Nobody can argue he led a full life at 90 years of age and so many books under his belt&#8212;but I&#8217;m sorry to see him go none the less. I especially enjoyed one of his recent collaborations with Stephen Baxter, Firestorm&#8212;I&#8217;d give it a re-read if I hadn&#8217;t just read it less than a [...]]]></description>

In short, by supplying a little environment variable when you start up Firefox (also works with Thunderbird), you can instruct [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First, let me state that I am a relative noob at working with JavaScript&#8212;and to be blunt about it, event-driven programming gives me a headache (on top of having to work with JavaScript at all, that is).
My most recent challenge was how to fit event handling into an object-oriented design approach; I wanted to load [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My blog&#8217;s feeling pretty neglected. I&#8217;ve gone past guilt now and just don&#8217;t even bother to look anymore; I was brought back to Earth by a nice fellow who goes by &#8216;Divide&#8217; who commented on one of my earlier posts about Linux font rendering (and is apparently a font pedant&#8212;like me).

We&#8217;ve now switched from Magma to Primus as our primary ISP. I can&#8217;t say the change has been either good or painless; there&#8217;s been more downtime with Primus in two weeks than there [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8230; But not because I&#8217;m spring cleaning. It&#8217;s been over a month since I&#8217;ve so much as touched the keyboard here&#8212;not that anyone&#8217;s noticed except me, feeling guiltier for every passing day. That isn&#8217;t to say that nothing&#8217;s happened; whether it&#8217;s worth sharing (or reading) is a different question altogether. I wonder lately whether I [...]]]></description>

The duo famous for turning the electronic music scene on its head in the 90&#8217;s is back&#8212;sort of. While the FSOL have released several new albums since their disappearance from the [...]]]></description>
