George Boole
« on: December 10, 2014, 01:01:47 PM »
Something I didn't notice on the day: 8th December 2014 (Monday) was the 150th anniversary of the death of George Boole, the inventor of Boolean logic and algebra. Given how fundamental this is to computing, and hence Exilian's existence and activities, it seems worthy of note here. There's a short BBC News article that attempts to explain how significant it is.

attempts to explain
Was it a successful attempt? :D
Most effective elected official. Ever. (not counting Jubal)

He is Jubal the modder, Jubal the wayfarer, Jubal the admin. And he has come to me now, at the turning of the tide.
