I am just back from the Easter Holidays and have had a good two weeks for self-reflection.  In truth, I am feeling a bit exhausted despite the fact that I was supposed to have just had a two weeks’ holiday. So, I have decided to make a few changes.  Before I do, I would appreciate [...]

I have gotten two kind notes that the feed is screwy again, posting links multiple times. Who do I blame? Feedburner of course. I have solved the problem but I would love a nice way to get away from Feedburner. They are really a problem.

Guess what? McGraw Hill, abruptly canceled the book, shortly before its release was due. Apparently, this is how business in the United States is conducted. Shambolic, if you ask me.

Here’s what Barry has to say.

If you have been having difficulty accessing the site, my apologies.  The site has been down for part of  the day both yesterday and today.  We are working to fix the problem.  As a result, we have revered back to the old look and feel temporarily.
