I haven’t even finished it, and I don’t think I’m going to have any time in the immediate future to do any quality reading. Bummer. But from what I’ve read so far, it’s Required reading & reptiles

How it works – or doesn’t work

I’m much better off now that the good weather is starting to get here. What a lot of folks don’t recall is that hard freeze, even ice, in February means that we’re headed into a hot summer. Free is an operative word, too. The way this site will work when I finish up the details How it works – or doesn’t work

Tweaking and geeking + statistics

I wonder what this does to me, all this close-in work on computer screen, the late nights, the “read me” files that were all written by geeks? Makes life amusing.

If it goes like it’s supposed to, sometime late Monday night, I’ll pop About to roll out the new server
