Friday Miscellany

• Relax -- no cat picture today.  :-)
• So I'll confess I was feeling a little smug earlier this week when CMP announced that they were dissolving Software Development magazine just four days after I posted my bit about the increasing irrelevance of such publications.  What I didn't say in my rant is how saddened I am by these indications that an era is ending.  I like developer magazines.  I published my first article before I had a drivers license.  I'm going to miss them.  I suppose it's more accurate to say that I already miss them.
• My book is finally real.  I received the first copies yesterday.  I'm not sure when it will show up in bookstores, but I'm guessing fairly soon.
• This doesn't really count as me getting Slashdotted, but kinda.
