Thanks for this. I've heard that some of the alleys south of Market got their names from the proprietors of brothels in that area, such as Minna, Natoma, Tehama, Clementina. Can anyone debunk/confirm this?


No, it has only 24 chapters. Version 2 has 27.


Did you delete your comment? It may have diverged a bit from the topic, but I found your method more compelling than using a password managing service.



"This has enormous potential," said study co-author Alex Bayen, a UC Berkeley professor of electrical engineering and computer science. "These findings are going to come into practice in the near future. This is not just a scientific study."

``... not just a scientific study.'' Reinforce engineering v. science stereotypes much?


Could ``Bicholim Conflict'' have been a potential Mountweazel for Wikipedia:

I don't see why it would have been created for that purpose, there are dozens, if not hundreds, of kudzu sites scraping Wikipedia and cloning its articles as early as 2005:

Why would anyone create a "copyright trap" for an encyclopedia whose work is free to copy?

Hex: 32 cb 96 89 93 59 59

Decimal: 50 203 150 137 147 89 89

ASCII: 2 Ë [not defined]x3 Y Y

What am I missing?


Vertical isn't ASCII either:

  3c  23  40  57  2b  10  74  2f

  <   #   @   W   +   DLE t   /
I think it's nothing, pointing out we shouldn't be wasting our time figuring out useless poster puzzles that have little value to our work?



I'm interested in whether you looked into using a DocBook tool chain via publican or asciidoc.


The reason I asked was your comment about taking advantage of source control and the implied separation of content from formatting.

The only real advantage that I can see to going with publican[1] or asciidoc[2] is that they're free tools. The main disadvantage is that you'd have to define formatting via XSL.

XSL! Oh no! I'll have to steer clear of that :)


No I didn't. Sorry I'm not familiar with it - can you tell us what the pros/cons of that approach might be vs. what I did?
