"Completely different" in the sense that they come from different places and have different meanings...but the typographic difference is reflected only in certain specialized type (such as that designated for use in musical notation), and in people's handwriting, say, there'd be no difference. That is, as far as most people are concerned, they're the same symbol. But hey: maybe in some specialized situations, a different symbol is used for pounds (weight) than for number... - -- ...Jeff Norman The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.blogspot.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 9 Jun 2008 16:44:00 +0100 From: craigie* Subject: Re: Those livres are solid, Denarius On 09/06/2008, gaseous clay wrote: > > one time at band camp, craigie* (craigie@gmail.com) said: > > >actually, the 'hash' (#) is really called a 'nonet' and represents the > >dividing of a field into nine parts... > > so you're saying new haven should have been called the "nonet city"? > > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Haven,_Connecticut#Streetscape well, I never knew *that*... personally, i call the # an "octothorpe," courtesy or reading too much > of the telecom digest instead of studying while at colelge, but i > pronounce it "pound" or, occasionally, "hash". british telecom calls it > "square," iirc.

It does sound like I moved up at some point though. Also, a fairly hissy recording. I don't remember the a/c being on, but it does sound like it -- or the heat -- was and the rumble from it can be heard throughout. If someone wants to give this a shot at noise reduction, go for it! Forgive me for yelling for "Love Is What" at the start of the encores. There's a tape flip at the end of "Globe of Frogs" and I paused the recorder during the encore break. Robynbase has this gig on 10/26/1990 but my cassette label says 10/27/1990. Unfortunately, I can't find any record of the latter part of the Eye tour so I'm not 100% sure of the date but I hope I would have labelled the tape right back then...
