Sales figures in: We have just received the sales figures for July and August for the Cocoon book. Not bad...not bad at all. Ok, we're not in the Steven King range yet..but let's say it's been worth it (already).

Iraq: The British government puts the Iraq Dossier online. Seems to me things are hotting up and this is one more step towards a certain attack.

PC and Airport DSL: My new DSL line runs into the DSL modem and then from there into the Apple Airport base station. The base station does all the hard work (PPoE etc.). My iBook connects to the base station using the inbuilt wireless card. Ok. Now what is the cheapest (and easiest) way to connect a PC (non-laptop) to all this? Either via a wireless card in the PC (easiest way but also expensive) or via a network solution (network card, hub). And if I go for the network - how do you connect all that? Help! I need a simple description of the network alterntative or a cheap wireless alternative. Later: Frank points me to this Apple document on setting up Airport networks. Thanks!

Blogging book out: The blogging book by Biz Stone is available. I tech-edited the book - so you should check it out :-).

Cocoon article: Javaworld have an article on Cocoon by Lajos Moczar from Galatea.

Morning call: Why is it that some mornings you just don't know where to start.....so much has happened and so many interesting things to comment on. DSL: I now have DSL at home! Way cool. No need to worry about dialing up and disconnecting any more. Now if only sharing Radio between a PC and an iBook was easier. Steven from Outerthought has restarted his weblog. Added. Ovidiu will be at the Cocoon event. Great news! Looks as though I will be the only non-Cocoon-developer there :-).
