It’s come to my attention that some of you reading this on a feed don’t want to miss the little “Quick Hits” links up in the sidebar, where I stick stories I think others might be interested in, but about which I don’t have a whole lot of deep thoughts to add. At the risk […]

Those of you who read this site via an RSS reader have presumably not been getting any of the posts I’ve put up since the redesign.  I just got around to redirecting the old feeds to the new location, but just in case, you may want to point your readers directly to here.

I’m getting set to do a redesign and relaunch of this website and blog, and I’m thinking it’s time to bid farewell to “Notes from the Lounge” and rechristen the enterprise with a title more fitted to its content. That’s a sufficiently personal thing that I’ll probably end up having to come up with a […]

For instance. .RAR files and .CBR files are basically both just RAR archives, but I want the former to open with the appropriate extractor, while the […]
