Obits: Leo Leonard of the Horse Palace
Leo Leonard of the Griffintown Horse Palace died last Friday. Alan Hustak also has a nice obit and the Gazette has a photo essay (or look it up full size if you’re subscribed). CTV even covered the obsequies.

I don’t know why, but even in the full sized I can see all of the content, and I’m not subscribed. I’ve never run into any kind of barriers when it comes to seeing any Gazette content whatsoever. Is this just me?

Philip, do you use various different computers and different browsers? As I understand it, the site keeps a cookie and after you’ve visited a certain number of times, you get this ugly green and white box blocking you from further browsing. I’ve seen it. I’m not stupidly banging my head against the site, it’s more that I follow bit.ly or ow.ly URLs from Twitter and then find myself back on the Gazette site, exceeding the limit.
But if you distribute your use of the site around different platforms, likely you’ll never hit your limit in any one browser.

That makes sense, I rarely use the site.

The Horse Palace Foundation is having an open house and general cleanup of the site in Leo’s honour this Saturday morning. Details here.

The paywall software the Gazette uses is called Press +. Google will provide you with a laughably easy workaround.
