For his diligence in conquering the Technology Dragon, Paul received his knighthood in the wee hours of today...Knight Exemplar of the XML Order, keeper of the sacred techno-documentaria, and defender of sociodigitally challenged academia.
The honor, bestowed upon Sir Paul, was accomplished via a virtual ceremony during which laptops in the royal palace successfully installed Instant Messaging and conferred the honors electronically. Only Key Board members were present to witness the event. Elements of the TOD (Tops of Desk) were not present due to previous sleep mode engagements.
...and the Dragon smiled.(Happy April Fools Day!)
