Not complaining; just trying to be helpful. “A lot of the examples are out of date” was the usual comment. My standard response was to point out that since I wrote it right around the time the Internet bubble burst, many of the sites I used as examples had already disappeared by the time it was published. But I didn’t think that made the examples any less clear. Finally, in 2006 I had a strong personal incentive to update it. 1But as I reread it to see what I should change, I just kept thinking “This is all still true.” I really couldn’t find much of anything that I thought should be changed. 1 Halfoftheroyaltiesforthebookweregoingtoacompanythatnolongerexisted,anddoinganewedition meant a new contract—and twice the royalties—forme.

Record as much information as you can recall, such as schools attended, courses taken, jobs held, research projects undertaken.
