- Note This is the last post to my old RSS feed or Radio site. Wahoo! BlogX is now my primary software. I think this is good enough. You can get to the old homepage here, and all the comments, etc, are still live there - however I won't be adding new entries. |

- I meant to mention in my previous post: Thanks, all, for your comments in my post about crime writing. My to-read shelf is filling up fast! I found a neat local bookstore, Prime Crime, which happened to be a whole block away from the Bridgehead I tend to show up in after work to read for a bit. They carry nothing but mystery and crime books, and while their selection tends more towards mystery than crime (and their clientele tends more towards 60s than 20s! |

- Now reading: Tourist Season, Carl Hiassen I promise this will be my last post about notebooks. So I bought a Moleskine address book, because I wanted to have an address book that will last me decades, and because I wanted to compare the Moleskine construction to the Cavallini that I recommended earlier. There's definitely a difference -- the Moleskine is pretty much a hardcover book, the pocket at the back is cloth instead of paper-sided, the binding is very well-done, and the paper is a little higher-quality. For something with the permanance of an address-book, it's perfect. |

- In a go-slow economy, CIOs are under pressure to leave no old assumptions unexamined, including their choice of database systems. As ubiquitous, 24 x7 e-business and demand for instantly updated information only heighten the focus on good database planning, CEOs and CFOs are questioning if it's worth paying steep licensing fees and support costs. |

- I still find it a rare exception when a mobile Web technology proves useful. Generally, it's easier to make a call ("Can I get a table for two at 9pm tonight?"), ask a stranger ("Do you know where I can get a cab?"), or simply wait until I get home ("I wonder if it will rain tomorrow?"). |
