- Making Software
Someone out there is writing a comprehensive quide to making software, stating from first principles. At present, there's only one chapter available, on how displays work (because almost all software invovles something being displayed to someone at some point, and without them, there'd be no software).

Bright spot of the week: I finally own a copy of the finest horror novel I have ever read: BANE, by Joe Donnelly. You have no idea how happy I am to have finally acquired a copy – I’ve been looking for one for half a decade, ever since I first read a friend’s in 1996, by which time, it was already out of print.
BANE is one of only two books to disturb me sufficiently that I had to put it down and find some human company for a while, just because I was so unsettled. You can probably find a copy for yourself through the same place I did.
