Off I go, then

I have about an hour to grab something resembling lunch before I hit the road. Or the skies. Whatever.

In case the gentleman supposed to meet me at the Ruritania airport is reading—don’t worry, I am hard to miss. Tall woman, glasses, long brown hair, in a voluminous black fleece cape over a dress in shades of green and blue-green with gold-thread accents. Trust me, you’ll know me when you see me.

Y’all be good while I’m gone. I’ll check in here if there’s time.

Oh, and there’s another cute bit in ITAL, about a small library using server-side includes to avoid having to make the same updates to umpteen database pathfinders. This, ladies and gentlemen? Is exactly what I mean by a HACK. It’s a kludge that’s quick to set up, simple to use, and isn’t perfect, but saves gobs of time over doing something by hand.

It just amuses me to death that a simple, basic hack (I’ve got a similar one running on Textartisan) gets reported in a flagship journal.
