Welcome to our WebSite!

Welcome!

Living, as we do, far away from (most) family and (quite a few) friends, this site serves as a virtual community to keep us all (virtually) together.

In addition to the usual family picture torture chamber, there may well be something that interests non-family & not-yet-friends as well, with discussions on wine, food, and the good things in life. Also news, tools & tips, and even some culture...

Please feel free to participate. Welcome!

On a parallel website, something new: a SOAP server with public web services. I use 'em - why not you? On my .com site (ooooohhhh....) there now exists a thing called SOAP Central. Here, I wash with good 'ol country SOAP on my web services farm. Ah - anyway, check it out.

Book of the Week

Books
Having profiled Noam Chomsky recently, it is only fair that we give some thought to someone who has little hesitation in taking a pot-shot at Chomsky - or anyone (everyone?) else, for that matter.

I refer, of course, to Francis Wheen, and "How Mumbo-Jumbo Conquered the World". Read on....

Books
This week's book is a real gem - no great literary classic, but something to make life simpler, which is worth a lot of late. It's Data Crunching, by Greg Wilson - part of the Pragmatic Programmers series.
