Oh yes…

> delay universal entropy that little longer

Brush up on your second law of thermodynamics! Closed systems necessarily wind down, but any sufficiently small subset of the universe can achieve (almost) arbitrarily high levels of order, as long as you’re willing to burn up everything else.

I will investigate “Pragma: no-cache”.

And yes, comments do have a uid. I forgot to actually use it!

I’m busy though; don’t expect me to work on any of this until at least next weekend :)

Oh, and there’s one more thing…

One day, a kid, or a crazy wild-eyed scientist who claims to be a scientist, is gonna
come around asking about about having each comment given an uid (if they dont already?) and pouring that into a XHTML #id, so the Refresh: header gives a james.lab6.com/1234/56/78/blog/#uid style URL so that they see their post when the post it, and delay universal entropy that little longer.

Of course, your time correction kludge makes it still wrong, oops. Also, the ‘Refresh:’ works, but needs some kind of ‘Browsers, dont refresh from cache’ flag because I dont see my post unless I manually refresh, and some luser might post twice ;p

OK, time corrected. Zhaoyang is an hour and fifteen minutes slow.

Zhaoyang time. I suppose I could shift it forward 2 hours, but it’s not been high on the todo list :)

What time is this? Its 22:38 GMT time according to euro.time.apple.com, so what time are these comments running on? James Time? :) And what, no decimal expression of James Time?
