While the techies are trying to trump each-other by blogging about the riches of the coming Google Calendar (which I, of course, didn’t do just a few words ago – and I’m not into writing about tech either – and I’m not into music at all) I’ll bring you something that all those geeks won’t be typing into their calendars: the wonderful world of books. That’s right, books. Read it and weep in two ways, as you’ve just synched your calendar-with-one-entry (“To blog about Google Calendar”) to hell!

On a serious note — TO HELL! — here’s a really good link to a lot of downloadable books. You should care, simply because the formats one can download them in are multiple; everything from HTML to PDF and eBooks is the way of the walk, so go get. I recommend Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories about, and on the cases of, Sherlock Holmes.

Speaking of literature…I found this URL leading me to a good index on AJAX galleries. If you expect me to write about AJAX again, I’ll vomit. Anyway, I found a very simple AJAX gallery that’s worth your time if you want to UL a very simple gallery, and/or just upgrade your gallery one album at a time, just by using FTP: Minishowcase is the game, and you can download it here, as the supplier’s web site doesn’t work properly right now, for downloading, that is.

Today, I found the HP Easy Printer Care software. It helps you to keep your HP printers in check, and I like it – apart from one single detail: if you don’t have the IP addresses for your printers handy, you’ll lose track of which printer is which; mind you, we had quite a few. Another thing is that the application couldn’t find any printers that belonged to our ADSL-unites, no matter if I specified the IP address for one of them (and the most number of hops) manually.

Just got this tip off Peter; check out Brian Eno’s seminar on this page, available in audible and printable formats.
