Think I'd better let you guys know that I've just located a software disc I'd thought was lost in my move last summer (and was unwilling to replace when my subsequent research turned up a sticker price of $60). This recent boon enables me to access all of the writing I did in the first months of my original computer, “Kate Jr.”[ 1 ]. Back then I had never even heard the term “open source”, and had eagerly embraced whatever came bundled with that pre-class-action MS operating system, grateful I did not have to buy any additional software in order to get back to work.

I'm discovering that there are quite a few titles that never made it onto paper (before I went online). Some of them are worth uploading to SPR. This is why the supposedly “complete” epoch _In A Rib_ is suddenly having all these additions made.

If I continue to find a whole lot more of these, I'll replace the “under construction” banner at SPR beside the _In A Rib_ link and then announce here when that epoch is finally (again) “closed”. (It's too soon to tell one way or the other, but the one I pasted above today felt like one-too-many for me to maintain TCB silence on the subject.)

I named my first computer “Kate Junior” in honor of my then-pseudonym “Kate Logan,” since she was purchased in 1999 solely to replace a dead word processor. (I could no longer compose effectively by pen.) I quickly replaced that pseudonym with “Sugarpie Rabbit” —a real name given me at birth— when to my amazement internet denizens repeatedly seemed to think Kate Logan was my real name. (Before going online it never even occurred to me that anyone would actually place their real name on the web.) This doesn't make much sense when applied in that particular case, but I've never been comfortable knowingly deceiving others —even about something silly like that. At any rate, I figured surely NO one could envision “Sugarpie Rabbit” on a birth certificate?
