David Drake

Dear People,

The most exciting news this time has very little to do with me. I am therefore turning the stage over to my webmaster, Karen Zimmerman:

The new web site is up at http://david-drake.com.  Our very simple original web site went live April 2000 and since then outgrew its ability to handle Dave’s very extensive, rich content.  I hope the new site helps users find things more easily—there are a lot of cross references and access points.  Please be aware that I’m still tweaking things, so you might see changes in appearance once in a while, and I’m still uploading some of the old archival content, including past newsletters and photos. continue reading…

DrakeNews is Dave’s occasional newsletter (think of it as a long blog entry) distributed by e-mail subscription and posted here on the website.  The first newsletter was distributed November 14, 2000, and all of them are archived here (or will be soon).

If you are interested in subscribing to the newsletter mailing list, please sign up through the Contact Form.

This is a subscription list for Dave’s occasional announcements only, not a general discussion list.

Enjoy!

This is an extremely erudite book, even for me.  continue reading…
