What I wish was different: -Carriage returns for lists (like this one) all got wrapped. -No comments; I didn’t realize they’d been left out until I was reading the book. -Some page headers mis-aligned. -Date format on cover; I could have fixed it via their import wizard but didn’t. -A dedication page or something; it launches right into content on the first page.
But overall, I’m extremely pleased. It’s less than ready for sale in Barnes and Noble, but it’s more than a simple printout. My photo thumbnails are all there, my impressions of Arizona from when I first moved here, my screenshots from Zyps development, even my entry from the night I first met my wife.
This is something I can leave behind for my grandkids to read. Makes me wish I’d been blogging for longer than 5 years.

BTW, I’m gonna call off Zyps physics/collision experimentation for now; I want to get fast/stable networking going in time for Desert Code Camp. I may not even mess with AreaOfInterest until after the camp, it depends what time allows for.

You take the e-mail I’ve been waiting on for 5 days now, the one I needed to plan life changes around, and you toss it in the spam folder?!
I will never love (a web app) again.
