Housekeeping ~ Tandem Aliquando

~ David Meadows ~ rogueclassicist ~ Leave a comment

With the Christmas break approaching, I’m in a position to finally start catching up on things properly. The problem is, however, that the HUGE backlog lurking in my mailbox includes items which I want to post, but which don’t quite qualify as “news” anymore. I still want to post them, but I want you folks to know that I know that they are probably a bit stale, newswise (I usually use a cutoff date of 8-10 days for a ‘best before’ date). Accordingly, I’ve created a category “Tandem Aliquando” which should appear somewhere on the post (with other categories, natch) and which should serve as a reasonable hint as to the freshness of the item. If I remember, I’ll also indicate somewhere in the post itself … just so y’all know!
