Fellow Shadow watchers:
The following email came to me recently so
naturally I eagerly followed up the recommended URL.

Extract:
by Oscar Falconi
If you're planning to buy or construct a sundial, you should read this
first: It is NOT possible to have a more accurate sundial than the one
you will build from the computer
printout we generate from your own Latitude, Longitude, and Time Zone.
The angle of each and every timeline on the dial (the sundial's face)
must be accurately known and
plotted or else gross time errors will be introduced. If your surface is
NOT horizontal (such as a wall, monument, or memorial), just send us the
compass direction the wall is
facing, along with its forward or backward tilt, and in a few days you'll
receive all the construction and sundial angles. Complete instructions
are included on how to use this data
to construct and set up the WORLD'S MOST ACCURATE SUNDIAL.

Dear me! All this time we've been making inaccurate junk without
realising it!

Happy New True Millennium to you all
