Latin for Blogging

Those who want to blog in Latin may wish to use a special term for their blog -- ephemeris. Ephemeris means day book or diary or, simply, ephemeris.
Peter Sipes, an editor for Bolchazy-Carducci (publishers of Artes Latinae), has his own ephemeris named (presumably after a surfeit of books from his boss) "Vir cum pluteo pleno."

Vir=man, cum=with, pluteo=penthouse, shed; parapet; back-board; board; desk or bookshelf, pleno=full. I'm reasonably certain Sipes means bookshelf when he uses pluteo. (See Latin Dictionary.) On the (newly remodeled) Ancient/Classical History Forum we have been discussing the difficulty of learning Latin. This ambiguity is a good example of it. Latin has a more limited vocab. than English, so one Latin word = multiple English meanings.

I learned of this new blog from reading Classics super-blogger Debra Hamel's blogographos blog wherein she urges readers to buy a book for a friend at certain times of the year, specifically, the first week in January, April, July, and October. It's the first week of July, so, if you're interested you can check out her non-classical suggestions: Buy A Friend A Book. Of course, I'm sure she'd be thrilled if you bought a friend a copy of her book, Trying Neaira.

Every time I think about blogging I think about what Juvenal had to say. It's not very encouraging or polite, although it contains a grain of truth and is typical Juvenal, so I'm not going to translate it:

tenet insanabile multos scribendi cacoethes
