like note; the ginger adds
+additional earthiness and a bit of zing; Sorachi Ace hops finish
+everything up with notes of lemon cream.</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li><a href="beer-recipes/7-Ginger%20Chamomile%20Wheat/ginger_chamomile_wheat-7_a.html">Batch A 2011-05-04</a> (<a href="beer-recipes/7-Ginger%20Chamomile%20Wheat/ginger_chamomile_wheat-7_a.xml">source</a>)</li>
+<li><a href="beer-recipes/7-Ginger%20Chamomile%20Wheat/ginger_chamomile_wheat-7_b.html">Batch B 2011-07-05</a> (<a href="beer-recipes/7-Ginger%20Chamomile%20Wheat/ginger_chamomile_wheat-7_b.xml">source</a>)</li>
+<li><a href="beer-recipes/7-Ginger%20Chamomile%20Wheat/ginger_chamomile_wheat-7_c.html">Batch C 2012-02-18</a> (<a href="beer-recipes/7-Ginger%20Chamomile%20Wheat/ginger_chamomile_wheat-7_c.xml">source</a>)</li>
+<li><a href="beer-recipes/7-Ginger%20Chamomile%20Wheat/ginger_chamomile_wheat-7_d.html">Batch D 2012-02-18</a> (<a href="beer-recipes/7-Ginger%20Chamomile%20Wheat/ginger_chamomile_wheat-7_d.xml">source</a>) - My first ten gallon batch. I lost
+about a gallon, but what can you do.</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<h3><a name="sec5" id="sec5"></a>
+Nowruz (India Pale Ale)</h3>
+
+<p class="first">Perhaps my finest recipe to date. A suggestion to continuously hop was
+heeded and the result was incredible.</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li><a href="beer-recipes/4-India%20Pale%20Ale/india_pale_ale-4_a.html">Batch A</a> 2011-03-20 (<a href="beer-recipes/4-India%20Pale%20Ale/india_pale_ale-4_a.xml">source</a>)</li>
+<li><a href="beer-recipes/4-India%20Pale%20Ale/india_pale_ale-4_b.html">Batch B</a> 2011-06-11 (<a href="beer-recipes/4-India%20Pale%20Ale/india_pale_ale-4_b.xml">source</a>) This adds Centennial and expanded the
+dry hopping a bit — the Centennial was out of place, and the extra
+dry hopping overpowered the fruity notes present in Batch A. But
+the extra bitterness and attenuation definitely improved things.</li>
+<li><a href="beer-recipes/4-India%20Pale%20Ale/india_pale_ale-4_c.html">Batch C</a> 2012-01-11 (<a href="beer-recipes/4-India%20Pale%20Ale/india_pale_ale-4_c.xml">source</a>) Back to the basics, but adding Citra to
+the boil and using Chico Yeast. First impressions are: even better
+than Batch A!</li>
+<li><a href="beer-recipes/4-India%20Pale%20Ale/india_pale_ale-4_d.html">Batch D</a> 2012-05-06 (<a href="beer-recipes/4-India%20Pale%20Ale/india_pale_ale-4_d.xml">source</a>) Ten gallons, half on US ale yeast, half
+on Wyeast <a href="http://www.wyeastlab.com/rw_yeaststrain_detail.cfm?ID=136">Belgian Ardennes</a> yeast. Initial impressions are that the
+Belgian version is amazing: the fruit flavors and phenols from the
+yeast complement the hopping quite nicely.</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<h3><a name="sec6" id="sec6"></a>
+Thoth (Foreign Extra Stout If You Bend a Bit)</h3>
+
+<p class="first">An attempt at experimentation—an adjunct (blackstrap molasses), a
+spice (star anise), and a reused yeast cake (Ringwood from a
+<a href="http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/113/576/">Samuel Smith's Nut Brown Ale</a> clone).</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li><a href="beer-recipes/5-Strong%20Stout/strong_stout-5_a.html">Thoth</a> (<a href="beer-recipes/5-Strong%20Stout/strong_stout-5_a.qbrew">source</a>)</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<h3><a name="sec7" id="sec7"></a>
+Pale Ale</h3>
+
+<p class="first">My first brew, resurrected.</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li><a href="beer-recipes/1-Pale%20Ale/pale_ale-1_c.html">First Time on the New Rig</a> (<a href="beer-recipes/1-Pale%20Ale/pale_ale-1_c.qbrew">source</a>)</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+
+<h2><a name="sec8" id="sec8"></a>
+Cider / Apfelwein / Cyser</h2>
+
+<p class="first">My girlfriend hates carbonation and so, inspired by Edwort's
+Applewine, I started experimenting with batches of cider. I'm keeping
+some notes, but doing it more by "I guess this is the gravity..." than
+with brewing due to the fairly different production
+methods. Eventually I hope to get wine making down a bit better...</p>
+
+<p>Occasionally I dump the text notes from my phone to
+<a href="http://wiki.calefaction.org/ClintonEbadi/Cider">a page on Steve's wiki</a>.</p>
+
+
+<h2><a name="sec9" id="sec9"></a>
+Long Past Brews</h2>
+
+<p class="first">I present to you my poorly annotated <a href="http://www.usermode.org/code.html">QBrew</a> files from my ancient brews
+made in the lands of pleasant living.</p>
+
+<h3><a name="sec10" id="sec10"></a>
+Pale Ale</h3>
+
+<ul>
+<li><a href="beer-recipes/1-Pale%20Ale/pale_ale-1_a.html">First Brew Ever</a> (<a href="beer-recipes/1-Pale%20Ale/pale_ale-1_a.qbrew">source</a>)</li>

+Ingredients</h2>
+
+<ul>
+<li>1 cup dried chick peas (or two cans; if using cans, try to find "no
+salt added" to avoid making things too salty)</li>
+<li>1/4 cup liquid from chick peas (or vegetable stock)</li>
+<li>8 cloves (one head) of <a href="Roasted%20Garlic.html">Roasted Garlic</a></li>
+<li>Medium red bell pepper, roasted</li>
+<li>2 tsp paprika</li>
+<li>1 tsp ground cumin</li>
+<li>1/2 tsp table salt</li>
+<li>5 tbsp (~1 lemon) fresh lemon juice</li>
+<li>2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (if you can get your hands on it,
+<a href="http://www.palestineoliveoil.org/">Holy Land</a> is great)</li>
+<li>5 tbsp tahini</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<h2><a name="sec2" id="sec2"></a>
+Directions</h2>
+
+<h3><a name="sec3" id="sec3"></a>
+Preparing the Beans</h3>
+
+<p class="first">Just soak a cup of dried beans at least overnight in a couple of cups
+of water. Drain them and throw them into a pot with enough water to
+just more than cover them (an extra inch or so seems to be
+good). Bring everything to a boil uncovered, and then cut the heat
+back to simmer partially covered for about an hour or an hour and a
+half (when the skins split easily they have a good texture).</p>
+
+<p>When you drain them save the liquid and use that when blending the
+hummus.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a name="sec4" id="sec4"></a>
+Bell Pepper</h3>
+
+<p class="first">Scorch the skin off of the bell pepper over flame or under a broiler
+(optional — I leave the skins on and notice no difference), and then
+<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130527144021/http://www.ochef.com/158.htm">roast the pepper</a>:</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+<p class="quoted">To roast the pepper, put the cut pieces in a baking dish with a
+little oil and pop it into a 400°F (205°C) oven, until the pieces
+are tender and slightly browned, about 35 minutes.</p>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>Conveniently, this is the same temperature garlic is roasted at, so
+you can roast both at the same time.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a name="sec5" id="sec5"></a>
+And Now for the Actual Hummus</h3>
+
+<ol>
+<li>Prepare the beans (or open canned beans).</li>
+<li>Add beans, roasted garlic, and chickpea water to food processor work
+bowl; process for two minutes.</li>
+<li>Add lemon juice; process for one minute</li>
+<li>Add tahini, roasted bell pepper, salt, cumin, and paprika; process
+for one minute.</li>
+<li>Drizzle olive oil in while processing for three minutes.</li>
+<li>Garnish if you desire (minced garlic, capers, coarsely ground
+black pepper, and olive oil for example).</li>
+<li>Take to a gathering of some sort.</li>
+<li>Watch the hummus evaporate.</li>
+</ol>
+
+
+
+<h2><a name="sec6" id="sec6"></a>
+Notes</h2>
+
+<p class="first">One time I decided to make hummus for folks and alas! I forgot to soak
+beans the night before. My strange friend came to the rescue with the
+equivalent amount of home prepared white beans and it was a good
+substitute (slightly different flavor, but the spices here really
+dominate). I used water from boiling dried tomatoes (slightly
+different recipe) as there was no fresh chickpea water on hand and it
+was delightful.</p>
+
+<p>I've used cheap blenders, decent food processors, and a
+super-expensive blender to make this. It comes out adequately with
+most any equipment. You can just blend everything together at a
+moderate speed until the consistency is whatever you consider
+reasonably smooth, but processing in steps with a good food processor
+results in a slightly better texture.</p>
+
+<p>I've done this with and without removing the skins, and I personally
+don't think it's worth the effort to remove the skins.</p>

+Lust</h2>
+
+<p class="first">Once upon a time I went to see <a href="http://eluveitie.ch/">Eluveitie</a> on a little tour called
+<a href="http://www.paganfest.net/info.php?lang=usa">Paganfest</a>. The bassist and piper of Eluveitie were wearing kilts and
+they looked mighty fine and metal; thus began my lust for a kilt of my
+very own.</p>
+
+
+<h2><a name="sec2" id="sec2"></a>
+Goodbye Money</h2>
+
+<p class="first">A few months later I decided to purchase a <a href="http://www.utilikilts.com/index.php?page_id=30">Workman's</a> <a href="http://utilikilts.com">Utilikilt</a> as it
+appeared to be the most practical kilt for every day wearing. After
+much fretting about sizing and ordering such an expensive piece of
+nonreturnable clothing I finally ordered one in August 2008 and had it
+in my hands the first week of September. Luckily, it fit.</p>
+
+<table class="image" width="100%">
+ <tr><td align="center"><img src="img/photos/kilt/package.jpg" alt="One day an unassuming package arrived in the mail" /></td></tr>
+ <tr><td align="center" class="image-caption">One day an unassuming package arrived in the mail</td></tr>
+</table>
+
+
+<table class="image" width="100%">
+ <tr><td align="center"><img src="img/photos/kilt/unpacked-folded.jpg" alt="Such a lovely unbifurcated garment" /></td></tr>
+ <tr><td align="center" class="image-caption">Such a lovely unbifurcated garment</td></tr>
+</table>
+
+<p>The kilt is made of very heavy canvas (it weighs about four pounds)
+and was of quite good construction. I'd say it was worth the pretty
+penny I spent for it.</p>
+
+<table class="image" width="100%">
+ <tr><td align="center"><img src="img/photos/kilt/unpacked-spread.jpg" alt="Why it appears to be a skirt of some sort" /></td></tr>
+ <tr><td align="center" class="image-caption">Why it appears to be a skirt of some sort</td></tr>
+</table>
+
+<p>After unpacking and gazing upon the glory of the kilt I donned it upon
+my waist and decided that I should never wear pants again. Everything
+they say is true: the pockets really can fit a six pack of beer, it is
+quite comfortable, it doesn't look dumb (ok, perhaps that is
+subjective), and it <em>is</em> handy to have my tools on my kilt when working
+on my <a href="My%20Bicycle.html">bicycle</a>.</p>
+
+
+<h2><a name="sec3" id="sec3"></a>
+STEEL</h2>
+
+<table class="image" width="100%">
+ <tr><td align="center"><img src="img/photos/kilt/eluveitie.jpg" alt="I am quite the dashing young lad" /></td></tr>
+ <tr><td align="center" class="image-caption">I am quite the dashing young lad</td></tr>
+</table>
+
+<p>I first wore the kilt in public about an hour after getting it, and I
+must say that I find it amusing that people would fret about wearing a
+kilt outside of their house. I now have a new problem: I want more
+kilts so that I no longer have to wear pants.</p>

+<p>I am a programmer, and I write most of my software in Scheme and
+Common Lisp. Lately I have been tending toward Common Lisp for
+potential commercial ventures as there is a very solid set of
+libraries for doing almost anything in Common Lisp. It's like using
+perl, but with well designed libraries and readable applications.</p>

+source is nicely documented, but lacked a handy roadmap so I compiled
+a few notes after reading through it.</p>
+
+<p>Alas, this is a bit out of date; <code>ucw_dev</code> is dead, <code>ucw_ajax</code> was vastly
+different, and <code>ucw-core</code> offers a much simplified and cleaned up
+interface. Drew Crampsie is writing (or perhaps has written depending
+on how far in the future you live from me) documentation for <code>ucw-core</code>
+which ought to make my overview obsolete.</p>

+

+<h2><a name="sec3" id="sec3"></a>
+Notes</h2>
+
+<p class="first">I like to grate my vegetables; this results in a bit of a different
+texture as the water and pulp from the grated vegetables mixes with
+the Yogurt. If you dice the vegetables instead the texture is a bit
+more yogurty, <strong>and</strong> you need to refrigerate it for a bit longer before
+eating. Make it both ways and see; it only takes ten minutes to throw
+together a batch.</p>
+
+<p>A good yogurt with cream makes for a very nice base texture.</p>

+skittish tiny kitten and hid behind the fridge for days eluding
+capture. Thus my mother bestowed the quite American name <em>Maytag</em> upon
+the tiny gray kitten.</p>
+
+<p>Eventually my mother accepted that her dog and the kitten would never
+get along, and the cat had taken a liking to me, and thus Maytag
+became my ward.</p>

+<p>In Fall of 2006 I did a small project on Metaobject Protocols for my
+CS 331 class. Here lie my notes which may perhaps be useful to
+others. I hope to expand them into something more useful over time.</p>
+
+<h2><a name="sec1" id="sec1"></a>
+Background</h2>
+
+<h3><a name="sec2" id="sec2"></a>
+Object Protocols</h3>
+
+<p class="first">An object protocol is a set of methods and specification of the
+interactions between the methods which provide some generic behavior
+(e.g. of a sequence) that are then implemented by classes which
+conform to the protocol (e.g. a vector or list). In most object
+systems a class contains both the methods which implement a protocol
+and the data used by the implementation. The intent is to emulate
+state machines which pass messages between each other.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a name="sec3" id="sec3"></a>
+CLOS Way of OO</h3>
+
+<p class="first">The Common Lisp Object System (CLOS) is different. It separates
+the data and method concepts into classes and generics. A class
+contains data fields only, and a generic has methods specialized for
+certain types attached to it. This seems a bit weird at first, but is
+significantly more powerful as it encourages complete encapsulation
+through its use of classes primarily for method specialization rather
+than for state storage.</p>
+
+<h4><a name="sec4" id="sec4"></a>
+Classes for Scratch Data and Types</h4>
+
+<p class="first">In CLOS classes store data in slots (which are the same as data
+members). Encapsulation is not provided; any bit of code can use
+<code>slot-value</code> to access or set the value of a slot. This may seem odd at
+first, but encapsulation is of questionable importance as the slots
+are meant only to be used by the protocol defined around the class.</p>
+
+<p>Classes are defined with <code>defclass</code></p>
+
+<pre class="src">
+(<span class="emacs-face-keyword">defclass</span> <span class="emacs-face-type">name</span> (superclasses ...)
+ ((slot-name <span class="emacs-face-builtin">:accessor</span> slot-accessor ...)
+ ...)
+ (class-options ...))
+
+(<span class="emacs-face-keyword">defclass</span> <span class="emacs-face-type">example</span> ()
+ ((foo <span class="emacs-face-builtin">:accessor</span> foo-of <span class="emacs-face-builtin">:initform</span> 5)))
+
+(<span class="emacs-face-keyword">defclass</span> <span class="emacs-face-type">example-child</span> (example)
+ ((bar <span class="emacs-face-builtin">:accessor</span> bar-of <span class="emacs-face-builtin">:initform</span> (list 1 2 3))))
+</pre>
+
+<p>Slot definitions have several options; the above example shows only the
+<code>:accessor</code> and <code>:initform</code> options which are the most commonly
+used. <code>:accessor</code> generates an accessor for the slot (e.g. if you have
+an instance of <code>example</code> you can <code>(setf (foo-of some-example-instance)
+'some-value)</code> to set and <code>(foo-of some-example-instance)</code> to access the
+value). <code>:initform</code> provides a default initial value for the slot as a
+symbolic expression to be evaluated when an instance is created in the
+lexical environment of the class definition.</p>
+
+
+<h4><a name="sec5" id="sec5"></a>
+Generics with Methods that Implement Protocols</h4>
+
+<p class="first">Generics are like normal functions in Lisp, but they only provide a
+lambda list (parameter list). Methods are added to the generic which
+specialize on the types of their parameters and provide an
+implementation. This allows writing rich layered protocols which can
+enable selective modification of individual facets with minimal code.</p>
+
+<pre class="src">
+(<span class="emacs-face-keyword">defgeneric</span> <span class="emacs-face-function-name">generic</span> (parameters ...)
+ (options) ...)
+
+(<span class="emacs-face-keyword">defmethod</span> <span class="emacs-face-function-name">generic-name</span> ((parameter type) parameter ...)
+ <span class="emacs-face-doc">"documentation string"</span>
+ body)
+
+(<span class="emacs-face-keyword">defgeneric</span> <span class="emacs-face-function-name">foo</span> (bar baz quux)
+ (<span class="emacs-face-builtin">:documentation</span> <span class="emacs-face-doc">"Process the baz with the quux capacitor to make the
+foo widget fly into the sky at warp speed"</span>))
+
+(<span class="emacs-face-keyword">defmethod</span> <span class="emacs-face-function-name">foo</span> ((bar example) baz (quux capacitor))
+ (launch bar (process-with quux baz)))
+</pre>
+
+<p>A method lambda list differs from a normal lambda list only in that it
+can specify the type of the parameter using the notation <code>(name type)</code>.
+Note also that methods can specialize on the types of every
+argument and not just the first one. This is quite powerful for
+reasons outside of the scope of this presentation.</p>
+
+
+
+
+<h2><a name="sec6" id="sec6"></a>
+Limitations of Default Language Behavior</h2>
+
+<p class="first">The behavior of a language is a compromise between many competing
+issues that attempts to be as generally useful as possible so that
+<em>most</em> applications will have no issue with the default behavior. There
+are, however, certain applications that could be cleanly written with
+minor modifications to the behavior of the language, but would be
+impossible or quite difficult to write otherwise.</p>
+
+<h3><a name="sec7" id="sec7"></a>
+Slot Storage</h3>
+
+<p class="first">Most languages choose to preallocate storage for all of the slots of
+an instance. Now imagine a contact database that stores information
+about people in slots of a class. There may be dozens of slots, but
+often many of them will be left blank. If slot storage is preallocated
+much memory will be wasted and the database may not be able to fit
+into the memory of the hardware it must run on (perhaps for financial
+reasons, huge datasets, etc.).</p>
+
+<p>To save memory the author of the contact database must implement his
+own system to store properties and allocate them lazily. This
+represents a fair bit of effort, and would implement a system that
+differed from the existing slot system of classes only regarding slot
+storage.</p>
+
+<p>It would be useful if there were a way to customize slot allocation in
+instances. The customizations would be minor and require overriding
+only the initial allocation behavior and the behavior of the first
+assignment to the slot. It is a a trivial problem in a language that
+allows customization of these behaviors.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a name="sec8" id="sec8"></a>
+Design Patterns</h3>
+
+<p class="first">Design Patterns are generalized versions of common patterns found in
+programs. Many of them are merely methods to get around deficiencies
+in the language, and can be quite messy to implement in some
+languages. Ideally a pattern would be subsumed by the language, but
+real world constraints require language standards to remain fairly
+static.</p>
+
+
+
+<h2><a name="sec9" id="sec9"></a>
+Metasoftware</h2>
+
+<p class="first">Some types of programs could be written easily if the language were
+customizable but are nearly impossible to write when it is not.</p>
+
+<h3><a name="sec10" id="sec10"></a>
+Runtime Generated Classes</h3>
+
+<p class="first">Say you wanted to write a video game where players could create their
+own objects, attach behaviors to the objects, and perhaps mix
+different objects together to create new ones. When you abstract the
+problem this looks just like an object system! Wouldn't it be nice if
+your program could create new classes and methods on the fly portably?</p>
+
+
+<h3><a name="sec11" id="sec11"></a>
+Object Inspection</h3>
+
+<p class="first">Imagine you were developing a complicated program with many different
+objects that interacted in fairly complex ways. A tool to inspect the
+structure of objects while debugging would be quite useful, but in a
+traditional language would be impossible to implement portably. This
+could force you to purchase a certain compiler implementation which
+provided an inspector, and even then would likely not be customizable.</p>
+
+<p>This problem can be generalized to apply to most debugging tools; it
+would be useful to write such tools portably because users of the
+<em>language</em> and not the <em>compiler</em> need to debug software. Sharing
+infrastructure would result in better tools (more developers), and
+save the man-years of wasted effort that comes with having to rewrite
+unportable tools from scratch multiple times.</p>
+
+
+
+<h2><a name="sec12" id="sec12"></a>
+Metaobject Protocols</h2>
+
+<h3><a name="sec13" id="sec13"></a>
+Limited/Generalized Internals of the Implementation</h3>
+
+<p class="first">A Metaobject Protocol (MOP) is a generalized and limited subset of the
+underlying language implementation. It is limited to allow multiple
+implementation strategies; this, along with careful design, is
+essential because programming language research is ever advancing and
+new techniques for creating more reliable and faster implementations
+are still being discovered.</p>
+
+<p>This subset of the implementation is exported as a set of methods on
+metaobjects. Thus the language is implemented in itself. The system
+can then be customized using the extension and overriding features of
+the language itself.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a name="sec14" id="sec14"></a>
+Classes of MOPs</h3>
+
+<h4><a name="sec15" id="sec15"></a>
+Reflective</h4>
+
+<p class="first">A reflective MOP provides an interface to information <em>about</em> the
+running system. It exposes class relationships, the methods attached
+to a generic, etc. A reflective MOP often provides some functionality
+for creating new classes at runtime. Smalltalk was one of the first
+languages to expose a reflective MOP.</p>
+
+<h5>Example: Object Inspector</h5>
+
+<pre class="src">
+(<span class="emacs-face-keyword">defgeneric</span> <span class="emacs-face-function-name">example-inspect</span> (instance)
+ (<span class="emacs-face-builtin">:documentation</span> <span class="emacs-face-doc">"Simple object inspector using CLOS MOP"</span>))

+(<span class="emacs-face-keyword">defmethod</span> <span class="emacs-face-function-name">example-inspect</span> ((instance t))

+ (format t <span class="emacs-face-string">"Class: ~S, Superclasses: ~S~%"</span>
+ (class-name class)
+ (mapcar #'class-name
+ (class-precedence-list class)))
+ (<span class="emacs-face-keyword">let</span> ((slot-names (mapcar #'slot-definition-name
+ (class-slots class))))
+ (format t <span class="emacs-face-string">"Slots: ~%~{ ~S~%~}"</span> slot-names)
+ (inspect-loop slot-names instance #'example-inspect))))
+
+(<span class="emacs-face-keyword">defun</span> <span class="emacs-face-function-name">inspect-loop</span> (slots instance inspector)
+ (format t <span class="emacs-face-string">"Enter slot to inspect or :pop to go up one level: "</span>)
+ (finish-output)
+ (<span class="emacs-face-keyword">let*</span> ((slot (read))
+ (found-slot (member slot slots)))
+ (<span class="emacs-face-keyword">cond</span> (found-slot
+ (funcall inspector (slot-value instance slot))
+ (funcall inspector instance))
+ ((eq slot <span class="emacs-face-builtin">:pop</span>) t)
+ (t
+ (format t <span class="emacs-face-string">"~S is invalid. Valid slot names: ~S~%"</span>
+ slot
+ slots)
+ (inspect-loop slots instance inspector)))))
+</pre>
+
+
+<h5>Example: Runtime Generated Classes and Methods</h5>
+
+
+
+<h4><a name="sec16" id="sec16"></a>
+Intercessory</h4>
+
+<p class="first">Intercessory MOPs allow the user to customize language behavior by
+implementing methods which override certain aspects of the language
+behavior. This class of MOPs are what make MOPs especially
+powerful. No longer must a problem be restructured to fit the
+implementation language; the underlying language can be reshaped to
+fit the task at hand, and obfuscation of the intended structure of the
+application can be avoided.</p>
+
+<h5>Example: Lazily Allocated Slots</h5>
+
+
+<h5>Example: Observer Design Pattern</h5>
+
+<p>A simple implementation of the observer pattern is under 100 lines,
+and the user level code requires only a single line of code to make
+any existing class observable.</p>
+
+<p>In a language lacking a MOP, implementing the observer pattern
+requires modifying every accessor of a class to explicitly invoke any
+observers, and necessitates the addition of a mixin class to the class
+hierarchy. The fact that an object can be observed is a meta property
+of the class, and forcing it to be implemented at the application
+level dirties the inheritance hierarchy and adds unnecessary meta
+details to the program.</p>

+<h3><a name="sec17" id="sec17"></a>
+Violation of Encapsulation?</h3>
+
+<p class="first">A MOP may seem like a violation of encapsulation by revealing some
+implementation details, but in reality a well designed protocol does
+not reveal anything which was not already exposed. Implementation
+decisions affect users, and some of these details do leak through to
+higher levels (e.g. the memory layout of slots). Implicit in the
+protocol specification are these implementation details, and the MOP
+merely makes this limited subset available for customization.</p>
+
+<p>A MOP makes it possible to customize certain implementation decisions
+that do not <strong>radically</strong> alter the behavior of the base language. The
+conceptual vocabulary of the system retains its meaning, and so code
+written in one dialect can interact with code written in another
+without knowing that they speak different ones.</p>
+
+
+
+<h2><a name="sec18" id="sec18"></a>
+MOP Design Principles</h2>
+
+<h3><a name="sec19" id="sec19"></a>
+Layered Protocol</h3>
+
+<p class="first">A layered protocol design is good for both meta and normal object
+protocols, and enables a combinatorial explosion of customizations to
+the protocol.</p>
+
+<h4><a name="sec20" id="sec20"></a>
+Top Level <strong>Must</strong> Call Lower Level Methods</h4>
+
+<p class="first">The top level methods of a layered protocol are required to call
+certain lower level methods to perform some tasks. This both makes it
+easier to customize the top level methods (which perform very broad
+tasks) by providing some pieces of implementation for the programmer,
+and enables more customization by opening up the replacement of lower
+level functions as a way to alter a small detail of the high level
+behavior.</p>
+
+
+<h4><a name="sec21" id="sec21"></a>
+Lower Level Methods are Easier to Customize</h4>
+
+<p class="first">The lower level methods of a MOP are limited in scope and can be
+implemented easily. Often the desired changes to language behavior are
+minor, and having methods that perform simple tasks which are often
+customized reduces the effort required to extend the system.</p>
+
+
+
+<h3><a name="sec22" id="sec22"></a>
+Functional Where Possible</h3>
+
+<p class="first">Functional protocols are preferred for MOPs (and object protocols in
+general). Functional protocols open up several optimizations for the
+implementation without burdening the user of the protocol.</p>
+
+<h4><a name="sec23" id="sec23"></a>
+Memoization</h4>
+
+<p class="first">Memoization is the process of saving the results of a function call
+for future use. This avoids expensive recomputation of values which
+have not changed (recall that a true function will always return the
+same result when given the same arguments).</p>
+
+<p>A functional MOP can be optimized easily by exploiting this property
+to memoize the return values of calls to expensive operations. A MOP
+must be be very fast to avoid making programs unusably slow, and
+memoization is able to give an appreciable speedup in many cases
+without a significant burden on memory usage.</p>
+
+
+<h4><a name="sec24" id="sec24"></a>
+Constant Shared Return Values</h4>
+
+<p class="first">Disallowing modification of values returned by protocol methods allows
+the implementation to return large data structures by reference to
+avoid expensive copying without having to do expensive data integrity
+checks or copying.</p>
+
+
+
+<h3><a name="sec25" id="sec25"></a>
+Procedural Only Where Necessary</h3>
+
+<p class="first">Some operations like method invocation are inherently stateful and so
+must use a procedural protocol. There is no benefit to be gained from
+using a functional protocol, and indeed an attempt would result in
+obtuse code that severely restricted the implementation. Do note that
+only a very small part of method invocation is stateful (the actual
+call), and most of it can be implemented functionally (e.g. computing
+the discriminating function).</p>
+

+Real World</h3>

+<a href="http://common-lisp.net/project/ucw/">UCW</a> and <a href="http://common-lisp.net/project/bese/arnesi.html">Arnesi</a></h4>
+
+<p class="first">Arnesi uses the CLOS MOP to implement methods which are transparently
+rewritten into continuation passing style. This allows their execution
+to be suspended at certain points and resumed later. UCW builds on top
+of this to support a web framework where the statelessness of http is
+hidden from the user; displaying a page suspends the execution of the
+current continuation, and resumes it upon submission. The user level
+code is completely unaware of this.</p>
+
+
+<h4><a name="sec28" id="sec28"></a>
+<a href="http://clsql.b9.com">CLSQL</a></h4>
+
+<p class="first">CLSQL uses the reflective part of the CLOS MOP to map Common Lisp data
+types into SQL types, and the intercessory protocol for slot
+allocation to map slots onto database columns or sql expressions (for
+implementing relational slots).</p>
+
+
+<h4><a name="sec29" id="sec29"></a>
+<a href="http://common-lisp.net/project/elephant/">Elephant</a></h4>
+
+<p class="first">Elephant uses the CLOS MOP to transparently store any class to disk
+and handle paging between the disk store and memory efficiently
+without user intervention.</p>

+
+<h2><a name="sec1" id="sec1"></a>
+The Bands I Like the Most</h2>
+
+<h3><a name="sec2" id="sec2"></a>
+Skyclad</h3>
+
+<p class="first">Skyclad is incredible folk metal. The first two albums (<em>Wayward Sons
+of Mother Earth</em> and <em>Burnt Offerings for the Bone Idol</em>) are Testament
+style thrash with a bit of fiddle and keys and a heavy dose of
+NWOBHM. The third album, <em>Jonah's Ark</em>, blunts the edge of the guitars
+and adds a lot more fiddle and is really where the band goes from
+making good to incredible music.</p>
+
+<p><em>Prince of the Poverty Line</em> is about as 'heavy' as the first two
+albums, but the the song structures are far more worked out and there
+is an interesting infusion of folk and power metal into the sound. The
+songs are mostly scathing social critiques of the state of society at
+the time. The follow up, <em>Silent Whales of Lunar Sea</em>, is a decent album
+but is scarred by terrible recording quality and mixing. It has
+listenable songs (with "The Present Imperfect" and "Another Fine Mess"
+standing out), and the only really noteable aspect is the slight
+change toward a much less thrashy riff structure.</p>
+
+<p><em>Irrational Anthems</em> more than made up for <em>Silent Whales of Lunar
+Sea</em>. The less thrashy and slightly more punkish riffing structure
+takes over here and the songs are all fast paced with guitar and
+fiddle duels taking place often</p>
+
+<p>The next two albums see the electric guitar deemphasized and the band
+making something more like heavy rock than heavy metal. The EP <em>Oui
+Avante Garde a Chance</em> starts out with a fast paced fiddle oriented
+song, moves into a nearly entirely fiddle and acoustic guitar song,
+and then goes into a few slow songs dominated by keys and fiddle. The
+albums picks up in intensity with <em>Bombjour</em>, and then has an acoustic
+version of a song from the previous album. The new material ends with
+the slow and intense <em>Badtime Story</em>. A couple of covers and an
+instrumental version of a song follow to pad the EP to album length.</p>
+
+<p><em>The Answer Machine?</em> was once my favorite album in my entire
+collection. Most of the songs have a fuzzy electric guitar and an
+acoustic guitar going at the same time, and the album is music that I
+have found is listenable to people who don't like metal. The fiddle,
+violin, and piano dominate and are backed by interesting bass and just
+the right amount of guitar. The album is a pseudo-concept album; each
+song is about a different quest for the answer to life. Unfortunately,
+here is also where the influence of their producer can start to be
+felt—a lot of things seem to be done for the sake of <em>sensibility</em>.</p>
+
+<p>The last two Skyclad albums with Martin Walkyier (the original singer)
+see a two step return to a more metal style, but this time something
+resembling <em>Powerslave</em> era Maiden with heavy folk overtones rather than
+Testament. Both albums are fairly strong, and have a few songs that
+are among the best Skyclad has ever done: "Cancer of the Heart" and
+"Vintage Whine" on <em>Vintage Whine</em>, and "The Antibody Politic," "The
+Disenchanted Forest," and "Think Back and Lie of England" on <em>Folkémon</em>.</p>
+
+<p>Alas, after <em>Folkémon</em> Martin left, and the band seems to have lost its
+magic. It is much like At the Gates; the core members meshed quite
+well together and lost some magical chemistry upon a major component
+leaving. Skyclad's first album with the new singer was ok, and the
+followup was a bit better. Unfortunately Kevin Ridley appears unable
+to sing aggressively.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a name="sec3" id="sec3"></a>
+Kevin Moore</h3>
+
+<p class="first">Kevin Moore is the first keyboardist of Dream Theater who left after
+<em>Awake</em>. His work since then has surpassed the quality of everything
+Dream Theater has produced since then for he posesses a unique
+songwriting style and wonderful artistic ability.</p>
+
+<h4><a name="sec4" id="sec4"></a>
+Chroma Key</h4>
+
+<p class="first">Chroma Key is (was?) Kevin Moore's primary project. It is mostly
+electronic and fairly mellow. Secretly I like it (don't tell anyone I
+listen to anything not metal).</p>
+
+
+<h4><a name="sec5" id="sec5"></a>
+OSI</h4>
+
+<p class="first">OSI was originally a collaboration between Kevin Moore, Jim Matheos
+(guitarist of Fates Warning), Mike Portnoy (drummer of Dream Theater),
+and a few other prog rock/metal people. The first album, <em>Office of
+Strategic Influence</em> was a moderately heavy and good album that sounded
+quite similar to <em>Disconnected</em> Fates Warning with Kevin Moore on vocals
+and complicated drumming.</p>
+
+<p><em>Free</em> followed three years later and is completely different from the
+first. This time the album was done with Kevin Moore and Jim Matheos
+alone, and it finds a much nicer balance between keyboard and
+guitar. The first OSI sounded too much like Fates Warning with more
+ambient keyboarding; this one has a sound of its own. My ears have
+heard this album many times, and will listen again many more.</p>
+
+<p>I'm not really digging <em>Blood</em> that much, but it's not bad.</p>

+The Death of the Internal Combustion Engine</h2>
+
+<p class="first">In May 2006 and Camaro decided it was time to die and cost more than
+it was worth to repair (although in reality it cost more to repair
+than it was worth the first time it broke, but hindsight...). I
+travelled by foot for the remainder of the summer.</p>
+
+
+<h2><a name="sec2" id="sec2"></a>
+The Birth of the Organic Oxidization Engine</h2>
+
+<p class="first">In August I decided that I should get a bicycle as my <a href="http://umbc.edu">university</a> took
+about an hour to walk to on roads which did not have a terribly good
+sidewalk. What was initially meant merely to get me to school in a
+reasonable amount of time has now become a new love.</p>

+<h2><a name="sec3" id="sec3"></a>
+A Kind Emacsing Friend</h2>
+
+<p><a href="http://emacsen.net">Emacsen</a> gave me his Spring 2003 Giant Iguana which was hardly ridden
+and merely needed a tiny bit of tuning to get riding again. Soon after
+getting it I added a rear rack with panniers, a tail light, and a
+cheap headlight (which, alas, was smashed to bits in a small crash).</p>
+
+<p>I rode the bike with its knobby and wide mountain bike tires for a
+month as I built strength. There are many hills in Catonsville, and so
+for the first few weeks lazy nerd me was defeated by the terrain. A
+mere two months after starting to ride, however, I achieved a level of
+strength I never thought I would. I could ride thirty miles in a day
+and <em>not feel it the next day</em>! A few months after that, even with a
+long interlude of no riding due to a broken bone, I found myself able
+ride seventy miles with a few thousand feet of elevation change.</p>
+
+
+<h2><a name="sec4" id="sec4"></a>
+Metamorphosis</h2>
+
+<p class="first">In late September I replaced the mountain bike tires with 26x1.75
+<a href="http://www.conti-online.com/generator/www/de/en/continental/bicycle/themes/tires/city/travelcontact/travelcontact_en.html">road tires</a> which nearly doubled my range, and improved the handling of
+the bike on pavement considerably. I chose 1.75 over 1.50 tires
+because I tend to ride with a fairly heavy load (textbooks and other
+type things), and enjoy the freedom of being able to go off road and
+not sink into the ground or get trapped in the grass.</p>
+
+<p>I <a href="http://unknown-lamer.livejournal.com/160217.html">fell</a> in October and bent my straight handlebar. I needed a new
+handlebar so I found a trekking style handlebar on the internet that
+gave me additional spots to put my handle, allowed for a slightly
+lowered position while riding, and was the same diameter as the
+straight bar so I could keep the shifter/brake combo (it being a bit
+expensive to replace). It now has cork tape covered in cloth tape (I'm
+hoping the cloth tape will take the brunt of the wear and I can extend
+the life of the expensive cork tape). I plan to try using heat shrink
+tubing to cover the ends of the tape in place soon (if it works it
+should look neater than duct tape).</p>

+Portable Sun</h3>
+
+<p class="first">As the end of October 2006 arrived the days became shorter, but my
+desire to explore the world increased. This presented a bit of a
+problem, and so I spent time scouring the Wise Internet for
+information on headlights. After much futile poking around I settled
+on a <a href="http://www.cygolite.com/2-Products/1-DualCross300.htm">Cygolite DualCross 300</a> and was given one as a birthday gift. It
+is as bright as a single car headlight on the top setting and the
+batteries do actually last as long as the website says. I've ridden
+with it in the rain many times, and it even survived a nasty spill
+that broke my collarbone and bent my front rim.</p>
+
+<p>As of March 2008 the light still lasts a good three hours on full
+bright. This is with me using it at least once a week, and very often
+two or three times a week for extended rides (generally draining the
+battery entirely once a week) since late 2006 (excepting that winter
+because of my broken collarbone). I feared for a while that the
+battery strap was going to wear out and break, but it has yet to show
+signs of wear. All in all an <strong>excellent</strong> investment! This thing can
+handle heavy use and rain and all sorts of nasty stuff.</p>

+<p>The nicest part of the light is that it does seem to get its rated
+life of about four hours on the brightest setting. I'm not sure if it
+really gets nine hours on the dim setting as I've never ridden at the
+lowest setting for an extended period of time (I use it as dusk is
+setting in to make myself visible, and then increase to full
+brightness when night falls). It is about as bright as a single car
+headlight; an entire standard width car lane is illuminated with the
+light set to hit the ground about eight feet from the bike. I find
+this adequate to cycle around full speed at night.</p>

+Copyright Is Bad for Society</h3>
+
+<p class="first">Copyright is a tool used to placate publishers who feel that they will
+make no money if things can be freely copied. Publishers, however,
+contribute <strong>nothing</strong> of worth to our culture; they are mere middlemen
+who print the creative work of others, and so their pleas should be
+ignored.</p>
+
+<p>A short copyright term is acceptable, and worked in most of the world
+for a few hundred years. As it stands now we have perpetual copyrights
+(as in the Old World), and the cultural stagnation that affected
+Europe then is now occurring today in most of the world. There are
+many books published between 1917 and a few years ago that I would
+love to read, but am unable to because they have not been printed (for
+older books often in as long as 40 or 50 years). The albums of a few
+bands I like are out of print now and I will be long dead before I get
+a chance to purchase them (<em>if</em> copyright is not extended again, which
+experience tells me will happen soon) because the record labels have
+no interest in returning the masters to the band!</p>
+
+<p>What point is there to allowing copyright to exist on works which are
+not being published? If their terms had expired there is a chance that
+they would be being published by public domain publishing houses who
+subsist on smaller margins. This would <a href="http://www.ippr.org/publicationsandreports/publication.asp?id=482">create real economic value</a>, and
+more importantly great <strong>social</strong> value. Allowing art to rot is a
+disrespect to human creativity and an immeasurable loss for all future
+humans.</p>
+
+<p>I predict that in two or three hundred years there will be nearly no
+record of any literature or art produced in the twentieth century. As
+it stands today we have lost most of it with the exception of a few
+trashy works which have become popular to the masses.</p>

+
+<h2><a name="sec1" id="sec1"></a>
+Ingredients</h2>
+
+<ul>
+<li>~1/3 cup unpitted black olives (oil cured or fresh! Do not use
+canned olives)</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<h2><a name="sec2" id="sec2"></a>
+Directions</h2>
+
+<ol>
+<li>Unpit and dice olives</li>
+<li>Mix up the dry ingredients as in the <a href="Pita.html">Pita</a> recipe</li>
+<li>Blend the olives in with the wet ingredients</li>
+<li>Resume the normal <a href="Pita.html">Pita</a> recipe</li>
+</ol>
+
+
+<h2><a name="sec3" id="sec3"></a>
+Notes</h2>
+
+<p class="first">The first time I made this a few friends said there should be more
+olives, and so the second time I made this I tried using a half cup of
+olives instead of a quarter cup. This was a horrible mistake because
+olives are very salty; more than a third of a cup is a bit much for my
+taste.</p>
+
+<p>I highly recommend using <a href="http://palestineoliveoil.com">Holy Land Olive Oil</a> in the bread (but cheap
+stuff works to coat the rising bowl, naturally), or some other very
+high quality olive oil. If you can buy it at a supermarket in the US
+(even somewhere faux-fancy like Whole Foods) then it isn't high
+quality. A proper olive oil imparts a delicious olive flavor
+throughout the bread with the occasional chunk of olive enhancing the
+flavor. I made a batch with grocery-store-expensive olive oil once and
+it was very bland comparatively. It is amazing how two tablespoons
+(ostensibly thrown in to control the yeast) of properly made olive oil
+can impart such a nice flavor.</p>

+Ingredients</h2>
+
+<ul>
+<li>1 1/2 cups white wheat flour</li>
+<li>1 1/2 cups red or spring wheat flour</li>
+<li>1 tsp salt</li>
+<li>1 tbsp honey</li>

+<li>1 1/2 cups water</li>

+<h2><a name="sec2" id="sec2"></a>
+Directions</h2>
+
+<h3><a name="sec3" id="sec3"></a>
+Yeast Starter</h3>
+
+<p class="first">If you are using a sourdough starter make a sponge containing one cup
+of water and 1 1/4 cups flour (including the stuff in the bit of the
+mother you used). Rising times will, as per usual, be variable.</p>
+
+<p>If you use commercial yeast subtract the amount of water you use when
+proofing the yeast from the water used in the recipe.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a name="sec4" id="sec4"></a>
+Bread</h3>
+
+<ol>
+<li>Mix salt, flour, and, yeast if using dry breadmachine yeast</li>
+<li>Blend in olive oil, water, and yeast if using sourdough or a
+proofed starter; stir into a ball</li>
+<li>Knead for tenish minutes</li>
+<li>Lightly coat a bowl with olive oil and drop the dough into it;
+cover and let the dough rise in it for about 90 minutes (usual
+bubble / punch deal)</li>
+<li>Split into 6-8 balls and let it rest for 20 minutes;
+simultaneously preheat the oven to 400°F with a baking sheet or
+stone or whatever you bake bread on (whee, parallelism)</li>
+<li>Throw some flour onto a work surface and the tops of the dough
+balls; flatten into 1/4 inch thick pita shaped blobs</li>
+<li>Put a bowl of water into the oven on the bottom rack and bake for
+about 10 minutes</li>
+</ol>
+
+
+
+<h2><a name="sec5" id="sec5"></a>
+Notes</h2>
+
+<p class="first">With a 1:1 <em>white wheat:red wheat</em> ratio the bread is a tad bit
+heavy—try using a 2:1 <em>white wheat:red wheat</em> ratio to make it a bit
+lighter if you'd like.</p>

+<p>I have views that could perhaps be seen as odd. Do note that I am <strong>not</strong>
+a liberal; nor am I a conservative. I do not buy into the traditional
+socieconomic dipole scale, and I also reject the <em>political compass</em> two
+dimensional scale; my political belief system could best be described
+as <em>curmudgeonly bastard</em> if you must have a label for it. This is only
+because being a curmudgeonly bastard isn't an ideology, but rather a
+broad set of ideas centered around the rejection of traditional
+political and social structures (<em>i.e</em> hating everything). I reject the
+<em>ressentiment</em> (lookit I'm Nietzsche) of traditional anarchism and
+believe not that every man should have no master (for then <em>all</em> would
+be weak), but rather that he should be his own master (does that even
+<em>mean</em> anything? Eh, it sounds nice so who cares).</p>
+
+<p>These short essays are mere stubs I wrote a long while ago, and each
+will perhaps be extended in the future.</p>

+The Government of the Unites States</h3>
+
+<p class="first">I feel that the government in the United States is very close to being
+broken beyond repair (perhaps this is a bit conservative, but one must
+hope). As it stands the government above the local level (and even
+there!) ignores the individual citizen and instead is only forced to
+do anything by large scale action. As far as the individual is
+concerned we no longer live in a Republic, but rather in an Plutocracy
+which is quickly descending into something far worse.</p>
+
+<h4><a name="sec4" id="sec4"></a>
+Healthcare <em>Reform</em></h4>
+
+<p class="first">Upon airing my objections to the current Healthcare <em>Reform</em> bill, I was
+asked: did you read the bill? To which I replied with action and read
+<a href="http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h111-3590&tab=summary">the official summary of the bill</a>. And now I ask those who asked me if
+I had read it: have <em>you</em> read it. I received as a reply an unequivocal:
+<em>why should I have to</em>.</p>
+

+the formation of healthcare cooperatives. There are some taxes on
+large drug makers, but the research required by the FDA for drug
+approval is <em>tax deductible</em> (and so the larger drug makers can avoid

+Capitalism is Intrinsically Evil</h3>
+
+<p class="first">Cooperation is better than exploitation. How can one justify an

+attempt to make the most profit from their labor so as to make some
+profit?</p>
+
+<p>But then again, what does <em>evil</em> mean?</p>

+Long Term Copyright Causes Harm to Society (<code>Draft Revision 2</code>)</h3>
+
+
+
+
+
+<p>It is straightforward to calculate a fair cost for material goods. The
+material cost follows from the materials, and the labor cost generally
+derives from the complexity of construction. The fixed price for each
+item consists of both of these factors. Thus it is trivial to ensure
+that a craftsman is fairly compensated for his effort.</p>
+
+
+
+
+<p>Creative works must have their value calculated via a more circuitous
+route. The physical form of a creative work is of little importance;
+the ideas it represents are. The material and direct labor costs
+(printing, binding, etc.) are thus so small as to be of negligible
+importance when calculating value. There is effectively no objective
+way to place value on abstract work; all the value judgements we can
+make are subjective. We must then rely on irrational human valuations
+to determine the value on their own.</p>
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+<p>Creative works are fundamentally different from concrete works. A
+painting may inspire others start a new stylistic movement, the
+structure of a story may cause the formation of a new literary form,
+an essay may incite a new political movement, etc. Creative works
+weave themselves into the mental fabric of each individual exposed to
+them in a way that material goods cannot. A book may change your life;
+a table will never do that. This suggests that the abstract concepts
+which compose a work have a strange nature and great value. Those who
+control the distribution of creative works wield great power as a
+result of the ability of ideas to change the individual.</p>
+
+<p>After a certain period of time the physical manifestation of a
+creative work loses commercial value. New art is being created
+continually, and no one can be expected to read every important book
+written, see every film, and so on for other areas. When a work ceases
+to be profitable to publish distribution ceases. Allowing abstract
+works to simply drop from the market creates a serious problem. New
+ideas are built upon old ones, and after ideas have assimilated into
+the collective concious it is important to be able to go back to the
+old ideas and analyze them to understand the present culture. If a
+work is no longer available it is impossible to do this. Thus works
+that are no longer being commercially exploited should become the
+property of the public so that any worth preserving will be preserved
+by <em>someone</em> and avoid death.</p>
+
+
+
+
+<p>Copyright manages to work fairly well for ensuring creators are
+compensated for their effort, preventing abuse of creator rights to
+the detriment of society, and ensuring that works will become public
+property after they are commercially unprofitable. Irrational human
+judgements over time often work well, and so giving exclusive right to
+copy a work makes sense for a period of time to allow society to
+determine its monetary value. The fair use provisions of copyright
+give society reasonable leeway in the use of the ideas contained
+within a work while the work is protected, and this allows society to
+continue enriching its creative culture. The limited term of copyright
+and ensuing reversion to the public domain prevents the cultural
+stagnation and the loss of history that would result from works
+becoming unavailable.</p>
+
+
+
+
+
+
+<p>The term of copyright must be finely balanced between the need to
+ensure creators have enough time to receive fair compensation for
+their effort, and the desire to avoid cultural stagnation from
+unavailable works. The term must be short enough that a work will not
+be unavailable for too long after commercial interest dies. Every year
+that passes where the work isn't being published tends to reduce the
+number of copies in existence. It must also be long enough that a
+creator can profit according to the value that society puts upon his
+work.</p>
+
+<p>A term should be just long enough that a work will fall out of
+copyright when physical copies are still likely to exist. A man may
+keep his book collection unto his death, but his children may simply
+sell them off or discard them after he departs the mortal
+coil. Intuitive judgement says that things that are worth entering the
+public domain will be preserved by someone for at least his life. A
+person who has creative works in his posession is often attached to
+them and will keep the ones he likes the most for as long as possible
+(e.g. my music collection is backed up in flac so that I will be able
+to listen to my music forever). After he dies there is a large
+increase in the chance that the works will perish unless he by chance
+made special arrangements to have them preserved.</p>
+
+<p>A generation then seems to be a reasonable term; how many things are
+really commercially viable after thirty years? Some works may be
+relevant to the children of the generation who created them; it seems
+reasonable then that if a work is still commercially viable after a
+generation then the creator deserves to retain copyright for a second
+generation. It is questionable whether more terms would be good
+(issues of supression of information, right to profit, etc. come into
+play), but they can't quite be ruled out. A renewal system with a span
+of roughly thirty years ensures that a work will be out of publication
+for at most a generation's time. This appears to be a good balance
+between the right of the creator and the desire to keep knowledge from
+dying (from my eyes).</p>
+
+<p>The works of the current generation, their parents, their
+grandparents, and their great-grandparents are still copyrighted in
+the US. Works created in the present will be copyrighted for the
+lifetime of the author and seventy years after; a span of roughly six
+generations.</p>

+
+<p>A monoculture reduces the rate of idea formation, and ours is actively

+<blockquote>
+<p class="quoted">
+There are those who consider that studies in harmony, counterpoint,
+and fugue are the exclusive province of the intended composer. But if
+we reflect that theory must follow practice, rarely preceding it
+except by chance, we must realize that musical theory is not a set of
+directions for composing music. It is rather the collected and
+systematized deductions gathered by observing the practice of
+composers over a long time, and it attempts to set forth what is or
+has been their common practice. It tells not how music will be written
+in the future, but how music has been written in the past.</p>
+<p class="quoted">The results of such a definition of the true nature of musical theory
+are many and important. First of all, it is clear that this knowledge
+is indispensable to musicians in all fields of the art, whether they
+be composers, performers, conductors, critics, teachers, or
+musicologists. Indeed, a secure grounding in theory is even more a
+necessity to the musical scholar than to the composer, since it forms
+the basis for any intelligent appraisal of the individual styles of
+the past or present.</p>
+<p class="quoted">On the other hand, the person gifted for creative musical composition
+is taking a serious risk in assuming that this genius is great enough
+to get along without a deep knowledge of the common practice of
+composers. Mastery of the technical or theoretical aspects of music
+should be carried out by him as a life's work, running parallel to his
+creative activity but quite separate from it. In the one he is
+following common practice, while in the other he is responsible solely
+to the dictates of his own personal tastes and urge for expression.</p>

+<p>I enjoy classical literature and works of philosophy and politics with
+a side of cyberpunk novels for when my brain is tired. When I was in
+High School I read technical books for fun, but now I tend to find
+most of them useless (thank you Internet) excepting a few really well
+written ones (<em>L.i.s.p</em>, <em>TAOCP</em>, ...).</p>
+
+<p>I spend most of my time reading. A full list of things I have read

+<h3><a name="sec3" id="sec3"></a>
+Kahlil Gibran</h3>
+
+<p class="first">Kahlil Gibran is fairly interesting; his earlier works do not agree
+with my æsthetic sense (blah blah), but <em>The Madman</em> onward are all
+rather nice. So far I've read <em>A Tear and a Smile</em> (not so good
+excepting the last poem), <em>The Madman</em>, <em>The Prophet</em> (both excellent),
+and <em>Sand and Foam</em> (an interesting little book of aphorisms). A few of
+his works are <a href="http://leb.net/~mira/">online</a>, but I recommend scouting used book stores for
+old hardcover editions. The (late 90s onward at least) <em>hardcover</em>
+versions from <em>Alfred A. Knopf</em> are in fact permabound paperbacks with a
+hardcasing, and are of seriously inferior quality to the editions from
+the 50s and 60s (and cost quite a bit more, naturally).</p>

+
+<p>A quotation from one of my <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slaughter_of_the_Soul">favorite metal songs</a> inspired me to grab
+this book; at worst it would be a waste of time. Much reward was found
+in this random stab in the dark. The book is framed as an

+

+<h5>Cryptonomicon</h5>
+
+<p>I read <em>Cryptonomicon</em> when it was new, and at the time I thought it was
+good. It could have lost a hundred or so pages without detracting from
+the plot, but it was easy reading and didn't take very long to
+finish. The story was enganging, and the continual switching between
+the 1940s and present day slowly unravelled the tale in a nice way.</p>
+
+<p>I'd still have to recommend <em>Snow Crash</em> if one wished to read only one
+Stephenson novel.</p>
+
+
+<h5>Snow Crash</h5>
+
+<p>As one must read the <em>Bible</em> to understand English literature, so one
+must read <em>Snow Crash</em> today to be a nerd. In the realm of modern pop
+fiction this is one of the better books I've read; it was devoured in
+a mere four nights. Neal Stepheson may not be Milton, but he does come
+up with enganging tales. <em>Snow Crash</em> has a nice undertone of (quite
+accurate) political and social commentary that makes it worth reading
+as more than mere cyberpunk fiction.</p>

+John Taylor Gatto - <a href="http://www.johntaylorgatto.com/underground/toc1.htm">Underground History of American Education</a></h4>
+
+<p class="first">Contained within this book (available online for free, but the printed
+copy sits wonderfully on a shelf) is a detailed and seemingly well
+researched history of American Education with a particular focus on
+the transformation that has occured before our eyes in the last
+century. I am unsure if Gatto is entirely correct and not exaggerating
+anything; I have failed to find any negative criticisms, but it is not
+clear to me if that is because he is entirely correct or if no one
+cares enough to write a counterargument. I am in the process of
+tracking down as many of his sources as possible (a good number of
+them are out of print and not in the public domain yet), and will make
+an attempt to verify his argument over the course of the next year
+(that being 2007).</p>
+
+<p>If he is correct then every one of us has had the first eighteen years
+of our lives stolen from us, and we have collectively suffered massive
+intellectual damage. My intuitions tell me he is correct (which is why
+I am driven to verify; I cannot trust myself because I <em>want</em> to
+believe) for my individuality and intelligence were nearly stolen from
+me. The only reason I survived relatively unscathed is because I
+became completely socially withdrawn for the last half of elementary
+school until late in high school due to the abuse I received at the
+hands of my peers creating a deep fear of social interaction in
+me. The downside is that I had the confidence crushed from my soul,
+but now that I have begun to regain it (the good that bicycling
+enabling me to stand straight and gradual realization of my own worth
+as a human have done) I would never trade the ability to think freely
+for the social skills I lack.</p>

+before sleeping over the course of two weeks. Toward the end of the
+collection things get a bit topically repetetive (e.g. acting

+<p class="first">I purchased this when I was looking through books at a store after
+being unable to find the book I really wanted, and I must say that it
+was better for me to have found this one.</p>
+
+<p>Contained within is a beautiful analysis of despair in the context of
+Christianity (really theism in general). Even if the argument offends,
+the presentation cannot. The dialectical nature of despair is
+reflected in every aspect of the work, and the method of presentation
+forces reflection.</p>

+Thomas More - Utopia</h4>
+
+<p class="first">I read most of Utopia in high school with the TI-89 ebook reader, but
+the way the book was split up made it a bit difficult to grasp the
+overall structure. I found a copy at a used book store one day, and so
+I read it again, and found it much more comprehensible. It is a quick
+read, and decent piece of literature. The interesting social system
+espoused resembles resembles state communism (even if perhaps as a
+negative ideal), but with an strange blend of 14th century European
+social customs.</p>

+C J Date - Database in Depth</h4>
+
+<p class="first">This was a complete waste of time. The author rants on for 180 pages
+and presents the information in a disorderly and shallow manner. It
+could be rewritten in about fifty pages and contain the same amount of
+information if it were organized properly and the off topic commentary
+were minimized.</p>
+
+
+<h4><a name="sec23" id="sec23"></a>
+Gregor Kiczales - The Art of the Metaobject Protocol</h4>
+
+<p class="first">AMOP is useful as a reference to the CLOS MOP (although less so with
+the online MOP spec), but the true value of the book lies in the first
+half of the book. It presents the design of the CLOS MOP through a
+series of revisions that fix limitations of earlier implementations
+and gradually work toward a generic and well designed MOP for
+CLOS. Through that process one is made more aware of a few general
+object protocol design skills, and gains insight into how to cleanly
+make mapping decisions customizable.</p>

+decreased across almost every population segment in the US between

+<li>Two tablespoons of olive oil</li>
+</ul>

+Directions</h2>
+
+<ol>
+<li>Preheat oven to 400°F</li>
+<li>Separate the cloves of the garlic heads; leave the skin on the
+individual cloves (only removing lose bits of skin).</li>
+<li>Put onto a piece of aluminum foil and throw a tablesoon of olive
+oil on top of the cloves.</li>
+<li>Rub the olive oil over the cloves</li>
+<li>Turn the foil into a pouch and roast in a preheated 400°F oven for
+an hour</li>
+</ol>
+
+
+<h2><a name="sec3" id="sec3"></a>
+Notes</h2>
+
+<p class="first">The roasted garlic bits keep for a few days in the fridge so there
+isn't really any reason to roast less than a full head of
+garlic. Obviously you can throw some spices in if you want, but I
+usually just roast the garlic because I use it in heavily spiced
+things anyway. Don't try to roast more than two heads worth of cloves
+in a bunch, but naturally you can throw a bunch of pouches into the
+oven if you have a need for an absurd amount of roasted garlic.</p>

+Installing SCWM</h2>
+
+<h3><a name="sec2" id="sec2"></a>
+Dependencies</h3>
+
+<h4><a name="sec3" id="sec3"></a>
+Required</h4>
+
+<ul>
+<li><a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/guile">Guile</a> 1.8.0+</li>
+<li>IMLib 1.x (in Debian imlib11-dev)</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<h4><a name="sec4" id="sec4"></a>
+Optional</h4>
+
+<ul>
+<li><a href="ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guile-gtk/guile-gtk-0.60.tar.gz">Guile-GTK</a> 0.60 for dialog support. Guile-GTK 2.x and scwm are not
+compatible yet</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+
+<h3><a name="sec5" id="sec5"></a>
+Downloading and Building</h3>
+
+<p class="first">A working version of SCWM can be obtained from
+<a href="http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=225">sourceforge CVS</a>. Compilation is much more straightforward than one
+would suspect from a project so old (thanks to dsmith for doing the
+painful parts of unbitrotting). The standard autoconf sequence of
+commands should work.</p>
+
+<pre class="example">
+./autogen.sh
+./configure
+make
+sudo make install
+</pre>
+
+
+<h3><a name="sec6" id="sec6"></a>
+Running</h3>
+
+<p class="first">The directory <code>sample.scwmrc</code> has a few sample SCWM
+configurations. <code>system.scwmrc</code> and <code>sample.scwmrc</code> both work fairly well;
+I have yet to test the others. If not using <code>system.scwmrc</code> it is useful
+to at least include the bits that enable debugging.</p>
+
+<pre class="src">
+(<span class="emacs-face-keyword">define</span> <span class="emacs-face-function-name">debug</span> #t)
+
+(<span class="emacs-face-keyword">if</span> debug
+ (<span class="emacs-face-keyword">begin</span>
+ (add-hook! module-loaded-hook display-module-loaded)
+ (set! %load-verbosely #t)
+ (debug-enable 'debug 'backtrace)
+ (read-enable 'positions)))
+</pre>
+
+<p>SCWM will attempt to load <code>system.scwmrc</code> by default, but this can be
+overridden with the <code>-f</code> option. The default <code>system.scwmrc</code> loads user
+config from a series of files in <code>~/.scwm/</code>.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a name="sec7" id="sec7"></a>
+Hacking</h3>
+
+<h4><a name="sec8" id="sec8"></a>
+XNested Setup</h4>
+
+<p class="first">The easiest way to hack on SCWM is to run it inside of Xnest.</p>
+
+<pre class="example">
+Xnest :1 &
+scwm --display :1 --debug # --debug makes X requests synchronous
+</pre>
+
+
+<h4><a name="sec9" id="sec9"></a>
+GDS for Interaction</h4>
+
+<p class="first">SCWM has an emacs interaction mode that communicates with the window
+manager using X window properties, but the emacs side of the code
+doesn't quite work, and GDS is featureful enough now to be used to
+interact with scwm. Using GDS makes hacking scwm quite a bit
+easier. <strong>GDS requires a Guile built with threads to work properly
+(the version in Debian is built <em>without</em> threading).</strong></p>
+
+<h5>scwmrc code</h5>
+
+<p>The following code should be in your scwmrc somewhere.</p>
+
+<pre class="src">
+(use-modules (ice-9 gds-client)
+ (ice-9 threads))
+
+<span class="emacs-face-comment-delimiter">;;; </span><span class="emacs-face-comment">GDS thread (in case it must be killed during debugging, ...)
+</span>(<span class="emacs-face-keyword">define</span> <span class="emacs-face-function-name">cke-gds-thread</span> #f)
+
+(<span class="emacs-face-keyword">define</span> (<span class="emacs-face-function-name">connect-to-debugging-server</span>)
+ (set! cke-gds-thread
+ (call-with-new-thread (<span class="emacs-face-keyword">lambda</span> () (run-utility))))
+ cke-gds-thread)
+</pre>
+
+<p>After defining you can either use <code>scwmrepl</code> to run
+<code>(connect-to-debugging-server)</code> after starting a GDS server, or simply
+add <code>(connect-to-debugging-server)</code> to the config if one will always be
+running.</p>
+
+
+<h5>Emacs config</h5>
+
+<p>I wrote <a href="http://darcs.unknownlamer.org/site-emacs/init.d/guile-debug.el">a bit of elisp</a> to simplify setting up a scratch buffer for
+interaction with guile.</p>
+
+<pre class="src">
+(<span class="emacs-face-keyword">require</span> '<span class="emacs-face-constant">gds</span>)
+(<span class="emacs-face-keyword">require</span> '<span class="emacs-face-constant">gds-server</span>)
+(<span class="emacs-face-keyword">require</span> '<span class="emacs-face-constant">gds-scheme</span>)
+
+(<span class="emacs-face-keyword">defvar</span> <span class="emacs-face-variable-name">guile-scratch-buffer-name</span> <span class="emacs-face-string">"*guile-scratch*"</span>
+ <span class="emacs-face-doc">"Name of the Guile evaluation scratch buffer"</span>)
+
+(<span class="emacs-face-keyword">defun</span> <span class="emacs-face-function-name">make-guile-scratch-buffer</span> ()
+ (<span class="emacs-face-keyword">interactive</span>)
+ (<span class="emacs-face-keyword">let</span> ((scratch-buf (generate-new-buffer guile-scratch-buffer-name)))
+ (switch-to-buffer scratch-buf)
+ (scheme-mode)
+ (gds-auto-associate-buffer)))
+</pre>
+
+<p>If you were already running a debugging client process you will need
+to choose the process to associate the buffer with; <code>ps</code> will tell you
+the PID of scwm.</p>
+
+
+<h5>Known Issues</h5>
+
+<p>Occasionally evaluating an expression or viewing a backtrace will make
+scwm lockup. My understanding is that scwm is not threadsafe, and
+there are some evil issues that will take a while to solve. GDS works
+well enough for now; if I can't make GDS completely reliable I shall
+unbitrot the scwm emacs interaction mode (unless someone else beats me
+to it, <em>hint hint</em>).</p>

+<h2><a name="sec1" id="sec1"></a>
+Basic Setup</h2>
+
+<p class="first">I work on the static content of the site using <a href="http://mwolson.org/projects/EmacsMuse.html">Emacs Muse</a>. My muse
+configuration is pretty long and available in my
+<a href="http://unknownlamer.org/darcsweb/browse?r=site-emacs;a=headblob;f=/init.d/muse.el">site-emacs repository</a>. The site itself exists in a <a href="http://unknownlamer.org/darcsweb/browse?r=unknownlamer.org;a=summary">darcs repository</a>
+which is a fork of the source repository I edit locally—the source
+repository contains muse/image files while the site repository
+contains html updates as a separate series of patches.</p>
+
+<p>This provides a very nice editing environment and makes publishing
+fairly easy—I push edits from my laptop to my workstation and then
+off to <a href="http://hcoop.net">HCoop</a> with the html updates. Almost no effort is spent dealing
+with some dumb web interface or other pointless things making it much
+easier for me to just write things and toss them up onto the web.</p>
+
+
+<h2><a name="sec2" id="sec2"></a>
+Scripts</h2>
+
+<p class="first">There are a few scripts and templates in the <a href="http://unknownlamer.org/darcsweb/browse?r=site-support;a=summary">darcsweb::site-support</a>
+repository that I use to update the
+site. <a href="http://unknownlamer.org/darcsweb/browse?r=site-support;a=headblob;f=/update.sh">darcsweb::site-support/update.sh</a> automates the process of
+sending patches off to the server via afs.</p>
+
+<h3><a name="sec3" id="sec3"></a>
+Book Database</h3>
+
+<p><a href="Book%20List.html">Book List</a> is autogenerated by <a href="http://unknownlamer.org/darcsweb/browse?r=site-support;a=headblob;f=/books.lisp">darcsweb::site-support/books.lisp</a> which
+reads a template and a small sexp <em>database</em> of book entries and spits
+out a muse file which is not kept under VC. This works well for me
+currently, but I intend to eventually <em>upgrade</em> this simple system to an
+<a href="http://common-lisp.net/project/elephant/">Elephant</a> object database with a <a href="http://common-lisp.net/project/mcclim/">CLIM</a> frontend for editing
+entries. I'll probably end up writing a minimal database manager for
+the sexp based system first.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a name="sec4" id="sec4"></a>
+RSS Feed</h3>
+
+<p class="first">The site rss feed is generated by <a href="http://unknownlamer.org/darcsweb/browse?r=site-support;a=headblob;f=/rss.lisp">darcsweb::site-support/rss.lisp</a>. It
+fetches the darcs xml changelog for interesting files and then spits
+out a tolerable feed with automagically generated links from <code>*.muse</code> to
+<code>*.html</code>. A <a href="http://unknownlamer.org/darcsweb/browse?r=site-support;a=headblob;f=/update-rss-binary">dumped binary</a> is run from a darcs hook on the main
+repository that handily updates the feed whenever I commit.</p>
+
+<p><code>apply posthook update-site-rss
+apply run-posthook</code></p>
+
+<p>Boring old Apache is used to serve up the generated feed. The feed
+stays updated when I update, and Apache deals with properly letting
+readers know when the file last changed and whatnot.</p>
+
+
+
+<h2><a name="sec5" id="sec5"></a>
+License</h2>
+
+<p class="first">All of the scripts used to generate the site are in the public domain
+unless otherwise mentioned in the files themselves. To use them
+anywhere else would require modification, but a few chunks of code
+could be generally useful for other things.</p>

+<h2><a name="sec1" id="sec1"></a>
+Notice of Shameless Derivation As It Were</h2>
+
+<p class="first">I took the <a href="http://www.io.com/~sjohn/sour.htm">basic sourdough bread</a> recipe from <a href="http://www.io.com/~sjohn/">S. John Ross</a>, converted it
+into a rye bread, and rewrote the recipe steps a tad bit more nerdily
+perhaps. I also substituted molasses for sugar and accidentally used
+four tablespoons instead of teaspoons in the dough; the result was
+tasty and so I left it that way.</p>
+
+
+<h2><a name="sec2" id="sec2"></a>
+Ingredients</h2>
+
+<h3><a name="sec3" id="sec3"></a>
+Sponge</h3>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Sourdough Starter equivalent to 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup flour</li>
+<li>1/2 cup water</li>
+<li>1/2 cup rye flour</li>
+<li>1/4 cup red wheat flour or rye flour</li>
+<li>1 teaspoon molasses</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<h3><a name="sec4" id="sec4"></a>
+Dough</h3>
+
+<ul>
+<li>1 1/2 cups rye flour</li>
+<li>1 1/2 cups red wheat flour</li>
+<li>3/4 cup water</li>
+<li>2 tablespoons olive oil or butter</li>
+<li>4 tablepoons molasses</li>
+<li>2 teaspoons kosher salt</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+
+<h2><a name="sec5" id="sec5"></a>
+Recipe</h2>
+
+<h3><a name="sec6" id="sec6"></a>
+Sponge</h3>
+
+<p class="first">The night before baking add the starter to 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup
+rye flour and mix as per usual. A few hours before baking add 1/4 cup
+red wheat flour and a teaspoon of molasses to the sponge and allow it
+get bubbly again.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a name="sec7" id="sec7"></a>
+Dough</h3>
+
+<ol>
+<li>Mix sponge, molasses, salt, oil, and water thoroughly</li>
+<li>Gradually mix in 3 cups of flour (after about half of it has been
+mixed in you will have to knead the rest in by hand)</li>
+<li>Knead for a good ten or twenty minutes</li>
+<li>Roll into a ball and put into a bowl covered with a damp towel in
+a warm place until it fully rises (with my starter this takes
+about ninety minutes)</li>
+<li>If you desire a slightly more sour bread punch the dough ball down
+and let it rise a second time</li>
+<li>Knead the dough for a few minutes</li>
+<li>Put the dough into a bread pan if you desire a loaf or onto a
+pizza stone or whatever you usually bake upon and bake for about
+40 minutes at 350°F (do not preheat the oven)</li>
+<li>Tasty</li>
+</ol>
+
+
+
+<h2><a name="sec8" id="sec8"></a>
+Notes</h2>
+
+<p class="first">The two step starter process may be unnecessary. If you choose to do a
+one step starter just omit the wheat flour feeding (and perhaps
+molasses if you want a less sour sponge) and 1/4 cup of water from the
+dough.</p>
+
+<p>This bread contains a serious amount of molasses and as such may make
+you fat. I think backing things off to four teaspoons as per the white
+bread recipe this was originally might work, but I never bothered
+trying so do so at your own risk (and email me with your result if you
+wish).</p>

+<p>Everything is the same as the basic <a href="Pita.html">Pita</a> with the following additions.</p>
+
+<h2><a name="sec1" id="sec1"></a>
+Ingredients</h2>
+
+<ul>
+<li>6 sun dried tomatoes (dry and not oil packed)</li>
+<li>3/4 cup water from boiling tomatoes and 3/4 cup water instead of 1
+1/2 cups of water</li>
+<li>About 1 tbsp fresh romemary (chopped a bit)</li>
+<li>2 decent sized leaves of basil (chopped)</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<h2><a name="sec2" id="sec2"></a>
+Directions</h2>
+
+<ol>
+<li>Boil the sun dried tomatoes in one cup of water with a dash of
+salt for ten minutes. Save 3/4 cups of the water after boiling.</li>
+<li>Chop the sun dried tomatoes into fairly small chunks</li>
+<li>Chop the basil leave fairly finely; cut the rosemary leaves into
+thirds (approximate, naturally—a few whole leaves are entirely
+ok).</li>
+<li>Blend in the basil and rosemary with the dry ingredients</li>
+<li>Blend in the tomato chunks with the wet ingredients</li>
+<li>Return to the good old <a href="Pita.html">Pita</a> recipe</li>
+</ol>
+
+
+<h2><a name="sec3" id="sec3"></a>
+Notes</h2>
+
+<p class="first">Sometimes I grate some parmesian or another hard cheese and mix it
+with a bit of rosemary and garlic into a small amount of olive oil
+(just enough to make things sticky) and spread it onto the tops of the
+pita when baking. It is, naturally, delicious.</p>

+<h2><a name="sec1" id="sec1"></a>
+Definition</h2>
+
+<p class="first">Term logic is the classical form of logic used by the followers of
+Aristotle (i.e. all of Europe) prior to the advent of modern predicate
+logic. A basic knowledge of it is fundamental to understanding
+European and Greek philosophical texts written prior to around the
+mid-1800s. I have written this page as a set of notes for myself to
+assist with formulating the structure of the enthymemes presented in
+<em>Rhetoric</em>.</p>
+
+
+
+<h2><a name="sec2" id="sec2"></a>
+Propositions</h2>
+
+<p class="first">There are four categories of propositions in term logic</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>A: Universal affirmative <!-- $\forall P \exists Q P
+\rightarrow Q$--><img src="img/latex/latex2png-Term Logic__1820230203588184659.png" alt="latex2png equation" class="latex-inline" /></li>
+<li>E: Universal negative <!-- $\forall P \exists Q P
+\rightarrow \neg Q$--><img src="img/latex/latex2png-Term Logic__1990139104632252084.png" alt="latex2png equation" class="latex-inline" /></li>
+<li>I: Particular affirmative <!-- $\exists P \exists Q P
+\rightarrow Q$--><img src="img/latex/latex2png-Term Logic__1820230203585672063.png" alt="latex2png equation" class="latex-inline" /></li>
+<li>O: Particular negative <!-- $\exists P \exists Q P
+\rightarrow \neg Q$--><img src="img/latex/latex2png-Term Logic__1990136469440439988.png" alt="latex2png equation" class="latex-inline" /></li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3><a name="sec3" id="sec3"></a>
+Relations of Propositional Categories</h3>
+
+<h4><a name="sec4" id="sec4"></a>
+A to E — Negation</h4>
+
+<p class="first">Universal affirmatives and universal negatives stand in the most
+important dialectical relationship: they cannot both be true.</p>
+
+
+<h4><a name="sec5" id="sec5"></a>
+I to O — Subcontradiction</h4>
+
+<p class="first">Particular affirmatives and particular negatives <em>may</em> simultaneously be
+true, but they cannot simultaneously be false.</p>
+
+
+<h4><a name="sec6" id="sec6"></a>
+A to I / E to O— Implication</h4>
+
+<p class="first">The universal affirmative implies the particular affirmative; likewise
+for the universal and particular negative.</p>
+
+
+<!-- \[ \forall P \exists Q P \rightarrow Q \vdash \exists P
+ \exists Q P \rightarrow Q \]--><p><img src="img/latex/latex2png-Term Logic__662057013302028111.png" alt="latex2png equation" class="latex-display" /></p>

+
+
+<h4><a name="sec7" id="sec7"></a>
+A to O / E to I — Contradiction</h4>
+
+<p class="first">The universal affirmative contradicts the particular negative;
+likewise for the universal negative and the particular positive.</p>
+
+
+<!-- \[ \forall P \exists Q P \rightarrow Q \not \vdash \exists P
+ \exists Q P \rightarrow \neg Q \]--><p><img src="img/latex/latex2png-Term Logic__930112774001846957.png" alt="latex2png equation" class="latex-display" /></p>

+Abstract</h2>
+
+<p><a href="http://common-lisp.net/project/ucw/">UnCommon Web</a> is a very powerful and mature web framework for Common
+Lisp, but is a bit difficult to learn. It is documented
+extensively—in the form of docstrings. These are extremely helpful
+once you've figured out the rough structure of UCW, but they are of no
+help when first learning unless you just read most of the source. I
+ended up having to do that, and after some urging along by folks in
+<code>#ucw</code> I decided to clean up my planner notes and publish them for
+public consumption.</p>
+
+<p>The roadmap is presented with major sections ordered in a logical
+order for learning the framework. The sections are ordered internally
+in order of most immediately useful to least, but it may be worth
+hopping between major sections before reading all of the details. I
+have used abridged class definitions and docstrings with occasional
+commentary to clarify things.</p>

+Applications</h3>
+
+<p class="first">Applications are a bundle of entry points. The base class is,
+naturally, <code>standard-application</code>, but you should instead derive your
+application class from <code>modular-application</code> and any standard or custom
+application mixins you find useful.</p>

+ are used to initialize the slots in the component. This option
+ may appear multiple times.

+ already have a :backtrack option FUNCTION-DESIGNATOR is
+ added. As with the 'regular' :backtrack options if you pass T
+ here it is assumed to mean #'IDENTITY.
+
+ (:RENDER (&optional COMPONENT) &body BODY) - Generate a render
+ method specialized to COMPONENT. COMPONENT may be a symbol, in
+ which case the method will be specialized on the componnet
+ class. If COMPONNET is omited the component is bound to a
+ variable with the same name as the class.

+must pass these values to whatever code is used to render the actual

+Getting dojo to load</h3>

+that the <code>:www-roots</code> option for an application works is a bit
+confusing, and it is unforgiving if you mess the pathname up. A
+directory <strong>must</strong> have a <code>/</code> at the end, and the directory you are serving
+must also have the <code>/</code> (which is counterintuitive given the behavior of
+most unix things that don't want the <code>/</code> at the end of the name).</p>

+<h3><a name="sec25" id="sec25"></a>
+Specials Bound During Rendering</h3>
+
+<p class="first">The current request context is bound to <code>ucw:*context*</code>, and the current

+<h3><a name="sec26" id="sec26"></a>
+Printing to the yaclml stream</h3>
+
+<p class="first">Occasionally it can be useful to do something like write a byte array
+as an ascii string to the client. Inside of <code>render</code> the variable
+<code>yaclml:*yaclml-stream*</code> is bound to the stream that you can write to if
+you wish to have content interspersed with yaclml tags.</p>

+<p>Thanks to the public domain I have republished the full text of
+William James's article <em><a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/20768">The Ph.D Octopus</a></em>. It is a rather nice essay on
+the over-reliance on academic accredation as a measure of intellectual
+worth which I find is a particularly relevant issue today.</p>
+
+<p>What makes this most interesting is that it was published in 1903 by a
+man who was seeing our present-day culture form before his eyes. Ah!
+What an exciting—or perhaps, terrifying—time the beginning of the
+20th century must have been! All of the technological <em>progress</em> in our
+time has been meaningless in contrast to our utter cultural
+stagnation. Perhaps exciting times are here for us now; perhaps the
+time has come to reverse—or transcend—the cultural <em>progress</em> of the
+early 20th century.</p>

+Full Text</h2>
+
+<blockquote>
+<p class="quoted">
+Some years ago we had at our Harvard Graduate School a very brilliant
+student of Philosophy, who, after leaving us and supporting himself by
+literary labor for three years, received an appointment to teach
+English Literature at a sister-institution of learning. The governors
+of this institution, however, had no sooner communicated the
+appointment than they made the awful discovery that they had enrolled
+upon their staff a person who was unprovided with the Ph.D. degree.
+The man in question had been satisfied to work at Philosophy for her
+own sweet (or bitter) sake, and had disdained to consider that an
+academic bauble should be his reward.</p>
+<p class="quoted">His appointment had thus been made under a misunderstanding. He was
+not the proper man; and there was nothing to do but to inform him of
+the fact. It was notified to him by his new President that his
+appointment must be revoked, or that a Harvard doctor's degree must
+forthwith be procured.</p>
+<p class="quoted">Although it was already the spring of the year, our Subject, being a
+man of spirit, took up the challenge, turned his back upon literature
+(which in view of his approaching duties might have seemed his more
+urgent concern) and spent the weeks that were left him, in writing a
+metaphysical thesis and grinding his psychology, logic and history of
+philosophy up again, so as to pass our formidable ordeals.</p>
+<p class="quoted">When the thesis came to be read by our committee, we could not pass it.
+Brilliancy and originality by themselves won't save a thesis for the
+doctorate; it must also exhibit a heavy technical apparatus of
+learning; and this our candidate had neglected to bring to bear. So,
+telling him that he was temporarily rejected, we advised him to pad out
+the thesis properly, and return with it next year, at the same time
+informing his new President that this signified nothing as to his
+merits, that he was of ultra Ph.D. quality, and one of the strongest
+men with whom we had ever had to deal.</p>
+<p class="quoted">To our surprise we were given to understand in reply that the quality
+<em>per se</em> of the man signified nothing in this connection, and that
+three magical letters were the thing seriously required. The College
+had always gloried in a list of faculty members who bore the doctor's
+title, and to make a gap in the galaxy, and admit a common fox without
+a tail, would be a degradation impossible to be thought of. We wrote
+again, pointing out that a Ph.D. in philosophy would prove little
+anyhow as to one's ability to teach literature; we sent separate
+letters in which we outdid each other in eulogy of our candidate's
+powers, for indeed they were great; and at last, <em>mirabile dictu</em>, our
+eloquence prevailed. He was allowed to retain his appointment
+provisionally, on condition that one year later at the farthest his
+miserably naked name should be prolonged by the sacred appendage the
+lack of which had given so much trouble to all concerned.</p>
+<p class="quoted">Accordingly he came up here the following spring with an adequate
+thesis (known since in print as a most brilliant contribution to
+metaphysics), passed a first-rate examination, wiped out the stain, and
+brought his college into proper relations with the world again.
+Whether his teaching, during that first year, of English Literature was
+made any the better by the impending examination in a different
+subject, is a question which I will not try to solve.</p>
+<p class="quoted">I have related this incident at such length because it is so
+characteristic of American academic conditions at the present day.
+Graduate schools still are something of a novelty, and higher diplomas
+something of a rarity. The latter, therefore, carry a vague sense of
+preciousness and honor, and have a particularly "up-to-date"
+appearance, and it is no wonder if smaller institutions, unable to
+attract professors already eminent, and forced usually to recruit their
+faculties from the relatively young, should hope to compensate for the
+obscurity of the names of their officers of instruction by the
+abundance of decorative titles by which those names are followed on the
+pages of the catalogues where they appear. The dazzled reader of the
+list, the parent or student, says to himself, "This must be a terribly
+distinguished crowd,—their titles shine like the stars in the
+firmament; Ph.D.'s, S.D.'s, and Litt.D.'s, bespangle the page as if
+they were sprinkled over it from a pepper caster."</p>
+<p class="quoted">Human nature is once for all so childish that every reality becomes a
+sham somewhere, and in the minds of Presidents and Trustees the Ph.D.
+degree is in point of fact already looked upon as a mere advertising
+resource, a manner of throwing dust in the Public's eyes. "No
+instructor who is not a Doctor" has become a maxim in the smaller
+institutions which represent demand; and in each of the larger ones
+which represent supply, the same belief in decorated scholarship
+expresses itself in two antagonistic passions, one for multiplying as
+much as possible the annual output of doctors, the other for raising
+the standard of difficulty in passing, so that the Ph.D. of the special
+institution shall carry a higher blaze of distinction than it does
+elsewhere. Thus we at Harvard are proud of the number of candidates
+whom we reject, and of the inability of men who are not <em>distingues</em> in
+intellect to pass our tests.</p>
+<p class="quoted">America is thus as a nation rapidly drifting towards a state of things
+in which no man of science or letters will be accounted respectable
+unless some kind of badge or diploma is stamped upon him, and in which
+bare personality will be a mark of outcast estate. It seems to me high
+time to rouse ourselves to consciousness, and to cast a critical eye
+upon this decidedly grotesque tendency. Other nations suffer terribly
+from the Mandarin disease. Are we doomed to suffer like the rest?</p>
+<p class="quoted">Our higher degrees were instituted for the laudable purpose of
+stimulating scholarship, especially in the form of "original research."
+Experience has proved that great as the love of truth may be among men,
+it can be made still greater by adventitious rewards. The winning of a
+diploma certifying mastery and marking a barrier successfully passed,
+acts as a challenge to the ambitious; and if the diploma will help to
+gain bread-winning positions also, its power as a stimulus to work is
+tremendously increased. So far, we are on innocent ground; it is well
+for a country to have research in abundance, and our graduate schools
+do but apply a normal psychological spur. But the institutionizing on
+a large scale of any natural combination of need and motive always
+tends to run into technicality and to develop a tyrannical Machine with
+unforeseen powers of exclusion and corruption. Observation of the
+workings of our Harvard system for twenty years past has brought some
+of these drawbacks home to my consciousness, and I should like to call
+the attention of my readers to this disadvantageous aspect of the
+picture, and to make a couple of remedial suggestions, if I may.</p>
+<p class="quoted">In the first place, it would seem that to stimulate study, and to
+increase the <em>gelehrtes Publikum</em>, the class of highly educated men in
+our country, is the only positive good, and consequently the sole
+direct end at which our graduate schools, with their diploma-giving
+powers, should aim. If other results have developed they should be
+deemed secondary incidents, and if not desirable in themselves, they
+should be carefully guarded against.</p>
+<p class="quoted">To interfere with the free development of talent, to obstruct the
+natural play of supply and demand in the teaching profession, to foster
+academic snobbery by the prestige of certain privileged institutions,
+to transfer accredited value from essential manhood to an outward
+badge, to blight hopes and promote invidious sentiments, to divert the
+attention of aspiring youth from direct dealings with truth to the
+passing of examinations,—such consequences, if they exist, ought
+surely to be regarded as drawbacks to the system, and an enlightened
+public consciousness ought to be keenly alive to the importance of
+reducing their amount. Candidates themselves do seem to be keenly
+conscious of some of these evils, but outside of their ranks or in the
+general public no such consciousness, so far as I can see, exists; or
+if it does exist, it fails to express itself aloud. Schools, Colleges,
+and Universities, appear enthusiastic over the entire system, just as
+it stands, and unanimously applaud all its developments.</p>
+<p class="quoted">I beg the reader to consider some of the secondary evils which I have
+enumerated. First of all, is not our growing tendency to appoint no
+instructors who are not also doctors an instance of pure sham? Will
+any one pretend for a moment that the doctor's degree is a guarantee
+that its possessor will be successful as a teacher? Notoriously his
+moral, social and personal characteristics may utterly disqualify him
+for success in the class-room; and of these characteristics his
+doctor's examination is unable to take any account whatever. Certain
+bare human beings will always be better candidates for a given place
+than all the doctor-applicants on hand; and to exclude the former by a
+rigid rule, and in the end to have to sift the latter by private
+inquiry into their personal peculiarities among those who know them,
+just as if they were not doctors at all, is to stultify one's own
+procedure. You may say that at least you guard against ignorance of
+the subject by considering only the candidates who are doctors; but how
+then about making doctors in one subject teach a different subject?
+This happened in the instance by which I introduced this article, and
+it happens daily and hourly in all our colleges? The truth is that the
+Doctor-Monopoly in teaching, which is becoming so rooted an American
+custom, can show no serious grounds whatsoever for itself in reason.
+As it actually prevails and grows in vogue among us, it is due to
+childish motives exclusively. In reality it is but a sham, a bauble, a
+dodge, whereby to decorate the catalogues of schools and colleges.</p>
+<p class="quoted">Next, let us turn from the general promotion of a spirit of academic
+snobbery to the particular damage done to individuals by the system.</p>
+<p class="quoted">There are plenty of individuals so well endowed by nature that they
+pass with ease all the ordeals with which life confronts them. Such
+persons are born for professional success. Examinations have no
+terrors for them, and interfere in no way with their spiritual or
+worldly interests. There are others, not so gifted who nevertheless
+rise to the challenge, get a stimulus from the difficulty, and become
+doctors, not without some baleful nervous wear and tear and retardation
+of their purely inner life, but on the whole successfully, and with
+advantage. These two classes form the natural Ph.D.'s for whom the
+degree is legitimately instituted. To be sure, the degree is of no
+consequence one way or the other for the first sort of man, for in him
+the personal worth obviously outshines the title. To the second set of
+persons, however, the doctor ordeal may contribute a touch of energy
+and solidity of scholarship which otherwise they might have lacked, and
+were our candidates all drawn from these classes, no oppression would
+result from the institution.</p>
+<p class="quoted">But there is a third class of persons who are genuinely, and in the
+most pathetic sense, the institution's victims. For this type of
+character the academic life may become, after a certain point, a
+virulent poison. Men without marked originality or native force, but
+fond of truth and especially of books and study, ambitious of reward
+and recognition, poor often, and needing a degree to get a teaching
+position, weak in the eyes of their examiners,—among these we find the
+veritable <em>chair a canon</em> of the wars of learning, the unfit in the
+academic struggle for existence. There are individuals of this sort
+for whom to pass one degree after another seems the limit of earthly
+aspiration. Your private advice does not discourage them. They will
+fail, and go away to recuperate, and then present themselves for
+another ordeal, and sometimes prolong the process into middle life. Or
+else, if they are less heroic morally they will accept the failure as a
+sentence of doom that they are not fit, and are broken-spirited men
+thereafter.</p>
+<p class="quoted">We of the university faculties are responsible for deliberately
+creating this new class of American social failures, and heavy is the
+responsibility. We advertise our "schools" and send out our
+degree-requirements, knowing well that aspirants of all sorts will be
+attracted, and at the same time we set a standard which intends to pass
+no man who has not native intellectual distinction. We know that there
+is no test, however absurd, by which, if a title or decoration, a
+public badge or mark, were to be won by it, some weakly suggestible or
+hauntable persons would not feel challenged, and remain unhappy if they
+went without it. We dangle our three magic letters before the eyes of
+these predestined victims, and they swarm to us like moths to an
+electric light. They come at a time when failure can no longer be
+repaired easily and when the wounds it leaves are permanent; and we say
+deliberately that mere work faithfully performed, as they perform it,
+will not by itself save them, they must in addition put in evidence the
+one thing they have not got, namely this quality of intellectual
+distinction. Occasionally, out of sheer human pity, we ignore our high
+and mighty standard and pass them. Usually, however, the standard, and
+not the candidate, commands our fidelity. The result is caprice,
+majorities of one on the jury, and on the whole a confession that our
+pretensions about the degree cannot be lived up to consistently. Thus,
+partiality in the favored cases; in the unfavored, blood on our hands;
+and in both a bad conscience,—are the results of our administration.</p>
+<p class="quoted">The more widespread becomes the popular belief that our diplomas are
+indispensable hall-marks to show the sterling metal of their holders,
+the more widespread these corruptions will become. We ought to look to
+the future carefully, for it takes generations for a national custom,
+once rooted, to be grown away from. All the European countries are
+seeking to diminish the check upon individual spontaneity which state
+examinations with their tyrannous growth have brought in their train.
+We have had to institute state examinations too; and it will perhaps be
+fortunate if some day hereafter our descendants, comparing machine with
+machine, do not sigh with regret for old times and American freedom,
+and wish that the <em>regime</em> of the dear old bosses might be reinstalled,
+with plain human nature, the glad hand and the marble heart, liking and
+disliking, and man-to-man relations grown possible again. Meanwhile,
+whatever evolution our state-examinations are destined to undergo, our
+universities at least should never cease to regard themselves as the
+jealous custodians of personal and spiritual spontaneity. They are
+indeed its only organized and recognized custodians in America to-day.
+They ought to guard against contributing to the increase of officialism
+and snobbery and insincerity as against a pestilence; they ought to
+keep truth and disinterested labor always in the foreground, treat
+degrees as secondary incidents, and in season and out of season make it
+plain that what they live for is to help men's souls, and not to
+decorate their persons with diplomas.</p>
+<p class="quoted">There seem to be three obvious ways in which the increasing hold of the
+Ph.D. Octopus upon American life can be kept in check.</p>
+<p class="quoted">The first way lies with the universities. They can lower their
+fantastic standards (which here at Harvard we are so proud of) and give
+the doctorate as a matter of course, just as they give the bachelor's
+degree, for a due amount of time spent in patient labor in a special
+department of learning, whether the man be a brilliantly gifted
+individual or not. Surely native distinction needs no official stamp,
+and should disdain to ask for one. On the other hand, faithful labor,
+however commonplace, and years devoted to a subject, always deserve to
+be acknowledged and requited.</p>
+<p class="quoted">The second way lies with both the universities and colleges. Let them
+give up their unspeakably silly ambition to bespangle their lists of
+officers with these doctorial titles. Let them look more to substance
+and less to vanity and sham.</p>
+<p class="quoted">The third way lies with the individual student, and with his personal
+advisers in the faculties. Every man of native power, who might take a
+higher degree, and refuses to do so, because examinations interfere
+with the free following out of his more immediate intellectual aims,
+deserves well of his country, and in a rightly organized community,
+would not be made to suffer for his independence. With many men the
+passing of these extraneous tests is a very grievous interference
+indeed. Private letters of recommendation from their instructors,
+which in any event are ultimately needful, ought, in these cases,
+completely to offset the lack of the breadwinning degree; and
+instructors ought to be ready to advise students against it upon
+occasion, and to pledge themselves to back them later personally, in
+the market-struggle which they have to face.</p>
+<p class="quoted">It is indeed odd to see this love of titles—and such titles—growing
+up in a country or which the recognition of individuality and bare
+manhood have so long been supposed to be the very soul. The
+independence of the State, in which most of our colleges stand,
+relieves us of those more odious forms of academic politics which
+continental European countries present. Anything like the elaborate
+university machine of France, with its throttling influences upon
+individuals is unknown here. The spectacle of the "Rath" distinction
+in its innumerable spheres and grades, with which all Germany is
+crawling to-day, is displeasing to American eyes; and displeasing also
+in some respects is the institution of knighthood in England, which,
+aping as it does an aristocratic title, enables one's wife as well as
+one's self so easily to dazzle the servants at the house of one's
+friends. But are we Americans ourselves destined after all to hunger
+after similar vanities on an infinitely more contemptible scale? And
+is individuality with us also going to count for nothing unless stamped
+and licensed and authenticated by some title-giving machine? Let us
+pray that our ancient national genius may long preserve vitality enough
+to guard us from a future so unmanly and so unbeautiful!</p>

+<p>The <em>Varieties of Religious Experience</em> is a set of twenty lectures on
+religious experience from a psychological perspective. The quality of
+the method used is a bit suspect, but my understanding is that it was
+one of the first pyschological surveys of religion, and so could
+perhaps be forgiven of a few flaws.</p>
+
+<p>I found parts to be boring, and others to have flawed reasoning, but
+with a few lectures that were interesting. At the very least the
+lectures give a reasonable glimpse into the religous fashion of the
+late 1800s. There is a small bit of social commentary thrown in that
+is cited by John Gatto in his <em>Underground History of American
+Education</em>, which is why I chose to read this.</p>
+
+<h3><a name="sec2" id="sec2"></a>
+Lectures I and II</h3>
+
+<p class="first">The first two lectures lay the groundwork for the lecture series. The
+first covers a few views on what religious experience is, and gives
+refutations (although not terribly good ones now, perhaps they were
+seen as fine in the early 1900s) to a few deterministic theories. The
+second lecture defines the scope of the topic to be covered, and
+limits the definitions of religion and spirituality.</p>
+
+
+<blockquote>
+<p class="quoted">
+Religion, therefore, as I now ask you arbitrarily to take it, shall
+mean for us <em>the feelings, acts, and experiences of individual men in
+their solitude, so far as they apprehend themselves to stand in
+relation to whatever they may consider the divine</em>. Since the
+relation may be either moral, physical, or ritual, it is evident that
+out of religion in the sense in which we take it, theologies,
+philosophies, and ecclesiastical organizations may secondarily grow.
+In these lectures, however, as I have already said, the immediate
+personal experiences will amply fill our time, and we shall hardly
+consider theology or ecclesiasticism at all.</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>In the second lecture James's first extremely arbitrary distinction is
+made; he compares the stoicism espoused by Marcus Aurelius to
+Christian writings and draws what I think is a nonexistent difference
+between the two. It is my opinion that the Stoic is just as religious
+by James's definition as the Christian; the stoic merely sees the
+Universe as his god and makes conformance to the natural order his
+ideal. The Stoic actively embraces the natural order just as the
+Christian actively loves his god; the difference is merely in whether
+God is seen as a definite individual or not.</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+<p class="quoted">
+If we compare stoic with Christian ejaculations we see much more
+than a difference of doctrine; rather is it a difference of
+emotional mood that parts them. When Marcus Aurelius reflects on
+the eternal reason that has ordered things, there is a frosty
+chill about his words which you rarely find in a Jewish, and
+never in a Christian piece of religious writing. The universe is
+"accepted" by all these writers; but how devoid of passion or
+exultation the spirit of the Roman Emperor is! Compare his fine
+sentence: "If gods care not for me or my children, here is a
+reason for it," with Job's cry: "Though he slay me, yet will I
+trust in him!" and you immediately see the difference I mean.
+The anima mundi, to whose disposal of his own personal destiny
+the Stoic consents, is there to be respected and submitted to,
+but the Christian God is there to be loved; and the difference of
+emotional atmosphere is like that between an arctic climate and
+the tropics, though the outcome in the way of accepting actual
+conditions uncomplainingly may seem in abstract terms to be much
+the same.</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+
+<h3><a name="sec3" id="sec3"></a>
+Lecture III: &quot;The Reality of the Unseen&quot;</h3>
+
+<p class="first">The third lecture consists of a brief overview of various
+interpretations of the structure of the unseen world. An argument for
+a dualistic universe is then given using a few passages on spiritual
+encounters as supposed proof. James criticizes strict rationalism as
+well.</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+<p class="quoted">
+Nevertheless, if we look on man's whole mental life as it exists, on
+the life of men that lies in them apart from their learning and
+science, and that they inwardly and privately follow, we have to
+confess that the part of it of which rationalism can give an account
+is relatively superficial. It is the part that has the prestige
+undoubtedly, for it has the loquacity, it can challenge you for
+proofs, and chop logic, and put you down with words. But it will fail
+to convince or convert you all the same, if your dumb intuitions are
+opposed to its conclusions. If you have intuitions at all, they come
+from a deeper level of your nature than the loquacious level which
+rationalism inhabits. Your whole subconscious life, your impulses,
+your faiths, your needs, your divinations, have prepared the premises,
+of which your consciousness now feels the weight of the result; and
+something in you absolutely <em>knows</em> that that result must be truer than
+any logic-chopping rationalistic talk, however clever, that may
+contradict it. This inferiority of the rationalistic level in
+founding belief is just as manifest when rationalism argues for
+religion as when it argues against it. That vast literature of proofs
+of God's existence drawn from the order of nature, which a century ago
+seemed so overwhelmingly convincing, to-day does little more than
+gather dust in libraries, for the simple reason that our generation
+has ceased to believe in the kind of God it argued for. Whatever sort
+of a being God may be, we <em>know</em> to-day that he is nevermore that mere
+external inventor of "contrivances" intended to make manifest his
+"glory" in which our great-grandfathers took such satisfaction, though
+just how we know this we cannot possibly make clear by words either to
+others or to ourselves. I defy any of you here fully to account for
+your persuasion that if a God exist he must be a more cosmic and
+tragic personage than that Being.</p>

+
+<h3><a name="sec4" id="sec4"></a>
+Lectures IV and V: &quot;The Religion of Healthy Mindedness&quot;</h3>
+
+<p class="first">Lecture IV is an interesting read and surveys a few positive minded
+philosophies, but Lecture V focuses entirely on the <em>mind-cure</em>
+movement. William James then gives a terrible argument for the
+validity of <em>mind-cure</em>, and compares it to science while neglecting the
+complete lack of objectivity in the methods of test the effects of
+<em>mind-cure</em>.</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+<p class="quoted">
+It is a deliberately optimistic scheme of life, with both a
+speculative and a practical side. In its gradual development during
+the last quarter of a century, it has taken up into itself a number
+of contributory elements, and it must now be reckoned with as a
+genuine religious power. It has reached the stage, for example, when
+the demand for its literature is great enough for insincere stuff,
+mechanically produced for the market, to be to a certain extent
+supplied by publishers—a phenomenon never observed, I imagine, until
+a religion has got well past its earliest insecure beginnings.</p>
+<p class="quoted">...</p>
+<p class="quoted">The plain fact remains that the spread of the movement has been
+due to practical fruits, and the extremely practical turn of
+character of the American people has never been better shown than
+by the fact that this, their only decidedly original contribution
+to the systematic philosophy of life, should be so intimately
+knit up with concrete therapeutics. To the importance of
+mind-cure the medical and clerical professions in the United
+States are beginning, though with much recalcitrancy and
+protesting, to open their eyes. It is evidently bound to develop
+still farther, both speculatively and practically, and its latest
+writers are far and away the ablest of the group. It matters
+nothing that, just as there are hosts of persons who cannot pray,
+so there are greater hosts who cannot by any possibility be
+influenced by the mind-curers' ideas. For our immediate purpose,
+the important point is that so large a number should exist who
+<em>can</em> be so influenced. They form a psychic type to be studied
+with respect.</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>The lectures are ended with an argument for the validity of <em>mind-cure</em>
+that compares it directly to science with a clear anti-science bias.</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+<p class="quoted">
+These are exceedingly trivial instances [<em>the first-hand accounts of
+mind-cure working given in the lecture</em>], but in them, if we
+have anything at all, we have the method of experiment and
+verification. For the point I am driving at now, it makes no
+difference whether you consider the patients to be deluded
+victims of their imagination or not. That they seemed to
+<em>themselves</em> to have been cured by the experiments tried was enough
+to make them converts to the system. And although it is evident
+that one must be of a certain mental mould to get such results
+(for not every one can get thus cured to his own satisfaction any
+more than every one can be cured by the first regular
+practitioner whom he calls in), yet it would surely be pedantic
+and over-scrupulous for those who <em>can</em> get their savage and
+primitive philosophy of mental healing verified in such
+experimental ways as this, to give them up at word of command for
+more scientific therapeutics.</p>
+<p class="quoted">What are we to think of all this? Has science made too wide a
+claim?</p>
+<p class="quoted">I believe that the claims of the sectarian scientist are, to say
+the least, premature. The experiences which we have been
+studying during this hour (and a great many other kinds of
+religious experiences are like them) plainly show the universe to
+be a more many-sided affair than any sect, even the scientific
+sect, allows for. What, in the end, are all our verifications
+but experiences that agree with more or less isolated systems of
+ideas (conceptual systems) that our minds have framed? But why
+in the name of common sense need we assume that only one such
+system of ideas can be true? The obvious outcome of our total
+experience is that the world can be handled according to many
+systems of ideas, and is so handled by different men, and will
+each time give some characteristic kind of profit, for which he
+cares, to the handler, while at the same time some other kind of
+profit has to be omitted or postponed. Science gives to all of
+us telegraphy, electric lighting, and diagnosis, and succeeds in
+preventing and curing a certain amount of disease. Religion in
+the shape of mind-cure gives to some of us serenity, moral poise,
+and happiness, and prevents certain forms of disease as well as
+science does, or even better in a certain class of persons.
+Evidently, then, the science and the religion are both of them
+genuine keys for unlocking the world's treasure-house to him who
+can use either of them practically. Just as evidently neither is
+exhaustive or exclusive of the other's simultaneous use. And
+why, after all, may not the world be so complex as to consist of
+many interpenetrating spheres of reality, which we can thus
+approach in alternation by using different conceptions and
+assuming different attitudes, just as mathematicians handle the
+same numerical and spatial facts by geometry, by analytical
+geometry, by algebra, by the calculus, or by quaternions, and
+each time come out right? On this view religion and science,
+each verified in its own way from hour to hour and from life to
+life, would be co-eternal. Primitive thought, with its belief in
+individualized personal forces, seems at any rate as far as ever
+from being driven by science from the field to-day. Numbers of
+educated people still find it the directest experimental channel
+by which to carry on their intercourse with reality</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>He draws a very strong conclusion that would be difficult to draw from
+even quality evidence and objective trials; this drawn from subjective
+personal accounts with no controlled testing method. A representative
+example follows of his evidence follows.</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+<p class="quoted">
+"One of my first experiences in applying my teaching was two
+months after I first saw the healer. I fell, spraining my right
+ankle, which I had done once four years before, having then had
+to use a crutch and elastic anklet for some months, and carefully
+guarding it ever since. As soon as I was on my feet I made the
+positive suggestion (and felt it through all my being): 'There
+is nothing but God, and all life comes from him perfectly. I
+cannot be sprained or hurt, I will let him take care of it.'
+Well, I never had a sensation in it, and I walked two miles that
+day."</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>Ignoring any other problems in William James's argument, it is clear
+that his conclusion is far too heavy to rest upon the evidence he has
+chosen to use.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a name="sec5" id="sec5"></a>
+Lectures VI and VII: &quot;The Sick Soul&quot;</h3>
+
+<p class="first">The lectures on the Sick Soul are filled with rather weak quotations
+(excepting a few short passages of Tolstoy). The reader is reminded
+over and over how terrible and painful it is to be working through
+these horrid expressions of melancholy which aren't really so
+terrible.</p>
+
+<p>James's view is that a state of melancholy is merely a transitional
+stage that comes before a second mental birth occurs, and allows for a
+deep religious belief to set in. Most of the remainder of the lecture
+series is dedicated to analyzing the mind of the Second Born which he
+sees are far deeper spiritually than the simple positive Once Born
+type (depsite his previous praise of <em>mind-cure</em>).</p>

+"Coming out of the cafe I met the carriage of Monsieur B. [the
+proselyting friend]. He stopped and invited me in for a drive,
+but first asked me to wait for a few minutes whilst he attended
+to some duty at the church of San Andrea delle Fratte. Instead
+of waiting in the carriage, I entered the church myself to look
+at it. The church of San Andrea was poor, small, and empty; I
+believe that I found myself there almost alone. No work of art
+attracted my attention; and I passed my eyes mechanically over
+its interior without being arrested by any particular thought. I
+can only remember an entirely black dog which went trotting and
+turning before me as I mused. In an instant the dog had
+disappeared, the whole church had vanished, I no longer saw
+anything, . . . or more truly I saw, O my God, one thing alone.
+"Heavens, how can I speak of it? Oh no! human words cannot

+<p class="quoted">"I was there prostrate on the ground, bathed in my tears, with my
+heart beside itself, when M. B. called me back to life. I could
+not reply to the questions which followed from him one upon the
+other. But finally I took the medal which I had on my breast,
+and with all the effusion of my soul I kissed the image of the
+Virgin, radiant with grace, which it bore. Oh, indeed, it was
+She! It was indeed She! [What he had seen had been a vision of
+the Virgin.]</p>
+<p class="quoted">"I did not know where I was: I did not know whether I was
+Alphonse or another. I only felt myself changed and believed
+myself another me; I looked for myself in myself and did not find
+myself. In the bottom of my soul I felt an explosion of the most
+ardent joy; I could not speak; I had no wish to reveal what had
+happened. But I felt something solemn and sacred within me which
+made me ask for a priest. I was led to one; and there alone,
+after he had given me the positive order, I spoke as best I
+could, kneeling, and with my heart still trembling. I could give
+no account to myself of the truth of which I had acquired a
+knowledge and a faith. All that I can say is that in an instant
+the bandage had fallen from my eyes, and not one bandage only,
+but the whole manifold of bandages in which I had been brought
+up. One after another they rapidly disappeared, even as the mud

+- Single attributes of saintliness are found in the non-religious
+- Combination of all forms is religious in nature
+- Flows from sense of divine order
+- Saintly person palces happiness internally rather than deriving
+from comfort
+- Saintly attributes mixed with narrow mind results in terrible
+excessive forms
+- We should not, however, place blame for narrow mindedness
+entirely on the individual
+- Essentials vs Accidents of saintliness
+- Dislike of Saintly character
+- Man traditionally worships strong leaders
+- Saints are weak and passive
+- Male vs Female nature [think Yin vs Yang]
+- Many suppose there is one ideal type of character
+- Empiricism rejects this as foolish
+- On the one hande the saintly character is better than the
+strongman becaue he is adapted to life in a perfect society
+- On the other in the real world he would be ill adapted
+- Mixture of the two characters useful [think Nietzsche's

+III.B.1</h3>
+
+<blockquote>
+<p class="quoted">
+Ch'en Tai said, "When you refused even to see them, the feudal lords
+appeared insignificant to you. Now that you have seen them, they are
+either kings, or, at least, leaders of the feudal lords. Moreover,
+it is said in the <em>Records</em>, 'Bend the foot in order to straighten
+the yard.' That seems worth doing."</p>
+<p class="quoted">"Once," said Mencius, "Duke Ching of Ch'i went hunting and summoned
+his gamekeeper with a pennon. The gamekeeper did not come, and the
+Duke was going to have him put to death. 'A man whose mind is set on
+high ideals never forgets that he may end in a ditch; a man of valor
+never forgets that he may forfeit his head.' What did Conficius find
+praiseworthy in the gamekeeper? His refusal to answer to a form of
+summons to which he was not entitled. What can one do about those
+who go without even being summoned? Moreover, the saying, 'Bend the
+foot in order to straighten the yard' refers to profit. If it is for
+profit, I suppose one might just as well bend the yard to straighten
+the foot.</p>
+<p class="quoted">"Once, Viscount Chien of Chao sent Wang Liang to drive the chariot
+for his favorite, Hsi. In the whole day they failed to catch one
+single bird. Hsi reported to his master, 'He is the worst charioteer
+in the world.' Someone told Wang Liang of this. Liang asked, 'May I
+have another chance?' It was with difficulty that Hsi was persuaded,
+but in one morning they caught ten birds. Hsi reported to his
+master, 'He is the best charioteer in the world.' 'I shall make him
+drive for you,' said Viscount Chien. He asked Wang Liang, but
+Wang Liang refused. 'I drove for him according to the proper rules,'
+said he, 'and we did not catch a single bird all day. Then I used
+underhand methods, and we caught ten birds in one morning. The <em>Book
+of Odes</em> says,</p>
+<p class="quoted"></p>
+
+<p class="verse">
+He never failed to drive correctly,<br />
+And his arrows went straight for the target<br />
+</p><br />
+</p>
+<p class="quoted">I am not used to driving for small men. May I be excused?'</p>
+<p class="quoted">"Even a charioteer is ashamed to be in league with an archer. When
+doing so means catching enough birds to pile up like a mountain, he
+would still rather not do it. What can one do about those who bend
+the Way in order to please others? You are futher mistaken. There
+has never been a man who could straighten others by bending
+himself."</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+
+<h3><a name="sec3" id="sec3"></a>
+VI.A.10</h3>
+
+<blockquote>
+<p class="quoted">
+Mencius said, "Fish is what I want; bear's palm is also what I
+want. If I cannot have both, I would rather take bear's palm than
+fish. Life is what I want; dutifulness is also what I want. If I
+cannot have both, I would rather take dutifulness than life. On the
+one hand, though life is what I want, there is something I want more
+than life. That is why I do not cling to life at all costs. On the
+other hand, though death is what I loathe, there is something I
+loathe more than death. That is why there are troubles I do not
+avoid. If there is nothing a man wants more than life, then why
+should he have scruples about any means, so long as it will serve to
+keep him alive? if there is nothing a man loathes more than death,
+then why should have have scruples about any means, so long as it
+helps him to avoid trouble? Yet there are ways of remaining alive
+and ways of avoiding death to which a man will not resort. In other
+words, there are things a man wants more than life and there are
+also things he loathes more than death. This is an attitude not
+confined to the moral man but common to all men. The moral man simply
+never loses it.</p>
+<p class="quoted">"Here is a basketful of rice and a bowful of soup. Getting them will
+mean life; not getting them will mean death. When these are given
+with abuse, even a wayfarer would not accept them; when these are
+given after being trampled upon, even a beggar would not accept
+them. Yet when it comes to ten thousand bushels of grain one is
+supposed to accept without asking if it is in accordance with the
+rites or if it is right to do so. What benefit are then thousand
+bushels of grain to me? [Do I accept them] for the sake of beautiful
+houses, the enjoyment of wives and concubines, or for the sake of
+the gratitude my needy acquaintances will show? What I would not
+accept in the first instance when it was a matter of life and death
+I now accept for the sake of beautiful houses; what I would not
+accept when it was a matter of life and death I now accept for the
+enjoyment of wives and concubines; what I would not accept when it
+was a matter of life and death I now accept for the sake of the
+gratitude my needy acquaintances will show me. Is there no way of
+putting a stop to this? This way of thinking is known as losing
+one's original heart."</p>

+ 1 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.<br />
+ 2 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.<br />
+ 3 What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?<br />
+ 4 One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth<br />
+abideth for ever.<br />
+ 5 The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place<br />
+where he arose.<br />
+ 6 The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it<br />
+whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his<br />
+circuits.<br />
+ 7 All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place<br />
+from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.<br />
+ 8 All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not<br />
+satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.<br />
+ 9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done<br />
+is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.<br />
+ 10 Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been<br />
+already of old time, which was before us.<br />
+ 11 There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any<br />
+remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.<br />
+ 12 I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.<br />
+ 13 And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things<br />
+that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man<br />
+to be exercised therewith.<br />
+ 14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is<br />
+vanity and vexation of spirit.<br />
+ 15 That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting<br />
+cannot be numbered.<br />
+ 16 I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great estate, and<br />
+have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem:<br />
+yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.<br />
+ 17 And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I<br />
+perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.<br />
+ 18 For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge<br />
+increaseth sorrow.<br />

+Either/Or I</h3>
+
+<blockquote>
+<p class="quoted">
+A feature in which our age certainly excels that age in Greece is that
+our age is more depressed and therefore deeper in despair. Thus, our
+age is sufficiently depressed to know that there is something called
+responsibility and that this means something. Therefore, although
+everyone wants to rule, no one wants to have responsibility. It is
+still fresh in our memory that a French statesman, when offered a
+portfolio the second time, declared that he would accept it but on the
+condition that the secretary of state be made responsible. It is well
+known that the king in France is not responsible, but the prime
+minister is; the prime minister does not wish to be responsible but
+wants to be prime minister provided that the secretary of state will
+be responsible; ultimately it ends, of course, with the watchmen or
+street commissioners becoming responsible. Would not this inverted
+story of responsibility be an appropriate subject for Aristophanes! On
+the other hand, why are the government and the governors so afraid of
+assuming responsibility, unless it is because they fear an opposition
+party that in turn continually pushes away responsibility on a similar
+scale. When one imagines these two powers face to face with each other
+but unable to catch hold of each other because the one is always
+disappearing and is replaced by the other—such a situation would
+certainly not be without comic power.</p>

+<h3><a name="sec9" id="sec9"></a>
+Beyond Good and Evil</h3>
+
+<blockquote>
+<p class="quoted">
+<strong>30.</strong> Our highest insights must—and should—sound
+like follies and sometimes like crimes when they are heard without
+permission by those who are not predisposed and predestined for
+them. The difference between the exoteric and the esoteric, formerly
+known to philosophers—among the Indians as among the Greek,
+Persians, and Muslims, in short, wherever one believed in an order of
+rank and <em>not</em> in equality and equal rights—does not so much
+consists in this, that the exoteric approach comes from the outside
+and sees, estimates, measures, and judges from the outside, not the
+inside; what is much more essential is that the exoteric approach sees
+things from below, the esoteric looks <em>down from above</em>. There
+are heights of the soul from which even tragedy ceases to look tragic;
+and rolling together all the woe of the world—who could dare to
+decide whether its sight would <em>necessarily</em> seduce us and
+compel us to feel pity and thus double this woe?</p>
+<p class="quoted">What serves the higher type of men as nourishment or delectation must
+almost be poison for a very different and inferior type. The virtues
+of the common man might perhaps signify vices and weaknesses in a
+philosopher. It could be possible that a man of a high type, when
+degenerating and perishing, might only at that point acquire qualities
+that would require those in the lower sphere into which he had sunk to
+begin to venerate him like a saint. There are books that have opposite
+values for soul and health, depending on whether the lower soul, the
+lower vitality, or the higher and more vigorous ones turn to them: in
+the former case, these books are dangerous and lead to crumbling and
+disintegration; in the latter, heralds' cries that call the bravest to
+<em>their</em> courage. Books for all the world are always
+foul-smelling books: the smell of small people clings to them. Where
+the people eat and drink, even where they venerate, it usually
+stinks. One should not go to church if one wants to breathe
+<em>pure</em> air.</p>

+Site Software</h3>
+
+<p class="first">I use <a href="http://www.mwolson.org/projects/MuseMode.html">muse-mode</a> to author the site because <a href="http://emacswiki.org">Emacs</a> is all powerful, and
+the closest approximation to a good user interface available on any
+modern computer system. Muse allows me to simply write with very low
+overhead (I spend most of my time in Emacs, and having hyperlinks and
+a reasonable preview in the file buffer is quite useful). The file
+format is quite hairy, but luckily the code is Free Software and, if
+needed, I could easily write a publishing backend that transcoded my
+site to an easier to parse format. There are advantages to being a
+programmer.</p>
+
+<p>I use darcs to push updates to the site and manage my muse files. As
+such there is a handy <a href="http://feeds.unknownlamer.org/rss/site-updates">updates feed</a> courtesy of a small Lisp program I
+wrote and darcs.</p>
+
+<p>A <a href="Site%20Software.html">more detailed description</a> of my setup is available.</p>

+<h3><a name="sec13" id="sec13"></a>
+Ancient History</h3>
+
+<p><a href="http://unknownlamer.org/index.1999_2006.html">The Old Site</a> is still available. Links to pages there will remain
+stable indefinitely so as to not break the Holy Command of Our Sovran
+Hypertextia. Be warned I may have been a teenager when most of it was
+written.</p>
