[MR] Stefan's Florilegium files for May

[Olwen the Odd]

> Greetings to Gentlefolk of the Known World,
> 
> Here is a copy of my monthly Florilegium article for May, detailing 
> what is new in the Florilegium this month.
> 
> I have added an RSS feed for the Florilegium website. If you are 
> already reading RSS feeds, please add the Florilegium RSS feed to 
> find out when new and updated files as well as new features get added
> to the website. If you are unfamiliar with RSS, or Real Simple 
> Syndication, is a method built into many web browsers as being 
> available as a separate tool, which lets you find out when the 
> contents of your favorite websites has been updated or changed. You 
> can find out more about RSS at this link as well as elsewhere: http:// 
> rss.softwaregarden.com/aboutrss.html If you find this feature 
> useful, please let me know. I have no way of knowing if you are 
> finding it useful or not through the system itself.
> 
> Like much of the economy, web advertising revenue is down. Last month 
> I requested folks to click on an ad if it seemed interesting. This 
> did cause a momentary spike in my ad income, which was a big help in 
> meeting last month's expenses. However, after that couple of days the 
> ad clicks went way down. If folks can get into the habit of clicking 
> on an ad when they visit the site it would really help. Even if you 
> don't buy anything, each click brings ratings up and increases the 
> amount of money advertisers are willing to pay for each ad displayed. 
> I'm trying to keep the amount of advertising as small as I can and as 
> useful as I can.
> 
> And if anyone has any contacts in the high-tech industry in Austin, 
> Texas and would like to join my find-Stefan-a-job club, send me 
> email. :-)
> 
> Thanks,
> Stefan

> A Blending of the Past and Present
> 
> Over the past nineteen years in an ongoing effort, I have been 
> collecting bits of useful information from various newsgroups, mail 
> lists and articles submitted to me by their authors. In order to make 
> this information available to others, I have placed this information 
> in a collection of files I call Stefan's Florilegium.

> The Florilegium is on the web at: http://www.florilegium.org

> I have added an RSS feed for the Florilegium website. If you are 
> already reading RSS feeds, please add the Florilegium RSS feed to 
> find out when new and updated files as well as new features get added 
> to the website. If you are unfamiliar with RSS, or Real Simple 
> Syndication, it is a method built into many web browsers, and also 
> available as a separate tool, which alerts you when the contents of 
> your favorite websites have been changed.
> 
> I am always interested in new articles. If you have written an 
> article that would be of interest to others in the SCA, please send 
> it to me for possible inclusion in the Florilegium. A&S documentation 
> and class handouts will also often work out well. I am especially 
> interested in A&S papers.
