"Start with [*Fleet Tactics and Coastal Combat*](http://www.amazon.com/Fleet-T...) and [*Soviet Naval Tactics*](http://www.amazon.com/Soviet-...). You might also find some good ideas from studying Clash of Arms' [*Harpoon*](http://clashofarms.com/mod-nav...) miniatures game." - Karl Sackett

"[Dover Publications](http://store.doverpublications.com/by-subj...) is a great source for math textbooks in almost any subtopic you may be interested in. Studying recreational math is a good way to add breadth to your knowledge. Read anything by [Martin Gardner](http://www.amazon.com/Martin-...) and [Clifford Pickover](http://www.amazon.com/Cliffor...)." - Karl Sackett

"You need to post a master list of autopost sites and their e-mail addresses. I had to try both 'identi.ca@posterous.com' and 'identica@posterous.com' to find the right one to use (and it's 'identica@...' FWIW)." - Karl Sackett

"The Disqus developers are really good about user support, so don't hesitate to ask them about integration with Posterous." - Karl Sackett

"Posterous recognized the FLAC and Vorbis files and plays them correctly. It looks like it also recognized the Speex file, but the player doesn't work. It failed to recognize the Theora file as video and instead treats it as audio, which won't work for this file." - Karl Sackett

After listening to the developers of Posterous interviewed in a recent Technometria podcast, I'm putting Posterous to a small test. The Posterous FAQ says they will post any type of file attached to my e-mail. Here, in no particular order, are four files that use open-source codecs developed by the Xiph.Org Foundation. What I hope to see is the three audio files dropped in to web players without being transcoded to MP3 first. It's okay if the Theora file gets transcoded to Flash for now, but that will change when Firefox 3.5 is released. And the files are: Speex: Evan Prodromou's presentation at Libre Planet 2009 on identi.ca. FLAC: 'Little Liza Jane' performed live by Hot Club of Cowtown. Vorbis: A audio track from Buze Julien's album 'A New Begin'. Theora: A short video from a Theora test suite. Let's see if they'll post.

"She makes a good point about college-ruled, two-block-per-line paper. I switched to Doane from using engineering pads, and I prefer the engineering pads for writing code snippets and blocks of text because I can write the lines closer together." - Karl Sackett

"Definitely Stephenson's Baroque Cycle. I remember him making a point about computer geeks becoming history geeks and he's right. I finished Anathem last night. 900 pages in less than two weeks - it's that good." - Karl Sackett
