The estimated ship date is October 6, 2006 and the estimated delivery date is October 16, 2006. I wonder if it'll actually take that long. I guess I can put off ordering my 4 GB RAM kit from RAMJet for awhile. MAC PRO,CTO 3.00 GHz Quad Xeon 1GB 667 DDR2 FB DIMM ECC-2x512 ATI Radeon […]

Version 8.5 is now available. $30 (for those upgrading from 8.0) gets you code folding, a better preferences window, a renamed Glossary, and, uhhhhh… we'll see.

So Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter, has died of a stingray tine to the heart. So be it - live by the sword, die by the sword they say. His wife, I heard, hadn't yet heard the news because she was backpacking somewhere remote. I didn't have a problem when Steve Irwin took his newborn […]

Question: How will you spend your Labor Day? My Answer: Watching golf, watching my wife paint, staining and varnishing, and cleaning up. I did electrical work earlier today to remove some track lighting and install some pendant lighting (I think that's what it's called).
