For all you Linux gamers out there, Steam will halt support for Steam on distributions with old glibc.
To check if you're affected, run ldd --version in the Terminal.

I submitted my code fix as a PR on Github to at least address the Diaspora issue.
As for the Hubzilla one, I can't figure out where or how that would be fixed in Friendica. It may be something Hubzilla needs to handle on their end when it parses BBcodes and encounters one like [class]...[/class] that isn't in it's own set.

I think that the main tree in this Kaapse bos (Cape forest) is the European or common beech. Alas I am not very knowledgeable on the subjects of plants and trees.
(The name Kaapse bos was given to the area in 1750 by its new owner, mr Hendrik Swellengrebel, who had been governor of the (Dutch) Cape Colony. He found these woods similar to the ones behind Table Mountain near Cape Town, it seems.)

Despite reading a fair bit of Christie, this is my first Miss Marple. I can't say I'm impressed. The plot feels overly contrived, especially the lengths Christie goes to in order to manufacture the titular aspect (i.e. the body in the library). The fact that she needs to add a foreword explaining it says that there are problems with the concept.
For me, the biggest problem is that Miss Marple is barely in it. I'm not sure if this is typical or not for Miss Marple mysteries, but I found it annoying, especially in comparison to the Hercule Poirot stories. Poirot is central to the plot, leading the reader through the various discoveries and twists, and then POW, at the end, the grand reveal. In this, Miss Marple sits on the sidelines sipping tea with a smug look on her face because she solved the mystery half-way through the book, and she's waiting for you to catch up. As I said, annoying.
