Testing something

[lq]Lorem ipsum
Cicero[/lq]
Alzarius, what does that translate to? I am guessing Cicero is a name and ipsum translated to "it" from latin, but that is all I could get with the on line translater.

A lot of content managers I've worked with have options to insert pages and pages of ipsum into a template. As the wikipedia article mentions, it's a danged handy way of isolating layout and page design from content.

As an aside, this only works because the words are plausible English phonemes--you couldn't insert (say) japanese text and get the same clear palette. Nor could you use ipsum to demonstrate a layout for a group of Japanese speakers, since they would find the ipsum text distracting and (probably) slightly uncomfortable.

"You switch careers and work the rest of your days as a competent, decently paid electrician" is basically my ultimate fantasy.

Electrician work is really not that mentally taxing. Physically is another matter though.
