Anyone remember that story I told about the three-year-old who knew what "Xiphias Gladius" means?

His father just added me to his (the father's) friends list. It was only AFTER that that we realized that we knew each other, and how. I Am Amused.

That's great! Small world gets even smaller.

And for those who aren't familiar with the story...

How did you find that? I was looking through my lj for like two hours last night, in order to just send the guy the link, but I couldn't find it, so I retyped it.

How did you find that?

Seriously,

1. I knew you had posted it to your LJ at some point.
   
2. I went to http://xiphias.livejournal.com/calendar
   
3. I knew it wasn't this month, so went to the previous month and chose View Subjects and scanned the list of subjects for public posts that looked relevant.
   
4. Didn't see it there so went back to the previous month
   
5. Ctrl+F on "name" gave me a post on July 16th titled My username, which was the right one.

A good magician doesn't reveal hir secrets, but I suppose a good librarian is supposed to educate patrons...

Okay. . . I thought I posted it more than three months ago, which was my error, I guess.
