QUOTE OF THE WEEK: Neither genius, fame, nor love show the

do that. -- Jean Baptiste Henri Lacordaire

Just a reminder to set your _research_ message. Do this by typing 'research me is ' It doesn't have to be about _research_ ..you can use the message to let other BayMOOers know what your interests are. If you use the COMMON GROUND feature the research messages can help ppl find each other...

N+E+W+S of BayMOOers

Two BayMOOers -- Oracle and Yea -- have brief pieces in the
January issue of *Wired*. Both are in the "Idees Fores" section.
Can you guess which ones are theirs?

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
At a recent internet conference in San Francisco, the room for the
Java demonstration was packed. The javameister then appeared for the demo --
and he was wearing a BayMOO T-shirt! Freeman Murray, the java man from
Sun Microsystems, was presented with the shirt several months ago by
Dr.J and Yea as the met to discuss future interactions between Java
and BayMOO.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Please @send *beacon with your successes folks!

Not a book this week, but two websites where you can find plenty
of information about books...

First a URL courtesy of EmmaPeel. This is for the Snowcrash site
http://www.rsabs.com/snow/

Next the website for the Internet Public Library: http://ipl.sils.umich.edu
There is also an associated MOO at: ipl.sils.umich.edu. IPL is experimenting
with online reference service...useful for those papers due *next* term...
Thanks to Gillyflower and Phantom for this information...
