Last day in August – time to generate the calendar for September! Step-daughter Belynda comes up today to spend the day with us at the fair.
No, really, I was looking for something practical when I ran into Learn Tetris in 21 Days [Link: http://www.lstud.ii.uib.no/~s977/darkside/tetris/ gone]. What a hoot! It’s a lot more likely you’ll master the game than, say “Learn C++ in 21 Days.”

Keep meaning to add Hopkinton, NH to my personal web page. [Ed: irony. 13 years later, when I go to update the post, the URL is no longer valid. The replacement URL is no longer valid. I had to Google it.]
Paul Graham, co-author of what is now Yahoo! Stores, on Beating the averages. Substitute FoxPro for Lisp and I agree with him.
Searching for remote control software for clients. NetOp Remote was the pick of this PC Magazine review. However, friends also recommend I check out Radmin from Famatech. Looks impressive!

Already got a couple of replies. Let’s see what it does for my sales rank. Probably nothing — that requires people to actually buy the book. All those folks already owned it.
Man, life on the bleeding edge hurts some times.
It looks like Robert X. Cringeley has figured out the ASP model in his most recent column. I saw it in action at http://www.BugCentral.com, and I believe.
