December 2017 OLUG Meeting

by Jon on Nov. 27, 2017, under Meeting

Presentations and Holiday Social Hour

The December OLUG Meeting is coming up on Tuesday, December 5th at 6:30 PM at 1902 Howard Street in the AIM Brain Exchange building in Omaha, NE. We are in the Cerebrum Room.

Bring a short presentation with you, no more than 10 – 15 minutes.

After the presentation part of the meeting (hence the short duration), we will have our sixth annual social hour for the holidays. Talk, exchange GPG keys, have some snacks, discuss penguins, etc.

The social hour will begin around 7:00 to 7:15.

Please bring a holiday-themed snack with you. Bring something to drink for yourself. Post to the mailing list what you plan to bring so we don’t all bring a bag of chips.

Please come out and say hello!

The Meeting will be streamed live on Youtube live – we do sometimes experience technical difficulties with our streaming setup. Attending the meeting in person does work around most technical difficulties. 🙂

The Least Perceptive Literary Critic
	The most important critic in our field of study is Lord Halifax.  A
most individual judge of poetry, he once invited Alexander Pope round to
give a public reading of his latest poem.
	Pope, the leading poet of his day, was greatly surprised when Lord
Halifax stopped him four or five times and said, "I beg your pardon, Mr.
Pope, but there is something in that passage that does not quite please me."
	Pope was rendered speechless, as this fine critic suggested sizeable
and unwise emendations to his latest masterpiece.  "Be so good as to mark
the place and consider at your leisure.  I'm sure you can give it a better
turn."
	After the reading, a good friend of Lord Halifax, a certain Dr.
Garth, took the stunned Pope to one side.  "There is no need to touch the
lines," he said.  "All you need do is leave them just as they are, call on
Lord Halifax two or three months hence, thank him for his kind observation
on those passages, and then read them to him as altered.  I have known him
much longer than you have, and will be answerable for the event."
	Pope took his advice, called on Lord Halifax and read the poem
exactly as it was before.  His unique critical faculties had lost none of
their edge.  "Ay", he commented, "now they are perfectly right.  Nothing can
be better."
