"Annoyances is about having an attitude that allows you to take charge of Windows, customize it, solve problems, and improve your experience with your computer," says Karp. "I've always been interested in user interfaces, making computers easier for people, the design of computers, the design of machines in general. And on the web site I started to see firsthand the problems people were having. I read a lot of the comments, the things Microsoft never sees, the things Microsoft doesn't pay any attention to--the users." Packed with creative and seldom-documented ways to quickly identify and fix a particular annoyance or customize Windows for individual needs, "Windows Me Annoyances" is the definitive, independent resource for dealing with crashes, unintelligible error messages, unwanted icons, and more. Readers can quickly identify annoyances and choose among suggested solutions, adapting Windows to their needs rather than the other way around. In an ideal world, an operating system is a collection of software that handles a computer's "dirty work" invisibly, quickly, and most of all, painlessly. For many of us, however, Microsoft Windows exists outside this ideal world. We are annoyed by "personalized menus" that keep changing, icons we don't use cluttering up our "workspace," periodic crashes, unintelligible error messages, and inadequate documentation to help us figure it all out. "Your computer should not be a 'black box', something for which you must adjust the way you work and think," says Karp. "It's a hands-on, flexible tool with many capabilities and limitations. Humans design computers and the software that runs on them; so computers, by their very nature, are imperfect and often troublesome machines." In "Windows Me Annoyances," Karp provides the insider information needed to overcome the many Windows annoyances and limitations. Whether you're looking to finally solve a nagging problem, dramatically improve system performance, or customize the interface to better suit your work habits, the "Windows Me Annoyances" solution-oriented format makes finding information and implementing solutions easy and pain free. Thanks to the thorough and relevant documentation on the registry, Windows Scripting Host, and Windows built-in networking capabilities, customizing and improving Windows Me is easier than ever. "Instead of being intimidated by the software, you have to take an active roll in fixing the problem. And an active roll in fixing the problem is what Annoyances is all about," explains Karp. Karp originally created his annoyances.org site in early 1995 while using the beta version of Windows 95. His best selling book "Windows Annoyances (1997) compiled the information his web site users found invaluable on Windows 95. His second book "Windows 98 Annoyances" (1998) was also a bestseller. "Windows Me Annoyances" is a completely new volume, containing more solutions, undocumented secrets and troubleshooting information, but retaining the clear straightforward style that have made his web site--and his first two books--so popular. What the critics have said about previous editions: "When Windows 95 was released, one source that many of us used was not a book, but a home page called Windows 95 Annoyances Home Page. The designer, David Karp, merely found out what problems users were having and put answers on this home page. O'Reilly and Associates saw the wisdom of this approach and has just published Windows Annoyances...by none other than David Karp." --"The Washington Post," August 1997 "One common complaint about Windows 98 is that it comes with no manuals...for folks who want more than the basics, and don't mind messing around under the hood, Windows 98 Annoyances by David A. Karp is an excellent choice. It helps you cope with the many quirks of Win98...Annoyances also offers tons of convenience--and performance-enhancing tips."--Stephen H. Wildstrom, "Newsweek," Nov 23, 1998 "Intermediate to advanced users who find dumbed-down Windows 98 help books less than useful, are in for a pleasant surprise. Windows 98 Annoyances goes beyond rehashed tips for beginners to take a serious look at the new operating system and some of its more exasperating "features." Despite the title, the author David A. Karp spends little time dwelling on the negative, preferring a if it's wrong, let's fix it" approach. Karp's style is friendly and witty without getting in the way of the information. I thought I knew a lot of Windows 98 tricks and workarounds; Windows 98 Annoyances made me feel like a neophyte. If you're fine with Windows the way it is--and you have the patience of a saint--you don't need this book. But if you've ever gritted your teeth while Windows 98 started searching your floppy drive for no apparent reason, this could be the best $25 you've ever spent." --Jon Jacobi, "PC World," Nov 1998 "For anyone starting out with Win95, or those who have considered tossing their PC out the window as a consequence of trying to use it, this is the book to buy--a truly invaluable tool." --J.R. Griffin, Contributing Editor, "The Missouri Review" "Windows 98 Annoyances pays for itself in time saved, frustration avoided, and satisfaction gained." --Marc Dacey, Toronto Computes!, January 1999 An article by the author, "Fixing the Search Tool in Windows Me and Windows 2000,"can be found online at: http://windows.oreilly.com/news/winmeannoy_0301.html Chapter 2, "Basic Explorer Coping Skills," is available free online at: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/winmeannoy/chapter/ch02.html For more information about the book, including Table of Contents, index, author bio, and samples, see: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/winmeannoy/ For a cover graphic in jpeg format, go to: ftp://ftp.ora.com/pub/graphics/book_covers/hi-res/059600060x.jpg Windows Me Annoyances By David A.

Most Internet users require no more than a slight familiarity with DNS, the Domain Name System, on which they rely each time they use email or surf the Web. Yet DNS and BIND are the fundamental building blocks of the Internet as we use it, and establishing and maintaining a workable DNS configuration is an increasingly complex task with which system administrators wrestle regularly. "DNS and BIND" was the first book to be devoted to the topic of DNS and has long been considered the de-facto "bible" on the subject. According to author Cricket Liu, the fourth edition introduces more new material than any previous edition. Says Liu, "The IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) has been working hard to add new features and functionality to DNS, including dynamic update, NOTIFY, incremental zone transfer, transaction signatures, the DNS Security, and support for IP version 6. And, consequently, the Internet Software Consortium has put an enormous amount of work into a brand new version of BIND, BIND 9, which supports all the new IETF standards. This book covers the new DNS standards, as well as BIND 9." The new edition of "DNS and BIND" thoroughly covers both BIND 8 and 9, and includes a chapter on security to help administrators secure their names servers and zone data, as well as a long section on Windows 2000. Security is a timely topic, explains Liu, in view of recent, increasing attacks on BIND name servers. Authors Albitz and Liu are among the foremost experts on DNS and BIND. Paul Albitz is a software engineer for Hewlett-Packard, and has ported BIND to HP-UX. Cricket Liu is a former hostmaster of hp.com, one of the largest domains on the Internet. He is now Director of DNS Product Management for VeriSign Global Registry Services. "DNS and BIND, 4th Edition" is essential reading for all administrators involved with DNS on a daily basis or anyone with an interest in DNS and how the Internet works. What critics and readers said about previous editions: "To learn more about DNS Configuration, the best book around is 'DNS and BIND' from the O'Reilly nutshell series."--Laura Wonnacott, "Infoworld," Feb 5, 2001 "I have been using it on an almost daily basis. This is an excellent, educational, USEABLE book. I recently got a job at an ISP, and it seems like 75% of my work revolves around DNS. I really need to learn and know DNS and BIND. DNS problems are often subtle and difficult to track down, and I am using this book on a daily basis to help me learn my job. A big 'Thank you' to Paul Albitz and Cricket Liu."--DocFilter, Dec 2000 "Yet another great book from O'Reilly! 'DNS and BIND' went way beyond my needs, providing a complete reference. As all O'Reilly books, 'DNS and BIND' is written in a logical and organized manner. All concepts are clearly explained, with no shortage of diagrams, and configuration examples are plentiful...a very useful resource that I recommend to anyone twisted enough to have more than a passing interest in DNS and BIND."--Jamie Susitna, Linux Users Group, Dec 2000 "This is one of the first books I had in my collection and is perhaps the best work O'Reilly ever published. 'DNS and BIND' is written about the BIND (UNIX) version of DNS but much of the info pertains to both the NT and the UNIX versions. You will find many examples to show you how things should be set up. Even a beginner can quickly become a DNS expert after reading this book."--www.mcseguide.com, March 2000 "I consider this book to be essential documentation for anybody who is responsible for a domain."--Adrian Wontroba, "C Vu," September 1997 "If you're going to set up a DNS Server, save yourself some headaches and get yourself a copy of the definitive book of the subject, 'DNS and BIND.'"--"Windows Sources," February 1995 Chapter 11, "Security," is available free online at: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/dns4/chapter/ch11.html An article by the author may be found at: http://sysadmin.oreilly.com/news/dnsandbind_0401.html For more information about the book, including Table of Contents, index, author bio, and samples, see: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/dns4/ For a cover graphic in jpeg format, go to: ftp://ftp.ora.com/pub/graphics/book_covers/hi-res/0596001584.jpg DNS and BIND By Paul Albitz & Cricket Liu 4th Edition, April 2001 ISBN 0-596-00158-4, 601 pages, $44.95 (US) order@oreilly.com 1-800-998-9938 http://www.oreilly.com # # # O'Reilly is a registered trademark of O'Reilly & Associates, Inc.

Who's going to YAPC in Montreal? Anyone interested in grad school--MS in Internet Engineering? I'll be happy to pitch the program I'm in. And depending on many factors which have not yet manifested, I *might* be teaching there next year. Unfortunately for most of you, it's in Vermont, but if you've got the money to commute 21 times, it's a good program.

As far as location, Hooters is straight out in my book, but I'm willing to go to a "sports" bar. Many PMs meet in a library or some sort of conference room, which allows them to plug in laptops, give speeches, etc. Not that we are anywhere near that far yet! Just a thought. Also, I may be in town May 13th if anyone wants to exchange keys in person.

Hartford's first meeting was in a local restaurant, of roughly the same ilk as a Bennigan's; most of their meetings since have been in the conference room at someone's office. Albany and Hudson Valley almost always meet at a regional chain restaurant for which I can think of no analog in Jax (same class of food/prices as Bennigan's, etc., but calmer atmosphere; much quieter than a sports bar). New York almost always meets in a bar. Boston does when it's a "social" meeting, and then they have separate tech meetings in an office conference room. I'm even less likely to be there June 2 than I am May 26 (that's a class weekend), so it doesn't really matter to me. I may be down that way in October. But no promises. j Jax.PM Moderator's Note: This message was posted to the Jacksonville Perl Monger's Group listserv.

It's probably > cheaper ($85 for all three days) Yes, but one is pleasure (YAPC) and one is work (WebCT) :( I have had several incarnations here at FCCJ (Webmaster, Data Security Specialist, Systems Programmer (E-Systems Developer) and now Lead E-Systems Developer (tried for Director of Advanced Technology but I guess I was pushing it to hard :) My main duties are to keep the two distance learning server functioning and to play as much Unreal Tounement as I can stand before my brain melts away into mush... %) (how do you make a crazy emoticon?) > for that weekend.

I threw the Hooters thing out there to get a feel for the crowd; some I suppose are agreeable by not 'voting'. We could use my conference room at FCCJ if need be. I am not sure we will ever 'be ready' for a techie meeting - what with the traffic I've seen (or lack thereof) on the group m'domo list. As far as meeting at my house - my wife said "No problem - tell'em to bring sleeping bags..." > Also, I may be in town May 13th if anyone wants > to exchange keys in person. As far as keys go - I am trying to be as incompatible as possible - what with using a Mac and all :) Besides, like J mentioned, how do we really know it's you and not some 6th Day clone? -Sneex- :] Jax.PM Moderator's Note: This message was posted to the Jacksonville Perl Monger's Group listserv.
