    First things first.. we can't have hungry people in here, so erm.. you said pumkin pie... now that's a coincidence I've baked some in preparation for the DDLM... you are welcome to try some if you like...*presents pie*

    That image already looks impressive. At least I have an idea of what a sundial in graphic form could look like. Dinn was telling me that now all you need is a little bit of sunlight to cast the shadow from the gnomon.

    Something that you already know, but what I put here for those who are, like myself, interested in etymology:

    Gnomon is Greek for indicator (lit. one who discerns). It's derived from the word "gignoskein", which means "to come to know".
