Found the problem in the latest sim run. Progress is slllloooooow but at least it's not absent altogether.

I read two newspaper-things that were not comics yesterday. They reminded me why I don't do that more often. One was a whiney column about how some building should be turned into art studios because it would otherwise house computer people, who are rich, boring, and lifeless and should therefore not occupy a desirable building. The other was a followup about a dancer who couldn't afford, on her own, to attend the prestigious chance-of-a-lifetime program she had been admitted to, but whose tuition was PAID IN FULL by a pair of strangers (venture capitalists - computer types) who heard her story and wanted to help. The two made an interesting juxtaposition. I can't help thinking that if the ballet student and the painter were to get together, they wouldn't like each other much. I know which one I'm cheering for. And in future I'll stick to the comics.

Huh. I have just learned that if I don't end my LJ entry with a carriage return, LJ will delete the period at the end of my last sentence.

Odd.

But not always. It's very repeatable using this entry as the test case, but an entry containing just the word "testing" (with and without a trailing period, no trailing CR) didn't show the behavior.
