in reply to Tk Time Haiku

On my system the offset for Time is a little off. Doesn't clearly separate until x = 315. Weird system glitch, or am I missing intentional meaning?

    It's probably the way the Scalable fonts are made on your system. I cheated a bit, in the interest of simplicity, and just hard-coded the position of Time, based on my display. I thought about doing it better, by setting Time to the right of the bbox of it's preceding phrase, but I figured it wasn't worth it. Now I know better, and a fix will come by the end of the day. Thanks for reporting it. :-)

    As an aside, this reminds me of all the recent nodes on software testing. How could I have possibly tested for this, other than let hundreds of monks, all with different systems, try it.

      Well, hundreds of monks at hundreds of keyboards seems like a valid method. And then there's magical intuition fairies. That's two ;-)
