If You Are Writing a Programming Book ! I just bought the PHP Developer's Cookbook by Hughes and Zmievski and, Guys, Where the frack*** do I download the code?  There's no cd and I have been all through the table of contents w/o seeing anything about it.  Bloody well frustrating and as good as this book is I won't recommend it to someone else without that... 12:22:54 PM

Radio as a Specification Tool Well I just wrote my first technical specification for a team development project using Radio for a fast paced project with team members located here: Boston (Me) Boston (Designer) Canada (Algorithms) System Components (Bombay) It'll be interesting to see how it works.  3 out of 4 of us are bloggers across two different platforms (Radio and Movable Type). Quick Impressions It's fast and that's good The lack of formatting helps me focus on the content not the look and feel Since it's in a data center already I can just link to it in an email and not worry about sending content which is cool I'm pleased.  Specs always, always, always is about as pleasant as, well, eating dried toads so getting out a simple spec for the application level help system in about 1/2 hour was great.  Not worrying about formatting and emailing out a word file was even better 6:14:15 AM
