Autumn

Almost forgot I had this blog. And the number of interesting things to talk about here has been, well, manageable.

Living north of the equator, the summer is over for me, has been for just over 3 weeks now. Not being used to winters any more, I felt a great deal of relief that we are getting another unexpected week of warm weather - well above 20C. Nice.

Maybe, global warming has arrived for real? The winter will be cancelled, due to lack of interest? Too much to hope for.

I read that someone successfully enforced their copyright on a god they made up. The justification for assessment of damages being that the deity was more difficult to reach, since another believer was using the (apparently low-bandwidth) communication channel to said deity. I don't remember if the interference was remedied after this legal action, or if the monetary penalty assessed (US$800 or so) was sufficient to compensate for the lack of the gods attention. Either way, between the two believers and the courts involved in this, some people suffer from poor judgement. I have to look up the references and post them, otherwise I won't believe it myself in a few weeks.
