3:54 pm	Understanding Rafferty's Argot: "If It Was Hard to Code, It Should be Hard to Use!" "If it was hard to code, it should be hard to use!": A cry of sarcastic frustration when trying to use open-source software, which is often poorly documented and where user-friendly interfaces are a secondary or tertiary concern.

7:07 pm	Quote for the Day "It’s true that for a field to evolve, it has to be a collective change that pulls the whole system along with it — readers, artists, publishers, distributors, printers, retailers.
