MY NAME IS MIRIAM SESE-SEKO AND I AM THE WIFE OF THE LATE CHANCELLOR OF THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NIGERIA.
This article discusses (sort of) the naval forces of the Byzantine Empire. You know, that other kind of ship. The little one.
☞ Also from Wikipedia: I think someone maybe does not like Danish Blue cheese.

Any local Ottawa people want to recommend places to get local and Canadian news via RSS? The CBC feeds were never that great and they’ve stopped during the labour dispute. CFRA has good headlines and a third-party RSS feed but they don’t provide much detail in their articles. The Citizen is dumb and backwards and only provides their content to paid subscribers. The Sun isn’t really my kind of paper, and offers their headlines in flash so they’re not even scrapable. The Globe and Mail is decent for national news, and has decent RSS feeds for news articles, but they don’t do local news. Dose is spotty and isn’t a News Organization and is drowning in hipness and has no RSS feeds I can see.

    This is true. I only provide my content to paid subscribers, and I don’t see anything dumb or backwards about that at all.
