An argot (pron.: /ˈɑrɡoʊ/; French, Spanish, and Catalan for "slang") is a secret language used by various groups—including, but not limited to, thieves and other criminals—to prevent outsiders from understanding their conversations. The term argot is also used to refer to the informal specialized vocabulary from a particular field of study, hobby, job, sport, etc.

Errands are done for the day. Time to sit back, enjoy some music and read about Spring MVC and jqgrid.

Here's a bit of the 80's to get the day started.

Enjoy!

I was watching this silly show the other night, Ghost Adventures, (give me a break...we all have our guilty pleasure shows), and they did an episode at the Tor mansion, the Robinson Jeffers estate. During the show, they recited his poem, "Inscription For A Gravestone".

Lots of rain yesterday, and more in the forecast today. Great day to finish unpacking.
