Back on Sunday - with new posts and matrial. I've been updating my home systems to Office 2003 and doing some hardware updates - primarily tweaking XP pro on my two machines and adding a wireless keyboard and mouse to the Dell LANBOSS running my main work. The keyboard is quite nice and makes blogging a real pleasure. So now with some more time I should be able to update the blog a little more often.

Cole’s Notes & Substack: Something New Is in the Ink “Never pick a fight with people who buy ink by the barrel.” That was the old rule of the press. Today, the barrels are digital, the presses run on servers, and the advice is simpler: never pick a fight with someone who has a Substack.

I am bringing an issue to your attention that has been causing confusion lately. My name is quite common and shared by many people worldwide. While it's always interesting to see how many other Cole Coopers are out there, it can also lead to confusion. The primary issue is that my Gmail address, colecoop@gmail.com, has become a catch-all for people trying to contact other Cole Coopers. When someone with a similar name gives out a slightly different email address, sometimes that email ends up in my inbox instead.
