I must say that after 2 months of being the Editor of the Gazette, I am
|
|
still having fun, and judging from the mail I think you guys, our readers,
|
|
are too. John Fisk is right--the Gazette is a lot of work, and worth every bit
|
|
of it.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Thanks to all our authors, not just the ones above, but also those who wrote
|
|
giving us their tips and tricks and making suggestions. Thanks also to our
|
|
new mirror sites. I get more mail about mirrors than just about anything,
|
|
except maybe readers wanting the Gazette to be available as one big file.
|
|
We are providing that this month along with the separate page format. (See
|
|
The Whole Damn Thing in the Table of Contents.) Doing the Gazette
|
|
in multi-file format is just the easiest way for me to build the magazine.
|
|
I've tried to be responsive to all mail and reasonable requests. If I missed
|
|
you, send your mail again, and I'll get back to you.
|
|
<P>
|
|
The most important thing I'm working on outside of work these days is
|
|
definitely "not Linux". I'm making a baby quilt for a friend of
|
|
mine in Houston. The baby is 2 months old now, and if I don't get it
|
|
finished soon, it will be too small for her to use. The geometry, as well the
|
|
art, of
|
|
quilting has always fascinated me--must have to do with being a math
|
|
person.
|
|
<P>
|
|
If you would like some personal information about me, clicking on my
|
|
name below will take you to my home page. It's not very jazzy at the moment,
|
|
but I'm looking for the time to fix it up.
