OK, maybe I'm too skeptical.

There are two elements your live home page that are highly suspect. The first is the "ticking clock" gadget, which is just about the same as the Windows clock, adding an annoying sound effect. Who would really want that on their page?

The real kicker is the weather gadget. I understand the minute the sun peeks out of the clouds in Seattle, it is announced on the building intercom. Happens at least twice a month. Simply superfluous! Even your screen shot demonstrates that fact.

Have a great day Dare! Looking forward to more gadgets!

Hello!


I am owner of http://JavaFAQ.nu site. I have read your "A COMPARISON OF MICROSOFT'S C# PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE TO SUN MICROSYSTEMS' JAVA PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE" article years ago (2 Dec 2002 actually it was :-))
when it was at:
http://www.prism.gatech.edu/~gte855q/CsharpVsJava.html

I have still paper copy with that old URL... Recently cleaning up my bookshelf I found it again and thought that is so valuable for me, I will keep it more...

By the way I thought that it could be good idea if I could republish it on my site as well.

Yes, I read in your blog that it is on a few educational sites already, but from my experience Educational sites often have short time to live and when their cources change or teacher moves somewhere else, all matherials are gone soon as well. I had zillion links to such sites before and finally stopped with this, because they often are gone after just few months I publish such link...

I would like to ask your permission to republish your article on my site where I promise much longer life for it :-)

It will be free for all the visitors of my site and I promise keep the refernce link to your site as a site of article origin.

kind regards,
Alexandre Patchine
