As you may imagine, a conference of theologians, biblical scholars, and specialists in comparative and historical studies of religion is not a hotbed of technological innovation and availability. (There are hot patches of technology — there’s a Computer-Aided Research Group, for instance — but they’re oases in a pretty barren landscape.) So I’m not doing any live-blogging. The paucity of electrical outlets and online access make that impractical.
But I did go to an Editorial Board meeting of Teaching Theology and Religion, at which a couple of clued proposals seemed to gain a little traction. And I’m on my way to a paper on forgiveness that Margaret’s giving, at the Systematic Theology Section. Lunch with an editor two whom I owe two books, and then I spend the afternoon working on my “visual hermeneutics” presentation. I may blog then, by way of distraction and procrastination. Then an evening packed with receptions, where I’ll be going to renew old friendships and where Margaret’ll be going to do that and to vivify her connections with profs at places she’s applied for doctoral work. And there’s always the book display. . . .

Almost every variable you work with can be represented in 32 bits of memory: thirty-two 1s and 0s define the data that a simple variable can hold. There are exceptions, like on the new 64-bit G5s and in the 128-bit world of AltiVec
