Nice plan. Also, if you happen to have put one of your passwords into the Clipboard (by way of Copy or Cut) it may serve your long-term interests not to be sharing that.

Nothing is on my clipboard now as I just started this computer to fix the other computer. However, I use Yankee Clipper that can save multiple clips and has a boiler plate file for permanent save. A single clip is pretty useless to me. Yankee Clipper is like my second memory.

Work stuff - Trying to ascertain why correspondence sent to Nena was not being answered; apparently no one at the company had heard of a Nena, even though I had a letter from her written on the company’s letterhead.

A half finished equity assignment I’m doing on the sly at work:

There is a split of legal opinion on this issue because of the differences in wording between s23C(1)© and s23C(2) of the CA. Prima facie, a contract for valuable consideration to assign a subsisting equitable interest would require writing under s23C(1)©. However, a contract for valuable consideration creates a constructive trust between the seller and the buyer if the contract is specifically enforceable, as is the case here between Andrew and Michael. So it may be that the creation of the constructive trust negates the requirement of writing in s23C(1)© due to the wording of s23C(2).  
This was examined in Oughtred v Inland Revenue Commissioner where Lord Radcliffe, in minority at 227-8, sad that an oral agreement in these circumstances gives rise to a constructive trust, which would invoke s23C(2) of the CA. The majority in this case did not speak to this issue; due to the facts of the case they decided based on an earlier transaction. In Neville v Wilson (FIND THE NAME) endorsed Lord Radcliffe’s view. This was approved in Baloglow v Knostanidis in New South Wales, and in the High Court of Australia in Halloran v Minister of Advertising National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 .

Let me see:

Let A\_1 be the part of A^{\#\#} that i^{\#\#} maps into  
B. Then in view of the above proposition, A is effectively dense in A\_1 ,  
so i^{\#\#} maps (A\_1) into \ecl(A).\epf

Oh is that all. It was a quote from a draft written by a collaborator. I didn’t understand his argument and asked for elucidation. Got it later in the day. You probably don’t understand it either. But it turned out that the above proposition had been omitted from his draft. You will all be happy to know that I now understand it.

BTW, hitting ctl-V had no effect. I used shift-insert to insert it.
