FYI, the FTP server will be down for about 2 weeks.

Sigh. It never ends. I think I will add a chapter on weak collections and ephemerons to the second volume of the Fundamentals book. As if having a chapter on optimization wasn't enough risk of having to write a third volume already...

Now I have two editors working in parallel. They are doing a great job of keeping me busy, which is good. Just today, I rewrote about 25 pages so far. I managed to make some progress at the leading edge, too. The draft is 344 pages now. Moving along...

Check it out... using a VHS recorder as tape backup with no additional hardware. Up to 130mb/hour of tape! The last hack here is amazing...

You know, in some countries there's major paranoia about swine flu. Don't go out, buy tamiflu, buy masks, cancel schools and large events, impose mandatory vacations, etcetera. Is that reaction reasonable? Let's see...

I didn't put out a notice for the new versions of Assessments. So... I fixed a small problem with resource failure notifications, an issue with one test that improperly scanned for the presence of optional code, and deleted a subclass of the evaluation context. I made the design decision that, in an evaluation context, the evaluation itself should be subject to a policy. I will create a couple evaluation policies later.
What about the to do list? I want to add a new checklist evaluator that sorts checklists / testcases by bundle and package. I also plan to add some (simple!!!) extensions to the RB. Finally, I want to redo how failures and errors leave the evaluation result window frozen while waiting on a semaphore. Hopefully I will feel inspired later this month. Nevertheless, the book still has priority over Assessments enhancements right now.

I just published an update for the Hash Analysis Tool. I deleted some dead code. Also, I temporarily disabled the block count tests because they can fail for ad-hoc data sets.

So, the Fundamentals book now has figures. I had to take a few screenshots, and I noticed a few things.

Finally, I can feel it. I am getting close to finishing the first volume of the Fundamentals book. The draft reached 330 pages today, and it's growing very quickly. I should point out that the book will include the first printed material about the Hash Analysis Tool and Assessments. In particular, the Fundamentals book will cover (some of) their sophisticated use of polymorphism. I think the book should be done at 400 pages or so.
Gotta go... I need to write some more now.
Update: 332 pages now, and with figures.
