Another suggestion for Lotus engineers (probably do one a day until the flow stops). This time courtesy of Tom Quinn. Click image for full version:

Now, at risk of boring the majority of my readers more than I normally do, some more AppleTalk. The iPod is back to life. Just. The battery's average lifetime seems worryingly erratic to me. Turns out I'm not the only one. A search of the iPodLounge forums for "battery drain" brings back a whole lorra posts. I feel for the author of this one (and not just because his grammar is so poor):

I wish I had the guys name who said that they would replace it. I am so mad, I going back today, to try to get there attention(I am only 13 so they ingnore me because im not a person who buys expensive stuff there). I feel sorry for my Mom because shes taking me back and fourth from the mac store.

While we are talking about Apple, I want to thank David Frahm for this book he sent me. When he asked for my address to send me something not on my Wishlist I was a little apprehensive. There's nothing worse than pretending to like something somebody gave you when you'd prefer the cash. Hence the reason I dislike Christmas. However, this book probably would have been on the list had I known it existed. Thanks David.

One more thing: I finally got started on an article about a solution I promised more than a month ago. Just give me a few more days, I think it should be worth the wait...
