Cory Doctorow gave an interview to RedHat.com recently and mentioned Circadiana there. Although I am thrilled that he likes this place, he made two mistakes:
First, I am not a she.
Second, Circadiana has not tapered off - it is more active than ever!
Uh, you are most definitely NOT female....LOLOL!
ReplyDeleteIt took me a moment to figure out how that misconception arose. But if one does not immediately make the association to "circadian", the association most people would make is to "Diana," as though circadiana meant "around Diana." So it would be natural to think of a woman.
ReplyDeleteActually, the name came from a phrase commonly used in our lab: "this is arcane circadiana" refering to stuff that only a few sages in the field can possibly understand LOL.
