Da sieht man mal, was für ein intensiver Kalendernutzer ich bin. Mir war noch garnicht aufgefallen, daß iCal in Apples OS 10.5 eine Marcus-Bains-Linie anzeigt:
Was die Frage aufwirft: Wer zum … ist (oder war) Marcus Bains?
Update: Ich habe doch noch die richtigen Google-Suchbegriffe gefunden. Hier ist die Geschichte von Marcus Bains (1), (2):
The author got drunk in a pub one day, met a Markus Bains who explained a theory on displaying time which turned into this nice feature.
So einfach. Was mich dann wiederum an diese Begebenheit aus dem Anhalter erinnert:
And then, one Thursday, nearly two thousand years after one man had been nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change, one girl sitting on her own in a small cafe in Rickmansworth suddenly realized what it was that had been going wrong all this time, and she finally knew how the world could be made a good and happy place. This time it was right, it would work, and no one would have to get nailed to anything.
Sadly, however, before she could get to a phone to tell anyone about it, a terribly stupid catastrophe occurred, and the idea was lost forever.
Schön, daß es auch Happy-Ends gibt. 😉
