I sent you an e-mail.

Ok, thanks :) Just to confirm, though, that's May 2015, right? (And not the 5th of April 2015.)

I have now made a new label for eBooks I discourage and I also wrote a clarification about neutral books -- those without any legend. Thanks for pointing out this element of confusion.

Judging by the title, this book seems targeted at beginners. Nonetheless, I decided to buy it since I'm using Django in my current side project.
I have a question (not related to my side project). I maintain a list of my eBook library where I put the following information about the eBooks I have (data for this book in parentheses): Publisher (Leanpub), Title (Hello Web App), Authors (Tracy Osborn), Published (), Purchased (2015-07-08), Last known update (2015-05-08), Catalog Page (http://leanpub.com/hellowebapp), Read duration (). As you can see, I was unable to determine what to put in the Published field. I would like to have information for this on the form Month Year. Could someone -- preferably Tracy or a Leanpub employee -- tell me what to put there?
PS: If you'd like to see my eBook library list, you can find it at http://www.erikano.net/eBooks/purchased.htm. Note that some of the books at the bottom of the list are ones I am not so interested in reading any longer.

XQuartz might be of interest to you. It used to be included with OS X in older releases but is an external download now. http://xquartz.macosforge.org/
After you've installed it, you can test that it works by typing
xeyes
Then ssh to some other machine with X forwarding enabled. To do that, ensure the remote host has
X11Forwarding yes
/etc/ssh/sshd_config
ssh -X example.com
xeyes
Hope this helps though I'm not sure it is quite what you're looking for.
(Personally, I use X forwarding very rarely, prefering the terminal for almost everything but browsing the web.)

Dead comment by user bombless. Reposting so Carol gets to see the comment (since she asked specifically for additional ways to find information) in case she doesn't have show dead on.
>About the ‵mod′ keyword in ‵use′, if you ask it on IRC I'm sure many people including me would point you the relevant PR that was made around October. Nice article by the way.

Does this still work more or less the same with Django 1.8?

It is currently a manual process.
This first entry I made by
TZ=UTC echo $( date +%YT%T%z ). <message>
Next time I want to add an entry, I will:
expr $( host head.microblog.erikano.net \
| egrep -o '[^ ]*$' | cut -d'.' -f1 ) + 1
Had I still been hosting the DNS server myself, I would've turned this into a script and appended the entry as a TXT record directly and updated the CNAME to the new value using sed.
Actually, thank you for asking because I just realized what my next little project should be: Instead of the way I'm doing it now, I can selfhost a little DNS server which will be authorative over microblog.erikano.net while still hosting the DNS for the rest of erikano.net and my other domains where I have them now. The project will be written in Go since I have been wanting to make something in Go but didn't finish the other things I started writing in Go. I have no ETA for the microblog DNS selfhost server project because of work and current projects.
Hope I didn't misunderstand the question but if I did and you meant how to update the microblog when I'm out and about, the answer is I would need to use a web browser currently to manually update the records. When my own server has been written, I simply ssh to my VPS which hosts the server and run a cli tool I will name "mb" ("microblog") with my message as argument.

Never heard of that website, seems useful. Unless I am missing something, however, it seems that while the OpenBSD, NetBSD and DragonFlyBSD sources are up to date, the FreeBSD sources are out of date from 09-Dec-2013.

I disagree. I think the logo is nice, I think it looks ok even in small size, I don't think it unbalanced the NeXT machines when it was put on them, I think the colors are cute and the font is sharp.

Presence of a "-v" flag usually means verbose.

Too late now, too many comments in the thread. Does it matter who posted the thread anyway?
