First a big thank you to those who have hit the tip jar recently. You know who you are. Every bit is appreciated (even the person who sent me $1, from which I cleared a big $.67). Contributions are anonymous unless you tell me. Also, don't forget that cash isn't necessary. If you make your Amazon purchases by using that little Amazon Purchase link on the right, I get a small percentage and it doesn't cost you anything extra. Why let "the man" get all your cash?

Email is still the best way to make contact, send pointers, etc...but I have added identities on MSM and AIM. MSM is the same as my email: solomon =at= solomonia =dot= com and my AIM handle is SolomoniaBlog. I think most people use one of those two, no?

Also, I'm experimenting with setting up a chat room. I was trying to set up an IRC channel, but the trouble is that unless I can run a bot to hold the channel when I'm not there (which I can't do), there's not much point to it since I can't idle 24/7. (If that sounds like Greek to you, don't worry, IRC users will get it.)

I have set up a simple PHP-based chat room for the moment. You can join in by clicking here[never mind, it was fun, but not that useful]. Don't worry if you chat and I don't answer. I may just not be sitting at the computer.
