Book meme, per instructions :)

Following a fellow hackerette's instructions, here's my meme:

"Computer science has a subdiscipline called Information Retrieval 
(IR for short) that focuses almost entirely on this problem."

And the original Andreia's instructions copied here:

  • Grab the nearest book.
  • Open it to page 56.
  • Find the fifth sentence.
  • Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
  • Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.

So, Andreia, what's the page number for next week? :)

Probably says something that my nearest book at the time I read this was 'The Key to Solomon's Key - Secrets of Magic and Masonry'... although my next nearest book was 'A New House For Eeyore', which probably says just as much.

I saw Andreia's post, followed by yours, and figured to myself, "what the heck", so I turned to the closest book to my keyboard at work, found "Pro WPF in C# 2008" (ironically open to page 556), and thumbed back to page 56:  entirely blank!  Frown

Well well, it looks like this book meme thing is really contagious!

Blank pages are easy! IMHO, it should read "This page intentionally left blank".
