• Be e-Hercule Poirot

  December 13th, 2003 | Tags: Tech

  I’m a fan of Agatha Christie mysteries with Miss Marple, Hercule Poirot (he’s Belgian not French, darnit), and Tommy and Tuppence. Here’s an opportunity to get involved with a mystery through a series of emails, instant messenger, and Web pages as explained in A Whodunit for the Digital Age.

  Though I use an online dictionary and WordWeb on a regular basis, I still count on my trusty paperback and hard cover dictionaries (yes, I have more than one as I had to have one at work, at home, and got a couple as gifts). If your dictionary is like my oldest and well-worn dictionary from [...]

• Eats, Shoots and Leaves

  December 4th, 2003 | Tags: Writing

It can’t be the latter because of the comma placement. But then again, this is an example of how incorrect punctuation can [...]

• Multiple Versions of Internet Explorer

  November 21st, 2003 | Tags: web design

  When IE 6.0 came out, designers and others were wanting a way to run multiple versions of IE on one computer. Microsoft set it up so that only one could be running. No more!
