Discovered https://swtch.com/~rsc/. Always appreciate a good three letter username. He was mentioned here: A Cryptographic Near Miss:
Software engineering is what happens to programming when you add time and other programmers.
Obviously from Google if he says something like that.
Books!

Silicon Chip books
The good people at Silicon Chip are clearing out their old library, and I have just arranged to buy 43 of their old electronics books for $2 each. Bargain! The gory details are here.
Toilet light cover part 2
Just an update on my toilet light cover. My new screws arrived so I replaced the big (18mm) ones with some more appropriate smaller (10mm) ones. It’s now ready to go back in the roof, will do that soon.
Something Pretty Right: A History of Visual Basic
I read Something Pretty Right: A History of Visual Basic and found this interesting quote:
“They weren’t called ‘controls’ originally. Alan was going to call them ‘waldos’, named after remote manipulator arms. I couldn’t make sense out of that name, so I called them ‘gizmos’. Microsoft must have thought this name was too frivolous, so they renamed them ‘controls’.”
Web browser wish list
Apparently Amazon might be making a browser. Some features I would like in a web browser:
- Full text search over everything I’ve ever seen in my browser
- Image preview and browser for all images ever loaded in my browser
- Ability to download streaming media as a file
- Being able to use HTML tables like a spreadsheet (sort, edit/change/reference, row/col/block select, etc.)
My two cents
This, my friends, is my two cents. And you can not have it!
