Folks,
I'm probably the last person in the world to realize this, but
I attended a science writer's conference last week, where I
learned that one GREAT way to keep up with what is going on
in the world is to subscribe to the RSS feeds from your
favorite news sources. (I thought this might be pertinent
to those of you who are a certain age, if you know what I mean.)
In any case, I installed the Wizz RSS News Reader, which
is available as an add-on feature to my Firefox browser and
I have already figured out how to add a couple of hours of
time-wasting into my busy schedule. Truly amazing, and WAY
better that using bookmarks! Absolutely painless and easy to
install and use.
To that end, I have updated my own web page with an RSS
feed so people can easily see when content changes
on the IDL Tips page. Just point your news accumulator
to the main page to subscribe.

Cheers,
David
P.S. I've almost made up my mind to get a cell phone. I
wonder what else is out there I have been missing. :-)
