Various short updates

A shame I have not posted more.
Great shame.
I have a few tidbits, none of which are worthy of a post individually.
First, RPGWatch is my new best friend! They have agreed to post regular news articles on my current project. Check out the first one here:

Second, I spent considerable time this year editing a book on API design. It is now finished and can be purchased here:

Last, an observation about my development practices and how I spend my time. Actually, I COULD make a full post out of this one, but until such time as I believe I have a large number of readers, I am probably too lazy. At any rate, here is the observation:
NEVER EVER EVER copy and paste code. I spend hours tracking down bugs that boil down to this root cause. Besides being bug-prone, it indicates design flaws when one is copy/pasting. Lesson learned? Sigh. Probably not.
