Finally updated my Cross Country bike trip reports from a trip taken back in 1999. I had put the html together quickly and it is very basic. The major flaw was that there was no easy way to navigate sequentially through the reports. I modified a perl script to put some links at the top of the page and put "Previous", "Next" at the bottom. The reports still get some traffic as there is a link to them from the Adventure Cycling Journals page.

Slashdot has posted Questions posed to Donald Knuth, author of The Art of Programming at a recent talk by him.

O'Reilly has posted a chapter from Richard Stallman's book Free as in Freedom. He is one of the more colorful computer geeks around.
