October 16th, 2003 |My tough as nails review of Writer’s Market 2004 has hit the Absolutewrite.com shelf. OK, it isn’t political. It’s hard to write a review on a book that refreshes itself every year.

Go Global
October 16th, 2003 |Alan K’necht has written about three types of Web sites for reaching a global audience in Think Beyond - Think Global from Digital Web Magazine. It’s not possible or even necessary to go all out for a international Web site. It depends on the purpose of the site and the audience’s needs, of course. I have [...]

Book Recall
October 15th, 2003 |Yes, there is a recall on a book! I get the CPSC recalls via email and couldn’t help but read this one. Candle and Soap Making For Dummies Instruction Book Recalled because one of the instructions in the book could potentially burn. Only 5,400 units are being recalled, so it’s not exactly a best seller.

U Must Understand Unicode
October 12th, 2003 |Joel wrote another excellent entry and this one is on The Absolute Minimum Every Software Developer Absolutely, Positively Must Know About Unicode and Character Sets (No Excuses!). Thank goodness, I am not a developer, I don’t have time to encode this article. But if I had the time, I would.

Quick Tips for Spam-free Blog
October 12th, 2003 |I’ve been doing a lot of comment deleting lately. Oh no, I didn’t delete your wonderful and legitimate comments since you’re reading this otherwise as a spammer you’d ignore this and go right to spamming the comments. Instead, I’m deleting garbage comments from spammers. It was bound to happen. They always get a little smarter with [...]

Confessions of a Struggling Actor
October 12th, 2003 |It’s odd that I am putting this in my blog, but I like to point out non-techie and non-writer related things on occasion. Dave Lankford is an actor with a blog. This is the first real blog (in other words, regularly and recently updated) I’ve seen of an actor’s… well, except for Wil Wheaton, but [...]

McAfee Battle Part II
October 8th, 2003 |We contacted tech support again and now we’re spending a lot of time cleaning out the registry per these instructions. This is much more dangerous than what we did yesterday… but it’s the only way we’re going to get its claws off the computer. Still can’t get work done since everything is on the sick computer [...]

Fighting an Anti-Virus Program
October 7th, 2003 |Of all things to battle relating to virus, I’m at war with McAfee. Since the one year of updates was up, I clicked on Purchase to renew for a year. Nothing happened. Went to the Web site and signed up for another year and it tells me a new version is out. So I went [...]
